Test and Measurement Accessories for Automotive Connectors: Precision for the Highest Demands

The automotive industry faces continuously growing challengesโ€”both in high-speed data transmission and in the reliable measurement of interference in high-voltage traction networks of electric and hybrid vehicles.

On the one hand, modern vehicles require high-performance connectors that ensure secure, fast, and interference-free signal transmission. On the other hand, high-voltage components must be tested under realistic conditions to precisely detect and analyze electromagnetic interference (EMI), for example. New technologies and standards call for innovative test equipment and highly precise measurement methods to ensure the quality and safety of these complex systems. As a development partner with extensive expertise, the Rosenberger Group designs and manufactures high-quality precision products for measurement technology applicationsโ€”custom-tailored to meet the demands of the automotive industry.

 

High-Speed Data Solutions

The need for Test Equipment for Automotive High-Speed Data Interfaces is growing!

Therefore Rosenberger developed test equipment and accessories for coaxial and differential automotive connector series, e.g. FAKRA, HFMยฎ, RMCยฎ and RosenbergerHSDยฎ, H-MTDยฎ, MTDยฎ.

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. 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 โ€“ 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!

Measurement Coupler for HPK-Connectors in Electro-Vehicles

The developed HPK measurement coupler from Rosenberger enables a minimally invasive testing method in order to measure reliable RF voltages and currents. In conjunction with a dedicated calibration process, the patented algorithms can accurately calculate the RF currents and voltages in the calibration reference plane. This enables EMC experts to get a deep insight into the EMC behavior of automotive traction networks.

Applications:
Broadband measurement of voltage and current on high-voltage cables in vehicles including transients and harmonics
Identification of possible sources of radiated emissions
Determination of complex source or load impedances at a predefined reference plane
On-board EMC measurements during test drives
EMC measurements possible on battery lines, motor lines and power lines for miscellaneous components
Simulation - Thermal optimization of HV harnesses
