How to select 48 V connectors for medium-voltage automotive architectures

Government mandates for lower CO 2 emissions and consumer demand for vehicle electronics have resulted in a transition from 12 V automotive systems to more efficient 48 V architectures. These mid-voltage architectures offer higher power delivery and lighter, lower-cost wiring harnesses.

The problem for designers is ensuring that the connectors meet the demanding electrical, safety, reliability, and physical requirements of 48 V systems while meeting cost and time- to-market constraints. The solution lies in developing an understanding of the
