Now at Mouser: Molex MX-DaSH connector for vehicles

Mouser Electronics is now stocking the MX-DaSH wire-to-wire connector system from Molex. The MX-DaSH connector system combines power, ground circuit, and high-speed data connectivity in a single connector system.

The MX-DaSH series supports the transition to zonal architecture in automotive and commercial applications, including autonomous driving modules, computing modules, high-speed cable networking, sensor-device connectivity, high-resolution 4k displays, GPS devices, and infotainment systems.

The Molex MX-DaSH wire-to-wire connector system, now available at Mouser, is a unified solution for compact connectivity in electronic control unit (ECU) controllers and computers. The MX-DaSH connector system replaces multiple traditional connectors in in-vehicle applications, saving space and reducing the cost and complexity of wiring harnesses. The MX-DaSH series offers configurations to support different power and signal terminal sizes, including 1.20, 1.50, and 2.80mm, suitable for a wide range of vehicle designs and applications.

The MX-DaSH connector system offers up to 31 circuits with high-speed FAKRA Mini (HFM) modules for high-speed data transmission. The MX-DaSH connectors operate reliably in harsh environments and provide secure mating via independent secondary lock (ISL), pin protection plate (PPP), and blade protections. Automated assembly reduces cycle times, prevents errors, and improves overall manufacturing process efficiency.

The Molex MX-DaSH wire-to-wire connector system recently won a host of industry awards, including the EPDT Product of the Year; Interconnection Product of the Year, and Automotive Product of the Year, Electronics Industry Awards (EMEA); High Performance Passive/Discrete Devices, WEAA Awards (China); OFWeek Awards (China); Discrete Category Winner, EEA Awards (Asia/Taiwan); and Finalist in the Automotive Electronics and Passive/Interconnection Product of the Year categories, Elektra awards (UK).

The Molex MX-DaSH wire-to-wire connector system was recently featured in the January 14 edition of Mouser’s ‘New Tech Tuesday’ blog, Optimizing Automotive Zonal Architecture with the MX-DaSH Connector System.
