Hirose has announced the development of a family of small, high-power connectors for use in industrial power supply and other power-demanding applications such as servers, medical devices and home electronics.
Hirose Electric PS3F hybrid low-profile, front-access connectors allow mating and un-mating of power and signal cables from the plug-in side.
The low insertion / withdrawal force Hirose Electric MRF14 Series non-magnetic high-durability connectors in coaxial and signal types. The Coaxial type connectors offers exceptional high-frequency characteristics and a small diameter for both plug and jack. The Signal connectors are small and light weight and are available in through-hole soldering or cable types.
The Hirose DF59M Series compact low-profile single-pole connector for applications such as LED lighting. The mated height on the PCB board is 1.2mm which excludes the height of the wire. The horizontal mating connector delivers a tactile snap and auditory click when fully engaged.
New from Hirose is a high-power, single-circuit (position) cable connector supporting 150A for storage battery applications. The PS3C Series is designed with a highly-reliable blade contact that features a clip-like structure and bellows contacts with multiple contact points. This structure lowers contact resistance and enables high current flow.
Hirose has developed FunctionMAX, a versatile board-to-board connector family that features specialized floating alignment capability and/or high-speed transmission. The FunctionMAX board-to-board connector family includes connector series that are available in various configurations including vertical / mezzanine, right angle / riser card and coplanar which are designed to meet the demands of the industrial, medical, communication, and other markets with maximum functionality.
The Hirose Electric HR41A circular waterproof connector. The IP68-rated plastic-shelled connectors are designed to provide advanced reliability and high power use in a wide variety of harsh, outdoor environments. These include LED Lighting (tunnel lighting, street lamps, etc.), harsh-environment lighting such as industrial, construction sites, marine and agriculture, base station transceivers, robotics in wet environments and electronic toll systems
The Hirose HR08D series of waterproof push-on bayonet-lock connectors is made by pushing the plug onto the receptacle and un-mating the connector is achieved by rotating the locking collar anti-clockwise, then pulling the plug and receptacle apart. Mating guide keys are provided at three points to prevent contact damage.
Hirose’s FH33 series SMT 0.5mm contact pitch horizontal-mount FPC/FFC ZIF connectors support FPC/FFC with a standard thickness of 0.3mm, the FPC/FFC SMT ZIF connectors have an increased FPC/FFC retention force, a low profile 1.2mm above board design and a small depth of 2.5mm.
Latest from Hirose is a compression-mounted 2.4mm coaxial connector aimed at applications such as lab equipment, test equipment, characterization boards, and high-speed backplanes for data / computing and network analyzers.
