TE Connectivity NET-AX+ Modular-Hybrid Data Connectors

TE Connectivity's (TE) NET-AX+ Modular-Hybrid Data Connectors feature a modular solution that integrates differential and coaxial data with signal and power contacts in a single connector assembly. The connectors offer a chiclet-based building-block design, allowing for a reduction of the PCB footprint by up to 40%. The NET-AX+ series also has customizable modular headers, requiring up to 80% fewer mating assemblies. This compact design is ideal for delivering next-generation mobility experiences, including electrical/electronic (E/E) architectures. The connectors support various protocols, including automotive Ethernet, SerDes, USB, and multi-lane PCIe. The TE NET-AX+ Modular-Hybrid Data Connectors are suitable for high-performance computers (HPCs), control units, autonomous driving, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), infotainment, and zone controllers. The connectors enable up to 56Gbps speed grades, designed for current and next-generation vehicles.
