ept’s Flexilink connectors - Rugged, Robust, and Space-saving

High stress, shock, and vibration are no match for ept's Flexlilink BTB line. Flexilink connectors have a 2.54 mm grid for secure PCB connections, and their two-sided design creates an excellent rugged connection for applications with high switching currents. Choosing a Flexilink connector can also save space in PCB design, without sacrificing current rating. Flexilinks are available for board-to-board distances of 5 to 25 millimeters, 2 to 90 pins, and their pins can be arranged in 1 to 3 rows. Each pin has a current rating of up to 11 Ampere. Flexilink connectors are already actively utilized in many high-stress applications, including safety mechanisms, LED lighting applications, and power tools. | Ept and Rosenberger have collaborated to develop a new hybrid connector system for automotive E/E 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. This new HYMC collaboration between ept and Rosenberger integrates both types of connections into single hybrid connector system that can be mounted on the printed circuit board using either conventional soldering technology or ept’s rugged Tcom press-fit technology. This innovative solution combines the many years of expertise of both companies: Rosenberger in the field of high-frequency connectors and ept in the field of signal and power connectors. Rosenberger is known worldwide for its comprehensive connector range, which includes the H-MTD®, MTD®, HFM® and FAKRA series. These products are leading the way in high-speed data transmission for automotive applications such as Ethernet for ADAS and infotainment. Since our entry into the automotive sector over 25 years ago, ept’ s connectivity components have experienced 0 field failures in operation. The rugged reliability of ept’s unique Tcom pin design has made our press-fit contacts a long-standing automotive industry standard, and are requested by name. A leading global supplier, especially with customized interface connectors for automotive ECUs, ept’s component performance is time-proven in critical applications such as airbag, ABS/ESP, motor controls and beyond.
