Component miniaturization is a key enabler of automotive innovation, particularly in relation to connector technology that transports electrical power, signaling and data within the harnesses to these new electronic components themselves.
Download this paper to examine how manufacturers can achieve strategic space-saving goals by using miniaturized connectors that provide true automotive-grade robustness. We also consider other factors contributing to the robustness of miniaturized components, such as small-wire crimp quality, and discuss how to address the increased risk of metallic whisker growth on high-density PCB pin connections.
