Feature CPA

Connector Position Assurance prevents Unintentional Disengagement

High-speed data connectors are increasingly required in safety applications such as autonomous driving and driver assistance systems. In response, Rosenberger has developed an optional CPA (Connector Position Assurance) solution which improves connection reliability.
The CPA cannot be activated if the connector has not been completely mated. When aligned correctly the CPA can be closed.

Additional products are available on request.
