Featuring a coaxial termination system which allows the crimping of the centre and outer conductors in one easy step, a series of automotive antenna connectors has been released by Hirose. Providing precise centre conductor positioning and producing consistent, repeatable cable assemblies, the GT21 series allows the cable assembly to be finished without touching the centre conductor.

Designed to simplify assembly, installation and maintenance of storage batteries, the PS2 series connector has been released by Hirose. Featuring a plug-and-play design, the connector removes the need for on-site cable wiring, which reduces worker exposure to electrical lines. The connector eliminates the need to disconnect and reconnect wires to the battery module, reducing maintenance time.

Employing a pin-in-hole intrusive reflow method, the GT32 Series high-speed connector improves PCB retention force and enables a one-time reflow process with other SMT components. The connector, from Hirose, combines the reflow method with a positive locking structure that prevents partial locking, incomplete engagement and accidental disengagement. These features enable the connector to satisfiy demanding automotive specifications.

A water resistant in-line connector series, designated the DF62W Series, has been introduced by Hirose. The water resistant connector series has a simplified, slim design and smooth contour for connecting inside small spaces. When mated, the IP67 rated series has dimensions of 27.10mm x 10.20mm x 12.00mm.

Capable of conveying transmissions of up to 1 Gbps, the GT17H/HN connectors support not only automotive standards but also USB2.0, IEEE1394, LVDS and GVIF signals. The connectors, offered by Hirose, have an advanced shielding structure for 360° EMI protection and low near-end crosstalk (NEXT). Maximising design flexibility while satisfying stringent automotive requirements, the connectors are available in a wide range of low profile single ro...

Hirose has developed the DF63 connector, a robust wire-to-board connector that combines small size with high-current capacity and high reliability. Featuring a 3.96mm pitch, the DF63 Series connector provides a high current rating of up to 15 amps and is suitable for use with #16 to #18 AWG wire. Current capacity varies with pin count and wire size. This compact DF63 Series connector features up to 30% reduction in occupied board area compared to...

Suitable for space-constrained applications, Hirose has expanded its robust DF62 series slim in-line connector product offering to include two versions with unique plug/socket shapes. The enhanced wire-to-wire connectors feature a pin layout arranged in a 2.2x2.0mm grid pattern creating a smaller diagonal diameter.

Strengthening the company's board-to-board power connector portfolio, Hirose has introduced the flexible and customisable IT-P series. Featuring a 3-piece structure consisting of the mating receptacle, the interposer and the mounting receptacle, the series provides a wide range of variable height interposers to achieve board-to-board stack heights in the range of 13.5-44mm.

The LX series is a 0.5mm pitch ultra-low profile interface connector. Hirose has an established reputation in the industry for quality, reliability and leading-edge technology. Recognising the rapid and challenging technological developments in the dynamic field of electronics, Hirose have introduced smaller yet better performing connectors.
