Molex introduces 25 Gbps HSAutoLink G Ethernet connector

25 Gbps in a backward-compatible package provides OEMs with a reliable upgrade path without requiring full vehicle architecture redesign Molex has introduced the HSAutoLink G Connector System, an automotive Ethernet connector that supports multi-gigabit data transmission up to 25 Gbps and targets the bandwidth demands of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), LiDAR, regional architectures, and centralized computing. The system expands the HSAutoLink portfolio, which has supplied more than 700 million connectors to the automotive industry since 2008. The connector uses electromagnetic interference shielding and controlled differential impedance to maintain signal integrity in busy vehicle environments. The anti-stub terminal design reduces the risk of mismatching and the reversible housing shroud provides packaging flexibility. The system is compatible with existing industry standard USCAR Ethernet interface footprints, allowing integration into existing architectures without redesign. Min Kong, Regional General Manager of Molex Connected Mobility Systems, said in a statement: “As the automotive industry moves to Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs), automakers must overcome major performance bottlenecks while providing the highest levels of reliable connectivity. The HSAutoLink family has been a reliable backbone for vehicle architectures for nearly two decades. Building on this legacy, the new HSAutoLink G system provides OEMs with a field-proven upgrade path, enabling faster delivery times by increasing supply chain flexibility and flexibility in the market.” Samples are now available for early qualification and design testing. Molex also addresses demand from the Chinese automotive market, where the rapid shift to 25 Gbps Ethernet has increased interest in multi-qualified connectors.
