Yamaichi connector for high data rate vehicle applications

Author: EIS Release Date: Dec 7, 2021

Yamaichi Electronics has developed a connector to cope with the increasing amounts of data being transmitted inside vehicles.

 

Continuous loads of up to 20A and peaks >40A are not uncommon and clearly show the growing user profile.

 

The “hot-plug” and “always-on” requirements have also been part of OEMs’ specifications for some time.

 

Yamaichi  has developed an interface for this called Y- CCC,  standing for Yamaichi-Car-Computer-Connector.

 

With this hybrid connector, it is possible to accommodate the requirements for power, signals and high-speed data in one receptacle size and to transmit them accordingly.

 

In order to meet the high demands of the automotive industry (vibration / shock etc.), the materials and the design were laid out and internally tested according to the common automotive standards such as LV214 and VDA.

 

The  current configuration of the Y-CCC connector system is as follows:

 

• 56 signal contacts

 

• 48 differential pairs for high-speed transmission up to PCIe 4.0

 

• 8 power contacts up to 20A

 

• TH reflow solder version

 

• Screw mounting of the backplane connector
