1. Ensures Reliable Sensor Data Transmission Applications: Engine sensors (coolant temp, oil pressure, knock sensors) Emission sensors (O2, NOx, particulate sensors) ADAS sensors (radar, LiDAR, camera modules) Function: Prevents moisture, dust, and chemical corrosion from disrupting sensor signals. Maintains signal integrity for precise engine control and safety systems. 2. Protects Against Harsh Automotive Environments Challenges: Water splashes (wheel wells, underbody) Extreme temperatures (-40°C to +125°C) Vibration (engine bay, chassis) Solutions: IP67/IP69K-rated sealing (high-pressure wash resistance). Thermoplastic/PA66 housings for heat and chemical resistance. 3. Supports Safety-Critical Systems Applications: Brake system sensors (ABS, wheel speed sensors) Airbag impact sensors Battery management systems (BMS) in EVs Function: Ensures fail-safe operation of life-critical systems. Prevents short circuits in high-voltage EV components. 4. Enables Smart & Connected Vehicle Features Applications: Autonomous driving sensors (ultrasonic, camera connectors) V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication Function: Waterproof FAKRA/MATEnet connectors for high-speed data.
