Modular Camera Connection Solutions for Automotive Applications

High-performance coaxial interfaces

Rosenberger’s new connection solutions are based on FAKRA, HFM^® and RMC^® coaxial interfaces, which cover frequency ranges DC up to 12 GHz. These interfaces are ideally suited to demanding automotive camera systems, such as front, rear and surround view cameras. They offer an impedance of 50 Ω and can withstand at least 10 mating cycles. Depending on the technical requirements, variants with or without tolerance compensation are available. Tolerance compensation of up to 0.5 mm in the X, Y, and Z directions, as well as a maximum tilt angle of 1.5°, is possible.

Modular design for maximum flexibility

A key feature of the camera connection solutions is the modular connector system, which allows for straightforward integration into high-density electronic environments. With customer-specific housing variants made of metal or plastic, as well as pigtail configurations, the components can be precisely tailored to individual requirements. Rosenberger also provides design recommendations and optimised SMD footprints for integration on PCBs with varying substrate thicknesses.

Space-saving solutions for interior applications

Rosenberger’s customised “DirectLink” pigtails or wire-to-board solutions are particularly advantageous in driver monitoring systems, which are often installed in tight spaces, such as behind rear-view mirrors or in the headliner. Their compact design enables space-efficient integration without compromising signal quality or electromagnetic compatibility. "Even with complex interior camera systems for analyzing gaze behavior or detecting fatigue, the interfaces can be implemented seamlessly and with high transmission reliability."

Versatile applications and reliable performance

These connection solutions are designed for use in a wide range of vehicle systems, including Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), reversing assistance, camera-based side mirrors, and interior applications. Thanks to their robust design, proven EMC shielding and high level of production automation, they are technologically reliable and cost-effective for series production in the automotive industry.
