JAE board to board connectors for vehicle safety are available from Rutronik
Two floating board to board connectors, the AX01 and MA01, by Japan Aviation Electronics Industry (JAE) combine a high transmission speed (8Gbits per second) with floating contacts to minimise mating-centring errors.
They are available from distributor, Rutronik for the ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) market. This sector is growing rapidly due to new regulations and legislation, explained Rutronik.
JAE’s AX01 and MA01 connectors can be used in interference-sensitive applications that rely on real time data transmission. These include, for example, safety functions in vehicles (warning systems, cameras), navigation systems, audio and radio modules.
The AX01 and MA01 connectors are available in 88 combinations for each series, eight different styles (30 to 140), and 11 stacking heights (8.0 to 30mm).
Both the AX01 and MA01 series feature a floating tolerance of ±0.5mm in the X and Y directions, allowing for positional misalignment and misalignment compensation in automated assembly and mating processes.
The MA01 series connectors can be used at automotive operating temperatures of up to 125 degrees C.
The two-point contact structure ensures a highly reliable high-speed connection and uninterrupted continuity, even if one contact point is blocked by a foreign object.
A cap provides additional protection to the mating area which enables simple pick-and-place and facilitates automatic assembly. The SMT design additionally enables uncomplicated assembly, added Rutronik.
