Lisle, Illinois – The Molex stAK50h unsealed connection system delivers signal and Ethernet connectivity in automotive body electronics; safety; and driver assist, comfort, and infotainment devices.
Eliminating the need for two separate connection systems for signal and Ethernet optimizes space and design flexibility. The USCAR-2-compliant stAK50h Connection System expedites validation time for Tier One automotive manufacturers making design changes and launching new vehicle models.
A stackable header design eliminates custom tooling, engineering, and validation time typically required in multi-bay automotive device and module configurations.
Through-hole style unsealed headers and hybrid connectors allow the single- to multi-bay stAK50h connector system meet industry-standard footprints based on 0.5mm, 1.2mm and 2.8mm terminal sizes. The hybrid system is available with 12-circuit to 56-circuit receptacles and can be used in applications ranging from low-current signal (5A) to high-power applications (30A).
Headers and receptacles are color-matched to enable quick identification and easy assembly. The Connector Position Assurance (CPA) latching feature prevents accidental disengagement of the stAK50h connection system.
