Application
Automotive Infotainment
TE's technologies are focused on consumer port applications, board-to-board connections, vehicle-to-vehicle communication, and next-generation harness architecture. Our infotainment products provide the next generation of connected vehicles with fast, reliable, and responsive connectivity solutions.
Infotainment links have high-performance requirements for high data rates and time-synchronous data streams on multiple devices. Consequently, appropriate links must be designed for optimal signal integrity properties at high frequencies. Typically, infotainment links are used as point-to-point connections (e.g. display links for high resolution dashboards, control panels or HUDs, and in a ring bus configuration). In the future, open protocols, such as audio-video bridging (AVB), might also enable the implementation of automotive network topologies. They would ensure that multiple data streams are made available in a timely basis across different devices. TE offers connector solutions to support automotive infotainment applications; typical applications and featured TE products include:
Interior Lighting
Interior lighting systems to support human machine interfaces (HMI) in automotive infotainment systems.
Interior Lighting
Through-Hole Resistors
A through-hole resistor is a fixed resistor that has long, pliable leads that can be stuck into a breadboard or hand- or wave-soldered into a printed circuit board. A through-hole resistor is used to reduce the flow of electrical current within a circuit. It’s commonly composed of carbon film, metal film, metal oxide film, thick film, or wirewound.
Interior Lighting
Surface Mount Resistors
A surface mount resistor is a tiny rectangular ceramic body with silver conductive edges on either end. They provide the same functionality as the more traditional axially leaded resistors but has a lower power dissipation capacity and oftentimes a lower stray inductance and capacity.
Interior Lighting
DIP & SIP Switches
A DIP switch is a manual electronic package that is composed of a series of tiny switches. It has a rectangular casing and two parallel rows of connecting terminals. A SIP switch is a computer chip package that has a single row of connection pins.
Interior Lighting
Tactile Switches
Tactile switches provide tactile feedback to the user when the switch or button makes contact with the control panel underneath, which is usually a printed circuit board.
Infotainment Cluster
Infotainment clusters provide a centralized instrumentation dashboard for the vehicle's infotainment functions such as in-car entertainment (ICE) and in-vehicle infotainment (IVI).

Trimmer Resistors
A trimmer resistor is a type of variable resistor or adjustable potentiometer that can adjust, tune, and calibrate circuits. It is meant to never be seen or adjusted by the device’s user.

MATEnet Modular and Scalable Connectors
TE plays a major role in connecting critical electronic vehicle networks that enable transmission of data from sensors and systems. TE’s MATEnet modular and scalable connectors have been able to show a data transmission rate of 100 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s according to IEEE 100BASE-T1/1000BASE-T1. This can be achieved with standard automotive connectors based on TE’s miniaturized NanoMQS termination system in combination with unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable.

Probe Pads
Probe pads are incorporated in circuitry to avoid damage to sensitive tiny electronic circuits in surface mount devices. Probe pads enable safe probing of circuitry when adjusting, setting up, measuring, or repairing tiny electronic circuitry.
Infotainment Cluster
Snap Action Switches
A snap action switch is a mechanical switch that sends a rapid transfer of contacts from one position to another. Also known as micro switches, snap action switches can be momentary or maintained contact and come in subminiature, miniature, and standard styles.
