Molex HSAutoLink C Interconnect System

Molex HSAutoLink C Interconnect System features a miniaturized, robust form factor for automotive applications requiring reliable, high-performance data and power connectivity. The USCAR Type-C® interface delivers combined-system data rates up to 40Gbps and up to 240W of power, meeting USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 and DisplayPort specifications and supporting multiple protocols, such as USB, LVDS, and Ethernet. The HSAutoLink C system includes sealed and unsealed versions incorporating 24 pins and multiple cable routing options into a single connector housing. This high-density format optimizes space and functionality, while the multiple cable exits and strain relief angles help simplify module design. The connector position assurance (CPA) helps ensure reliable operation in harsh conditions, including those with moisture and vibration. Molex HSAutoLink C Interconnect System is ideal for networking, agricultural machinery, automotive diagnostics, and infotainment.

Features

  • Rugged reliability for harsh automotive environments
