Data transmission and wiring harnesses that still work even after 15 years in the vehicle.

A modern vehicle processes image data from up to twelve cameras, as well as radar and lidar signals. Each of these connections runs through a data cable that must withstand engine heat, vibration, and moisture within the vehicle’s electrical system. If the connection fails, the driver assistance function fails. That is why KE Elektronik develops and manufactures data cabling as a complete system: cable, connector, housing, and seal — all from a single source.

For LVDS and Automotive Ethernet transmission, we use RF connector systems designed for specific impedance and shielding attenuation. Cable assembly is fully automated. Cutting, stripping, shielding, crimping, and housing installation are all performed in a single machine; each process step is monitored, and the machine automatically rejects defective parts.

When installation space is limited or tightness requirements are high, we supply overmolded cable assemblies that do not require additional sealing elements. The performance of a connection is determined by the details: contact resistance, crimp geometry, and shielding connection. In our laboratory, we test cross-sectional micrographs, pull-off forces, and high-frequency properties throughout the manufacturing process. We work with you to define product requirements and IP protection classes before the first mold is built.

APPLICATIONS
  • Camera systems (ADAS)
  • Radar & Lidar systems
  • Automotive Ethernet in the vehicle electrical system
  • Infotainment and display integration
  • Sensors for autonomous driving
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT

NEW: APH-MCX
Amphenol Minicoax

The new APH-MCX product family was developed to provide reliable and smart connectivity for modern high-frequency applications. The RF connector system enables the transmission of signals between systems for cameras, sensors, radar, and LiDAR, thereby supporting applications in the areas of driver assistance, autonomous driving, navigation, and infotainment. Overmolded versions are also available for various installation scenarios, offering advantages in terms of space optimization, vibration resistance, and sealing.

  • High flexibility in design and application
  • Mechanical and color coding 
  • Acoustically verifiable connector locking mechanism 
  • Robust construction with integrated primary and secondary locking (TPA)
  • Optional CPA (Connector Position Assurance) 
  • Waterproof models 
SCOPE OF APPLICATION

Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Autonomous Driving, Navigation, Infotainment Systems

Data cabling with expertise — from concept to mass production.

Standard solutions quickly reach their limits when it comes to data cabling. Installation space, connector locations, and cable lengths vary depending on the vehicle platform and application. That is why KE Elektronik develops customized solutions that are precisely tailored to our customers’ requirements.

We support projects using the APQP process, from the initial feasibility analysis through prototype development and validation all the way to the start of series production (SOP). Thanks to our extensive in-house expertise in component development, tooling and equipment manufacturing, and measurement and testing technology, we ensure streamlined development processes, high flexibility, and maximum quality.

As part of Amphenol Corporation, we benefit from the world’s leading portfolio of connector systems and combine this with our expertise in the development and manufacturing of custom data cabling. Production takes place according to uniform standards at our locations in Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, North Macedonia, China, and Mexico.
 
For our customers, this means: identical processes, consistent inspection criteria, and consistently high quality, regardless of where production takes place. This is how we build strong connections around the world.

Product Highlights

Automotive Ethernet

Automotive Ethernet is a high-performance networking technology designed for fast and reliable data communication within vehicles. It forms the foundation for the networking of modern vehicle systems and enables the transmission of large amounts of data in real time.

Mini-FAKRA

Mini-FAKRA is a compact, high-frequency connector system designed for reliable data transmission in modern vehicles. Thanks to its small size, it is particularly well-suited for applications with limited installation space and high data-rate requirements.

LVDS

In the automotive sector, LVDS is a high-speed transmission technology for digital signals. It is used to transmit large amounts of data over lines that offer high immunity to interference and low power consumption.
