Yamaichi Electronics Automotive Connectors

Our key Automotive products consist of the Y-HDE Ethernet, Camera Module, M.2, Floating Board to Board, Battery, FAKRA, and Mini-FAKRA Connectors.

Y-HDE Ethernet Connectors

Yamaichi Electronics’ Y-HDE Series is engineered to support high-speed Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for next generation automotive network systems. Leveraging extensive expertise in high-speed interconnect technology, the Y-HDE Series is designed to accommodate a wide range of Ethernet standards, from 100BASE-T1 to multi-gigabit networks, with transmission capabilities of 10Gbps and beyond. Built for demanding automotive environments, these connectors operate reliably at temperatures up to 105°C and are available in single (1×1), dual (1×2), and quad (2×2) port configurations. Color-coded key jackets ensure a fool-proof, simplified assembly process while maintaining secure and dependable connections

Camera Module Connectors

Yamaichi’s Camera Module Connectors are available in two configurations: the Coaxial Type (HC001 Series) and the Differential Wire-to-Board Type (HC004 Series). Designed for rear, front, and side camera applications, these connectors provide minimized mating tolerance while maintaining a secure connection through a robust lock screw mechanism. Featuring a simplified structure for easy assembly, both series offer IP69K-rated protection for harsh automotive environments. By minimizing the host-side connector body size, Yamaichi delivers one of the most compact camera connector solutions available on the market.

M.2 Connectors

As next-generation autonomous vehicles continue to advance, ADAS and infotainment systems demand faster wireless communication and high-speed data processing capabilities. Yamaichi’s M.2 Series connector (CNU027S-067-2001-VE) was designed, developed, and tested for infotainment systems, industrial and military-grade tablets, and other rugged applications. Originally developed as a custom M.2 module solution, the connector is now part of the CNU027S Series, featuring 67 high-speed signal pins capable of supporting USB 3.1 Gen2 and PCIe Gen4. The connector also includes six power pins (three on each side), supporting up to 2.5A per pin for high-current transmission. A unique U-shaped power pin structure enhances retention force, enabling superior resistance against shock, vibration, and demanding operating conditions.

Board to Board Connectors

The automotive grade floating board to board connector is part of our HF301 Series and is the ideal solution for infotainment signal usage. This connector has a floating structure that offers mating position tolerance. It can absorb high impact vibrations to provide a secure connection. The HF301 Series has the capability to support PCI express 3.0 & and S-ATA Gen 3.0 signals with transmission speeds of upto 8Gbps. This connector contains 100 signal pins and 4 power pin contacts with the power pins rated upto 5A.

Battery Connectors

Yamaichi’s high current battery connectors have a capacity of 20 – 65A per pin. Its robust design has custom guiding pins which makes mating and un-mating a easy. Furthermore, it has a docking interface with a floating structure to accommodate for the mating tolerance. These connectors can mate upto 4,000 times and are the ideal solution for EV or portable battery applications.

FAKRA & Mini-FAKRA Connectors

Our FAKRA and mini-FAKRA connectors are USCAR compliant with varying key codes and mounting orientations. The FAKRA is part of our HF106 series, featuring an external antenna and is the ideal solution for high-speed data transmission. The mini-FAKRA is part of our HFU106P Series & Y-MFC Series and supports both 1×2 and 2×2 configurations.

SD & MicroSD Connectors

In addition to our key connectors, we have designed several Automobile Grade SD & Micro SD card connectors specifically for automobile infotainment systems. These connectors can handle tough operating conditions and constant impact from vehicle movement. Additionally, our FAKRA and mini-FAKRA connectors are USCAR compliant with varying key codes and mounting orientations.
