Furthermore, the 5652 Series are Kyocera’s first connectors to use the new ‘FloXY’ brand name, and the company plans to gradually expand the lineup in the future.
Demand for a safer, more secure driving experience is bringing revolutionary change to the automotive market, with rising demand for smart cars, electric vehicles, ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems), and AD (Autonomous Driving). Essential to these systems are automotive devices such as Mobility Computers, IVI2, and LiDAR, which require connectors that can support high-volume, high-speed data transmission without latency.
Kyocera’s new 5652 Series connectors comply with USB 3.1 Gen.2 standards for high-speed data transmission, as well as other standards, including PCIe Gen.1 through Gen.4, MIPI D/C-PHY, SATA 3.0, and USB 3.1 Gen.1.
These connectors are available in a wide range of stacking heights, from 14 to 30mm, enabling more design options. They can withstand the extreme operating temperatures of up to 125°C required of in-vehicle equipment. Kyocera will continue to expand its product lineup and is currently developing other floating board-to-board connectors and high-pin-count (300+) connectors for high-speed data transmission with stacking heights 5.0mm.
Features
- Complies with high-speed transmission standards such as PCIe Gen.4 (16 GT/s) and USB 3.1 Gen.2: The floating board-to-board connector complies with SATA 3.0, PCIe Gen.1 2.5 GT/s through Gen.4 16 GT/s high-speed transmission standard (16 GT/s) and is the industry’s first*3 to comply with USB 3.1 Gen. 2. The target characteristic impedance ranges from 85Ω to 100Ω, making it possible to meet various high-speed transmission standards.
- Floating tolerance ±0.85mm: Kyocera’s new 5652 Series clicks during stacking to ensure proper mating, with high retention force to resist detaching. The 5652 Series is a floating connector with a 0.5mm pitch that can move ±0.85mm in the X and Y directions to absorb positional and mounting misalignment within the housing. The connector reduces the stress generated during use for long-term reliability and maximises both electrical and mechanical characteristics.
- Power terminal options: A dedicated power supply terminal can be assigned separately from the signal terminal according to the desired rated current.
- Board-to-board mounting height allowance ±0.75mm: Generally, the effective fitting length of a connector contact changes depending on the variation of distance between boards due to accumulated tolerances, which can affect data transmission characteristics. However, Kyocera’s 5652 Series can cope with a maximum ±0.75mm height tolerance between boards while still providing high-speed data transmission.
- Manufactured in a factory compliant with IATF 16949 for automotive applications at high temperatures: These highly heat-resistant products with operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to + 125°C are suitable for installation in automotive equipment such as ADAS and infotainment systems. They are also IATF 16949 compliant.
- RoHS compliant and halogen-free
