Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are connected vehicle technologies designed to enhance vehicle safety, reduce driver stress, and increase overall vehicle performance. They are becoming increasingly common in modern vehicles as automakers seek to create more connected and automated experiences.
ADAS technology uses multiple sensors and data sources to gather information about the environment around the vehicle, analyze it, and make inferences and decisions.
In order to enable this connected experience, ADAS systems require an interface or connector in order to communicate with external devices. This connector is what allows the ADAS system to “talk” to other components in the system or devices external to it.
ADAS system connectors provide support for several features such as monitoring of exterior lighting, rearview cameras, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, emergency brake assist, and more.
The complexity of the connector depends on the particular type of system. Some ADAS systems can be plugged into a standard electrical port, while others require a dedicated connector.
Additionally, there are different types of connectors available depending on the particular application. ADAS system connectors must be able to provide reliable and secure connections, support both analog and digital signals, and be of a size and shape to fit into small or challenging installations. Most importantly, it needs to be able to capture data efficiently in a way that meets the safety standards for the particular application.
The Global ADAS connector market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The new connector from Molex will enable ADAS towards system miniaturisation and increase system stability. As the global leader in connections, Molex hasn’t spared any effort in creating cutting-edge micro-connectors.
It has also introduced matching board-to-board connectors designed specifically for ADAS applications, which will aid the sector in realising the growth of ADAS miniaturisation.
The market’s increasing need for flexible and dependable connections can be satisfied by using Molex’s board-to-board solution, which is composed of sturdy components. Because of their large floating ranges, these connections are simple to match and may be constructed by robots.
Molex unveiled the FSB3 and FSB5 line of floating SlimStack board-to-board connectors designed for ADAS software. Only 3 mm separates the FSB3 and 5 mm separates the FSBs in height. With the smallest sizes in their class, they have adjustable mating heights, large terminal floating ranges, and both.
Smart design is essential for achieving miniaturisation in cameras, radars, and LiDARs since it fits space requirements and enables robotic assembly. In addition to supporting working environments up to 125°C and data transmission rates of up to 6 Gbps, Molex’s SlimStack board-to-board connectors, floating FSB3 and FSB5 series, can withstand the demands of a variety of ADAS applications for temperature compliance.
The market for connected and automated vehicles is the primary focus of the SlimStack FSB3 and FSB5 floating terminals. They are primarily used for connecting cameras, radars, and LiDARs in ADAS, as well as for the digital cockpit and in-car infotainment systems, which can accommodate the systems’ requirements for stability and miniaturisation.
These systems include digital cluster instruments, heads-up displays, central information displays, and driver monitoring systems. The floating FSB3 and FSB5 series of Molex’s SlimStack board-to-board connections are small and of extremely high quality. They can meet the requirements of automotive ADAS miniaturisation and will soon be considered as one of the finest options for manufacturers creating ADAS-related goods.
