Molex high-speed FAKRA-Mini (HFM) Off-the-Shelf (OTS) cable assemblies
Molex announces 225775 series
Designed to provide high-speed data connectivity for advanced automotive systems including cameras and telematics, High-Speed FAKRA-Mini (HFM) connectors deliver data rates of up to 28Gbps at frequencies up to 20GHz in a compact, lightweight form factor optimized for rugged reliability and space efficiency.
Features
- Optimizes space and weight
- The compact design is up to 80% smaller than FAKRA connectors, significantly reducing weight and saving installation space, maximizing limited PCB real estate and enhancing overall efficiency
- Enables real-time communication with high-performance devices
- The HFM system provides reliable, fully shielded coaxial cable connections, minimizing latency and interference while enabling high-speed communication with high-resolution cameras, telematics and infotainment devices
- Prevents accidental disconnection in high-vibration applications
- The integrated secondary lock and available connector position assurance provide robust terminal and connector retention
- Supports future upgrades by improving flexibility and minimizing the need for redesigns
- The versatile modular system enables future-proof vehicle architectures with single, dual, dual-stack and quad connectors for wire-to-wire, wire-to-module and wire-to-device solutions
- Accelerates development processes
- Short lead times and immediate access to cable assemblies enable rapid prototyping, faster iteration cycles, immediate design verification and quicker time to market while avoiding development bottlenecks
- Improves workflows
- Enabling contingency options and accommodating last-minute changes reduces administrative burdens and streamlines engineering and verification processes
- Delivers cost efficiencies
- Supporting small-quantity testing and eliminating rush fees helps reduce development costs
- Streamlines and simplifies the design process
- Using OTS components lowers risk, improves design flexibility and enables standardization of system components
