| 25 | Molex can anticipate the needs of automakers, and proactively develops products to solve their needs. For example, Molex's expertise in terminal design and contact physics positions them as a leader in developing 0.5mm terminal systems. Molex has developed both types of terminal systems with CTX50 and TAK50 terminals, affording customers solutions that support a wide variety of environmental operating conditions, mate force requirements, and customer preferences. The use of the Mini50 Connector System delivers significant space savings over the traditional USCAR 0.64mm connectors while eliminating mating and assembly errors and offers protection from water and dust with Mini50 Sealed. Additionally, the Mini50 Connector System is selected as the industry's USCAR 0.50mm unsealed interface. These solutions power essential connected vehicle components such as mirrors and cameras, sensors, power steering and braking, and more. The Mini50 Connector System is also used in commercial vehicle applications. Ruggedization of components is critical in commercial and agricultural vehicles, and the Mini50 line of connectors is designed to withstand harsh environments common in the commercial sector. And as more commercial vehicles are being built to run on electricity, Molex's connectors will enable the integration of clean, secure electrical systems. In addition to miniaturization in both consumer and commercial vehicles, there is still the need for various other connectors and terminal types throughout the vehicle. Molex also has a wide variety of standard offerings that solve customer challenges every day. Products such as MX150, Stac64, MX64, DuraClik, CMC, and Mizu-P25 connectors are longstanding standards released at multiple global OEMs and used in vehicles all over the world. Molex Product Spotlight stAK50h Unsealed Connectors and Headers s Many technologies, regulations and infrastructure changes need to be adopted for connected vehicles to realize their full potential, and Molex is one of the industry's leaders when it comes to designing vehicles to be future-ready from the inside out. Molex is working alongside auto manufacturers to develop cutting-edge, microminiature solutions that will enable connected vehicles to reach their full potential and, eventually, pave the way for a fully automated future.
