The KW30 series wire-to-board connectors from Hirose have a robust construction which can withstand the strong vibrations experienced in harsh industrial environments.
These connectors have been tested for tolerance of vibrations at frequencies up to 2,000 Hz. The rib design of the connectors ensures secure mating, while a two-point contact and clipping design on the receptacle, and a box-shaped plug crimp contact which resists catching or deformation, help to ensure excellent contact stability.
The positive locks on the KW30 series prevent incomplete mating, mis-insertion and receptacle damage. When mated correctly, there is a clear tactile click. The connector also offers enhanced signal performance and contact durability thanks to its gold plated contacts.
The KW30 series comes in a compact package featuring a contact pitch of 1 mm as standard, or 2 mm for the two-position version. The connectors are available in straight and right-angle configurations, and accept cables ranging in size from 28 to 32 AWG.
