Transportation
Zonal architecture is poised to address engine-related space limitations as automakers pack cars with more in-vehicle features to keep up with consumer demands. This means each connector needs to be smaller and lighter without sacrificing reliability. Molex is leading the way with manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers to meet the needs of these digital systems for navigation, safety, comfort and entertainment.
