Airbag System
Airbags are passive safety device and is considered an occupant restraint system. Upon impact with a surface or rapid sudden deceleration, the airbag is triggered to inflate instantly and consequently quickly deflate to protect the vehicle’s occupants. This provides an energy-absorbing surface between them and the rigid interior of the car.
There are different types of airbags— front, curtain, torso, and even knee airbags. Regardless of location and type, being a critical element in vehicle safety, quality and reliability of airbag systems are of utmost importance. Our airbag system solutions provide top-tier automotive customers with the reassurance that these systems will deliver what they need to, when they need to.

Press-Fit
Interplex’s Press-Fit technology establishes solderless electro-mechanical connections with plated-through holes on printed circuit boards. These repeatable and reliable connection joints perform well even in harsh environments, and can manifest in a myriad of forms such as connector headers and customized overmolded electronic enclosures.
Extending across a multitude of industries, possible end applications include power distribution, actuator controls, automotive body control modules, solar panels, watches, passenger comfort and infotainment switches, airbag ECU safety solutions, and much more.
Interplex offers a wide spectrum of options: Choose from different materials, plating options, and even designs. From the low force eye-of-the-needle available in various sizes, to the hybrid MiniPLX perfect for high density signal and power applications, and even customizable options for dual-ended/SMT/IDC integrated Press-Fits.
