Car Connectivity based on Automotive Ethernet MATEnet interconnection system provides bandwidth, flexibility and reliability Page 10 Car Connectivity based on Automotive Ethernet MATEnet interconnection system provides bandwidth, flexibility and reliability TE AUTOMOTIVE /// White Paper | Car Connectivity based on Automotive Ethernet Currently the MATEnet connector portfolio comprises 90° headers (wire-to-board) with 1, 2 or 5 port inline connectors and 180° headers – all in UTP and STP variations. Other versions of headers/frames will follow later as the portfolio is still under development and will be expanded according to market needs. MATEnet products can be ordered either as an assembled cabling or as individual products. A fully auto- mated termination and insertion process complete with tooling has also been developed and validated to meet the most exacting quality specifications. 4.3 | ROBUSTNESS AND CONTACT PHYSICS MATEnet relies on the proven NanoMQS terminals, which are automotive-grade contacts, proven in vehi- cle applications. These miniaturized contacts offer a particularly high robustness against vibration (for more details see below in chapter 5). For the use in the MATEnet interconnection system TE has utilized this strength and extended it by keeping all mechanical loading away from the crimp through the fixation unit. Despite this robustness the rectangular NanoMQS contact is easily inserted into the frame thanks to lead-in chamfers and a self-centering, polarized design. With permissible ambient temperatures of between -40 °C and up to 105 °C the terminals can be used in a wide scope of automotive applications. 4.4 | SELECTED PERFORMANCE DATA The selected performance data below are preliminary figures. Adjustments caused by different test results are possible. More details can be found in the MATEnet connector data sheet which is part of the TE test specification 108-94568.
