  Hirose has created an ultra low-profile wire-to-board power connector that enables the continued miniaturisation of consumer and portable electronic devices.

In order to deliver a space-saving, low profile, wire-to-board connectivity solution for miniature applications, Hirose has introduced the DF58 series. The connector range consists of crimp sockets and headers in a single row. The mated height profile is minimised to 1.0mm and the depth to 4.97mm to reduce the space needed on the board.

A rugged I/O connector has been developed by Hirose which boasts a space-saving design that enables a size reduction of industrial modules. The IX Series connector provides a space savings of up to 65% compared to RJ45 solutions, and up to 28% compared to competing snap-in I/O connector offerings.

  A series of connectors from Hirose provides a robust, high power and space-saving connectivity solution for miniature applications. The BM29 range of connectors consists of plugs and receptacles to allow a Flat Printed Circuit (FPC) to board connection.

A floating busbar connector with plug-in mating to simplify assembly, maintenance and expansion has been introduced by Hirose. Supporting up to 300A, the PS4 Series connector has a floating contact alignment that can absorb mounting misalignment of up to 2mm in the XY direction to ease installation in data centres, power distribution units, storage battery systems and uninterrupted power supplies.

  A fully shielded high current connector capable of supporting up to 200A has been developed by Hirose. The waterproof connector is IP68/IPX9K rated, offering resistance to dust, dirt, water, oil and other fluids that could damage the connector. 

  Hirose has introduced the FH53 series, a range of Flat Printed Circuit (FPC) connectors for small portable electronic devices that require high-speed transmission. The connector series offers excellent impedance characteristics, and delivers high-density transmission required to support Embedded DisplayPort ver1.3 and MIPI D-PHY ver1.1 standards.

A joint press conference presenting a miniaturised high-speed connector for robust Ethernet cabling was held by HIROSE Electric and HARTING at electronica on 9th November 2016 in Munich (Hall B2/stand 542). The ix IndustrialTM arose from a collaboration between HIROSE and HARTING. It offers a technological basis for a standard in the area of the familiar RJ45.

A miniature board-to-Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) connector has been developed by Hirose which is designed for battery pack connections in mobile devices. With a space-saving design that includes a 0.35mm pitch, stacking height of only 0.6mm, and depth of 1.5mm, the low-profile BM29 Series is the smallest hybrid board-to-FPC connector on the market. 

  A compact Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) connector that supports USB 3.0, Embedded DisplayPort ver1.3 and MIPI D-PHY ver1.1 standards has been announced by Hirose. The FH58 family of FPC connectors features a back flip style actuator that utilises a dual-sided FPC.

Hirose has announced a mid-mount USB 3.1 Type-C connector featuring a compact footprint and a depth of only 8.5mm. The shorter design creates additional PCB space for optimising antenna design and allows for larger batteries capacity. By comparison, conventional Type-C connectors are significantly longer, up to 9.4mm, which consumes valuable PCB space.

Hirose has developed a hybrid power and signal board-to-board connector that features high-speed transmission capability up to 8Gbps and a highly reliable floating contact mechanism that simplifies assembly. The FX23 Series is designed for a wide range of high-speed applications including medical devices, office imaging equipment, measurement equipment, industrial computer systems, automotive navigation and audio systems, broadcast equipment, bas...

Hirose has relocated its North American headquarters to Downers Grove, IL, a suburb of Chicago. The centrally located headquarters aligns with Hirose's long-term strategy to achieve sustainable growth in the North American market. The Chicago headquarters is home to a customer service and technology support center that strengthens Hirose's capability to meet customers' critical requirements for high-quality interconnect solutions.

Hirose has designed a board-to-board connector with a highly reliable floating contact mechanism and self-alignment structure that simplifies assembly. Providing +/- 0.6mm floating in the X and Y axis directions, the FX20 series absorbs mounting misalignment from multiple stacking connectors as well as PCB shrinkage caused by high temperatures.

Hirose has developed a small, board-to-flexible printed circuit connector designed for battery pack connections in mobile devices. The hybrid BM25 series connector is rated up to 9A per pin for power contacts and 1A per pin for signal contacts.
