Camera Solutions for Automotive Applications

Your Connection to all Camera Applications for ADAS and Autonomous Driving Technologies

Rosenberger has developed compact camera connectors designed for high data rates in LiDAR, radar, and both interior and exterior camera applications including surround view, front, rear, and mirror cameras. These all-in-one, future-proof coaxial interfaces FAKRA, HFM^®, RMC^®, pigtail variants, and housings in metal or plastic can be tailored with PCB bullets, with or without tolerance compensation, depending on technical requirements. Adaptable and scalable modular systems enable increased efficiency and cost optimization through a high degree of automation.

Our products are engineered for performance, reliability, and ease of assembly in high-density electronic environments.

Layout Recommendation – SMD Footprint

Surface-mount devices (SMDs) are compact components that are soldered directly onto the PCB.
Their high-frequency performance and connection quality depend on several factors, including substrate thickness and board design.
Rosenberger provides detailed layout recommendations and optimized footprints to ensure reliable performance and manufacturability.

Space-Optimized Connectivity for Driver Monitoring Systems

“DirectLink” pigtail connectors in a compact size – 10 mm smaller than common standard versions – enables flexible installation in highly constrained environments.

Integrating driver monitoring cameras into tight spaces such as the steering column, rearview mirror, or A-pillar requires advanced connector solutions.
Rosenberger addresses this challenge with newly designed “DirectLink” pigtail connectors in customer-specific requirements, based on the proven HFM^® series and standard PCB connector.

“DirectLink” Pigtails - Wire-to-Board Solutions optional with Power Pins
The fully assembled pigtail solution ensures reliable data transmission and scalable power supply (MQS pins) up to the interface within the vehicle wiring harness. It supports all common cable-side interfaces including FAKRA, HFM^®, and RMC^®.

Thanks to a fully automated assembly process, the solution offers excellent repeatability and cost-efficient manufacturing, making it ideal for large-scale deployment in driver assistance applications.
