About the manufacturer
Aptiv is a global technology company developing solutions for modern mobility, with a strong focus on vehicle electrical/electronic architecture, safety systems and connectivity. The company originated from Delphi Automotive and today concentrates on technologies supporting vehicle electrification and software-defined vehicle architectures.
Electrical connection systems are one of Aptiv’s major areas of expertise. Its portfolio includes low- and high-voltage connectors, housings, terminals, seals and accessories for carrying signals, data and power throughout a vehicle. The company also develops high-speed data connectors for cameras, radars, lidars and other ADAS sensors.
Aptiv solutions are engineered around automotive requirements for long service life, temperature and vibration resistance, environmental sealing and dependable contact performance. Components are available for conventional 12 V architectures as well as 48 V systems and high-voltage electric-vehicle platforms.
Applications
Aptiv interconnection systems are used throughout the electrical architecture of modern vehicles. Typical applications include:
- wiring harnesses for passenger cars and commercial vehicles
- power and signal connections for ECUs, sensors and actuators
- engine, transmission and powertrain control systems
- lighting, comfort and cabin electronics
- ADAS systems – cameras, radars, lidars and sensors
- hybrid and electric vehicles – low- and high-voltage connections
- agricultural and construction machinery, heavy transport and other harsh-environment vehicles
