Car mounted camera

First, let's understand the situation of the on-board camera. With the continuous development of ADAS technology and the advancement of autonomous assisted driving technology, the number of cameras inside and outside the vehicle is also increasing. Let's take a look at the addition of these cameras.

The first is the reverse camera, which is the most familiar one. Later, we added a 360-degree look-around camera, a front-view camera for lane keeping, and, in the future, a traffic signal indication recognition camera with V2X technology. These are the addition of cameras inside and outside the car. In addition, a fatigue monitoring camera is also added to the vehicle, which is located in the cockpit position. With the increase of these cameras, they are arranged in different positions and speeds, so there are different requirements for the camera connector scheme. So, what solutions does TE Connectivity offer? Next, let's take a look at these solutions in detail.

Let's take a look at TE Connectivity's three camera connector solutions: the SMB solution, which is the most familiar one; The second is an all-in-one HD camera connector solution; The third is a split camera connector solution.

Next, let's look at these three solutions in detail. First, let's start with the first SMB scheme that you are most familiar with. As you can see, this is a PCB with the SMB header on it, which can be thought of as the camera module internal connector.

There are two main ways of external connection that it can match: the first one is the fly-over scheme. It can be seen that matching such a harness can have 90 degrees of elbow or 180 degrees of straight head for connection. The result is a solution that connects the wiring harness from the inside of the camera module to the outside.

The other way it matches is with the Adaptor on the back cover. As you can see, unlucky unlucky or add Adaptor to match, the resulting pattern is from the camera module all the way to the back cover to the SMB Adaptor, and finally the complete link is formed through the Fakra harness connection.

After looking at SMB's solution, let's look at the second one, the second one is an all-in-one HD camera connector solution. You can see that there is also an adsorption cover dust cover design. When you take it out, you can see that it is a perforated plate design, which can be used for perforation welding inside the camera module. On the outside, it will go to the back cover to form the Fakra adapted frame head, which will be connected to the subsequent Fakra harness.

It can be seen that this design uses a shrapnel grounding scheme, which is connected to the metal rear shell, thus effectively ensuring the overall EMI performance.

Next, let's look at the second solution, which is a Floating split camera connector solution. The name Floating comes from the fact that the socket on the internal PCB provides 0.5 mm of compensation in x, y, and z directions when matching the plug integrated with the rear shell. Such a design brings great convenience to customers in terms of process manufacturing.

Moreover, we can see that this KJ employs an SMT soldering design. Because the split design is relatively low in normal combining power, it is very suitable for single-board camera connector solutions.

In the following, I will introduce you to three very mature TE Connect headlight camera connector solutions. In addition, we will also provide more cable type, floating type and different interface camera connector solutions, welcome to explore in depth. Ok, that's all for today. Thank you for listening.
