How do modular wiring harnesses support zonal architectures?
Vehicle wiring harnesses without a zonal architecture can have over 1,000 wires connecting over a hundred ECUs. They are difficult to fabricate and install, and changes can be difficult and costly to implement. However, using modular wiring harnesses in zonal architectures can overcome those challenges. A zonal architecture places electronic control units (ECUs) in multiple […]
Automotive board connectors handle harsh environments
Hirose has designed a two-piece FPC/FFC-to-board connector for harsh environment applications including automotive.
