Test Adaptors for High-Speed Automotive Data Connectors
The need for test & measurement equipment for automotive high-speed interfaces is growing!
Therefore Rosenberger developed test equipment and accessories for coaxial and differential automotive connector series, e.g. FAKRA, HFM®, RMC® and RosenbergerHSD®, H-MTD®, MTD®.
The ongoing standardization of high-speed connections in the automotive industry enables a robust and long-lasting implementation within the proven "building-block strategy" approach. This allows automakers to establish a reliable multi-vendor and second-source procurement strategy. A critical success factor in this process is the use of a precisely tuned simulation framework based on worst-case models. This approach helps eliminate fragmented or inconsistent limits within the cabling supply chain for most high-speed protocols. At the same time, it provides a solid foundation for functional safety assessments β from Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASIL) to Failure In Time (FIT) rate calculations. Clear responsibilities and liability assignments throughout the entire wiring harness supply chain further enhance process security. To ensure flawless and high-performance signal transmission, specialized test adapters for automotive connectors are essential. They enable precise measurements and comprehensive validation for a wide range of applications β from development to production and quality assurance.
Rely on customized test adapters for your high-speed data transmission and benefit from maximum reliability and efficiency in your automotive development!
