1. What is a connector
Connectors are electronic components that transmit and exchange current or optical signals between electronic system devices. The manufacturing materials of connectors are mainly metal, electroplating materials, plastic materials, etc. The direct material cost of connectors accounts for 50%-60% of the overall cost, of which copper and plastic are the main materials.
2. High-speed connector break-proof
At present, new energy vehicles are developing in the direction of intelligence, and the intelligent driving system continues to be superimposed to L3, thereby increasing the number of sensors (cameras, millimeter-wave radars, and lidars, etc.), as well as parking assistance, lane departure warning, and night vision assistance. , adaptive cruise, collision avoidance, blind spot detection, driver fatigue detection and other functional requirements have expanded, prompting ADAS (advanced driving assistance) to be equipped with a higher bandwidth transmission network.
According to the agency's calculation, the self-driving vehicle will generate more than 4T of data per day. Based on the data transmission volume of a single sensor, the data volume generated by the radar and video sensor of the self-driving vehicle will reach 100MByte/s. On top of this, the additional The fused data in the ECU is about 50MByte/s. For example, a vehicle equipped with five radar sensors and two video systems (plus additional other measurements) needs to manage a massive amount of data of about 1GByte/s during acquisition and storage.
Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, its communication requirements are lower, mainly for AM/FM radio signal reception, or positioning and navigation antennas without a network, the amount of data is small, and the requirements for data delay are not high.
Therefore, in the 5G era, the development of intelligence and the demand for massive data processing have created the defense of high-speed connectors.
