The automotive industry is changing rapidly. Major technological advancements in the past decade are leading the way to re-inventing the four-wheeled life necessity (taking you from point A to B) into a completely new form of transportation. We are now driving tech gadgets on wheels, loaded with autonomous devices, fast data connectivity features and electrification solutions.
As new technologies are introduced to the car, driver safety and technology reliability remains key. Therefore, OEMs are demanding higher quality connectors and interconnect solutions from their suppliers. Their aim is to secure proper interoperability between critical devices that support all instrumentations in contact with the vehicle’s operator.
The FAKRA Connector is a component that serves that role.
