Combing high-heat resistance with high-vibration resistance, the ZG05HV Series WTB connector is ideal for harsh environment applications…
Hirose has expanded its high-voltage wire-to-board (WTB) connector offering to include a high-heat resistant version with a space-saving design. The ZG05HV Series WTB connector supports applications up to 125 degree C, making it ideal for automotive applications including battery, converter, ECU, inverter and on-board charging connectivity. The ZG05HV Series connector is also commonly used in storage battery applications.
The ZG05HV Series features a specialized housing delivers sufficient creepage and spatial distance between contacts, enabling a high-rated voltage (1,000V) and withstanding voltage (3,000V) in a compact size. With a pitch of 3.3 mm, the size 0.5mm tab-sized connector combines space-savings and high performance without compromising reliability.
A 3-point contact design (one spring and two embossed contact points) combined with a double layered spring increases the contact force and prevents vibration from outside, enhancing reliability in high vibration conditions. In addition, the depth of the contacts within the housing eliminates the risk of electric shock during assembly.
“The ZG05HV Series is designed for high-voltage applications that experience extreme vibration,” said Pete Lais, Assistant Vice President of Product Management for Hirose Electric Americas. “The new wire-to-board connector meets customer demand for a high-heat and -vibration-resistant connector that supports high-voltage applications – all in a smaller form factor.”
A mating key prevents mis-mating when using multiple connectors.
The ZG05HV Series is currently available in a 6-position version, with a 10-position connector under development.
