DRIVING TOWARD AN EMISSIONLESS FUTURE IN TRANSPORTATION THE CAR IN THE AGE OF CONNECTIVITY The Data & Devices (D&D) business at TE is at the leading edge of speed and performance. For us, a 100, 400 gig connection is next generation high speed. What we're finding is that there's an increasing usage of D&D core products in connected cars, such as backplane connectors, internal cabling systems, or high speed IO. This is creating synergies between the Data & Devices group and the Automotive group at TE Connectivity. Amitabh Passi, VP Strategy and Business Development, TE Communications Solutions Miniaturized, high-speed networks also pose a fundamental challenge in thermal management and EMI. Our innovations in BLS and heat sink integration have improved efficiency and performance. Initially developed for enterprise and hyperscale data centers, these are more relevant than ever to auto manufacturers. In the car, TE products connect almost every electrical function – from alternative power systems to infotainment and sensor technologies. Board level shielding EMI shields from TE Connectivity In addition, TE solutions help meet the evolving challenges and requirements of the auto industry: • Data connectivity: Technologies based on coax, shielded, optical, and wireless mediums. • Power and data distribution: High reliability transmission through connecting, switching, protecting, and sensing competencies. • Sensing: Data-driven technology to measure position, pressure, speed, temperature, humidity, and fluid quality. • Weight reduction through miniaturization: TE Nanos and MCON 0.50 interconnection systems enable a reduced size for electronic components, smaller wires, and a reduced total connector package. • Weight reduction through shift from copper to aluminum: When applied to a typical family-size car, the shift to aluminum conductors and TE's LITEALUM crimp can save up to two or three kilograms of weight. This efficiency reduces the weight of the car and is achieved at lower material cost. • Reliability and experience: For several decades, TE has supported global OEMs with their electrical architectural needs, with solutions that enable cars to be safer and smarter – all while adapting to increased technical requirements.
