In wire-to-wire and wire-to-board form, they are aimed at autonomous driving modules, cameras, GPS, infotainment, lidar, displays and sensors.

There are sealed and un-sealed options, and configurations with 0.50, 0.64, 1.20, 1.50, 2.80 or 4.80mm terminals as well as coaxial Fakra Mini contacts.


There are multiple options, said the company: “For instance, the 31+1 way connector combines 31 power and ground circuits, as well as a high-speed data connection,” and added that “MX-Dash connectors have been validated in accordance with global industry standards groups, including USCAR, Peugeot and IEC.”


Not all connectors are validated to all standards.
