High speed data connectors (also known as HSD) can meet the low voltage, high-speed data requirements of various automotive applications. These compact shielded connectors can transmit high-frequency signals and are commonly used in automotive and industrial applications such as Ethernet, USB, and LVDS systems, as well as limited consumer electronics products. They provide strong signal integrity, lower electromagnetic interference (EMI), and support data rates of up to 6 Gb/s, making them suitable for advanced communication networks.
HSD connectors are part of an industry wide effort aimed at meeting the growing demand for high-speed and reliable data transmission in automotive and industrial applications. The concept and design originated from a collaboration between connector manufacturers, including Rosenberger and TE Connectivity, aimed at standardizing data communication interfaces for applications such as Ethernet, USB, and LVDS, which are used in the automotive industry for information entertainment systems, cameras, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and automation systems in industrial environments.
HSD complies with AUTOSAR connector requirements, ISO and IEC standards, as well as protocols including USB, LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling), Ethernet (IEEE 802.3), Firewire (IEEE 1394), APIX (Digital Serial Link for Display and Camera Point to Point Applications), CAN (Controller Area Network), MHL (Mobile HD Link), and PCIe.
