ERNI MicroBridge Connectors: High-Temperature Miniaturization for Automotive Systems

Описание: TE Connectivity’s ERNI MicroBridge cable-to-board connectors are engineered to meet the stringent demands of the automotive industry, specifically adhering to LV214 and USCAR 2 test specifications. This miniaturized 1.27mm pitch connector system provides an exceptionally reliable solution for high-density applications where space is at a premium and environmental conditions are extreme.

Designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C up to +150°C, the MicroBridge series ensures signal integrity through advanced mechanical features like integrated strain relief and double-sided interlocking. Engineers benefit from the optional Electrical Connector Position Assurance (CPA), which uses a shortened test pin to verify a secure mate before the system is powered. With robust solder clips that resist high shock and vibration, the MicroBridge is the ideal choice for failure-critical automotive modules, from LED lighting to advanced sensor arrays.
