HSAutoLink C Interconnect System
The HSAutoLink C connector is the first automotive-grade sealed USB Type C connector on the market, supporting use of this compact form factor with a range of applications in harsh conditions and delivering one of the highest-density solutions available for automotive high-speed data connectivity.
The miniaturized form factor and multiple cable exit options help reduce package size and space on the board, saving material costs and enabling more compact modules. The connector supports mixed protocol connectivity, as well as hybrid power and high-speed data connections, which streamlines system design work and reduces the need for multiple connectors. With an automotive-grade housing and available environmental sealing, the robust design resists accidental disconnection and dust/moisture ingress, improving reliability.
Global manufacturing capability, robust engineering support, and a focus on innovation and collaboration to develop next-generation solutions make Molex a unique partner in finding capability solutions.
Features and Benefits
-
Enables use in harsh automotive environments
The available sealed connector allows use in wet environments, while connector position assurance (CPA) uses a positive lock to ensure reliable connectivity in applications subject to shock or vibration forces.
-
Delivers reliable high-speed data connectivity
Supporting data rates up to a combined 40Gbps, the connector features a fully shielded design to enhance signal integrity and reduce interference.
-
Reduces package size and space on the PCB
The high-density, 24-pin design supports miniaturization and design flexibility, enabling the consolidation of multiple applications into a compact space on the board.
-
Provides hybrid power and data connectivity
Up to 240W of power is available in the same form factor as high-speed data connectivity, supporting a range of advanced applications.
-
Enhances design flexibility
Multiple cable configurations, header configurations and pinout options simplify design work and allow the connector to meet specific PCB design requirements.
