Rosenberger Hochfrequenztechnik GmbH & Co. KG ("Rosenberger") and ept GmbH ("ept") are joining forces to develop hybrid connectors for automotive applications.
Modern automotive E/E architectures use both high-speed data connectors for differential data transmission, for example for automotive Ethernet, as well as classic signal and power connectors, for example for CAN or LIN bus.
The cooperation between ept and Rosenberger integrates both types in combined hybrid connectors which can be assembled on the printed circuit board using either conventional soldering technology or the advantageous press-fit technology.
Both companies are leading suppliers in their respective fields:
Rosenberger's wide range of connectors, including the H-MTDยฎ series, MTDยฎ, HFMยฎ and FAKRA, is known worldwide for its high-speed data transmission in automotive applications, such as Ethernet for ADAS or infotainment.
ept is known for its Tcom pressยฎ-fit zone and custom interface connectors for automotive ECUs, especially in critical applications such as airbag ECUs, ABS/ESP, combustion engine or electric drive and battery ECUs.
