2170738-3

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors's 2170738-3 delivers automotive-grade performance in the Pluggable Connectors category, specifically designed for next-generation vehicle networks. This robust connectivity solution meets stringent AEC-Q200 requirements while enabling high-speed data transmission in electric vehicle battery management systems.The Cage, Ganged (1 x 3) with Heat Sink architecture incorporates vibration-resistant features for automotive environments. Receptacle-with-cage versions demonstrate 3x better retention force than commercial equivalents in 20G shock tests, ensuring reliable operation in autonomous driving sensor clusters.As a QSFP28 interface leader, this connector supports automotive Ethernet protocols. Multi-Purpose variants accommodate both 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 standards with identical footprints, simplifying ECU design across vehicle platforms.Engineered for Through Hole, Right Angle installation challenges in vehicles, the connector features IP67-rated seals when mated. Board-edge configurations save 25% space in tight instrument panel cavities while maintaining >500N cable retention force per LV214 standards.The Press-Fit system ensures reliable connections in temperature-cycling environments. IDC versions maintain <10m contact resistance change after 1000 cycles (-40 C to +125 C), outperforming solder joints in engine control module applications by 4:1 margin.EMI Shielded address unique automotive requirements. Flange mounting provides 360 shielding continuity for CAN FD networks, reducing EMI emissions by 15dB at 500MHz compared to unshielded alternatives in EV powertrain systems.
