FAQs

What should engineers consider when selecting connectors for agricultural equipment? +
Connector selection should reflect both the interface requirements and where the connection is used. Power, sensor, camera, communication, RF, control, and display interfaces each have different electrical and mechanical needs. Environmental exposure, vibration, moisture, dust, temperature, available space, shielding, and retention requirements should also be considered.
Where are connectors used in an autonomous agricultural vehicle? +
An autonomous tractor is a connected system, not a single control unit. Connectors link the autonomous control ECU to positioning sensors, perception sensors, vehicle networks, displays, telematics, and the vehicle controller. Those connections support steering, braking, hydraulic functions, and implements such as seeders, sprayers, planters, and harvesters.
What connector requirements are important for RTK-GNSS, IMU, and wheel encoder systems? +
RTK-GNSS, IMU, and wheel encoders are part of the position-sensor layer in an autonomous tractor system. Depending on the interface, connector requirements can include sealed or waterproof construction, shielded network connections, USB Type-C® connectivity, or RF connectivity. The appropriate option depends on the required power, data, signal, and environmental performance.
What connector requirements are important for agricultural cameras, LiDAR, radar, and vehicle networks? +
Cameras, LiDAR, radar, Ethernet, and CAN/CAN-FD networks help agricultural equipment share information between perception sensors, vehicle controls, displays, and telematics systems. The connector choice should match the required data rate, shielding and EMI needs, available space, cable or board architecture, and level of environmental exposure.
How do Hirose connector options map to different agricultural interfaces? +
Hirose offers different connector approaches for different parts of an agricultural machine. LF, HR30, DF62W, and DF63W provide options for rugged or field-facing connections. GT50 and DF58 support compact internal electronics, while CX supports USB Type-C® interfaces. SMA, U.FL, X.FL, and MS-156C provide RF connectivity options for GNSS, wireless, and related system requirements. Final selection depends on the specific interface and operating conditions.
