TE Connectivity’s NET-AX+ modular hybrid connector system

The NET-AX+ modular hybrid connector system supports high-speed differential and coaxial data transmission as well as signal and power connections within a single connector assembly.

“At TE, we collaborate with virtually every OEM as they navigate the fast-paced advancements in vehicle architectures,” said Konstantin Scheid, global product manager at TE. “The NET-AX+ modular hybrid connector system was showcased at CES this year in a real-use capacity in HARMAN’s advanced cockpit domain controller ‘Ready Upgrade’ and was praised by OEMs for its groundbreaking data transfer efficiency and manufacturing-friendly design.”

Featuring a chiclet-based building-block design, customisable and modular header design, the NET-AX+ modular hybrid connector system offers up to 40% reduced PCB footprint, 80% fewer mating assemblies and optimised installation space for the harness connector. Enabling speed grades up to 56 Gbps, NET-AX+ modular hybrid connector system is designed for both the current and next generation of electrical/electronic architectures to support the ethernet and SerDes applications of next-generation vehicles.
