Background

・Reducing CO₂ emission is a worldwide environmental challenge, and the development of technology that contributes to such reduction is required.

Current Challenges

・Corresponding to market shift to EV by offering solutions for vehicle vibration, durability and noise.

Proposal from SMK

・Achieving a low loss reef-type single contact that minimizes the impact on connecting parts from vehicle-specific vibration while maintaining stable contact conditions, our connection components are perfect for high-speed communication. We have a wide lineup of smart compact connectors with excellent EMI/EMC.

Background

・As automobile electronization and smart technology continues to advance, vast amounts of wide-ranging data now need to be sent to drivers. HMI improvement is now required to accurately send this extra data to drivers.

Current Challenges

・In line with the diversification of mounted devices that utilize information communication, operating systems required by drivers are becoming more complex.
・Improved operability that lightens the driver’s load.

Proposal from SMK

・We provide input devices that enable intuitive input and have a high affinity to smartphones and tablet PCs.
