HIROSE Introduces Composite Branch Adapter for 2mm Pitch, DF51 Series Crimp-Type Wire-to-Board Connector
● Addressing Wiring Challenges in equipment
In densely packed industrial equipment like semiconductor manufacturing machines, conveyors, and assembly equipment, where multiple sensors are required, managing extensive wiring is essential. Traditionally, branch wiring relies on large circuit boards to handle connections, taking up valuable space and adding complexity.
● Enhanced Efficiency with Composite Branch Adapters
To address these challenges, Hirose Electric has launched the composite branch adapter for the DF51 Series, which simplifies wiring by enabling branched power and signal connections in a compact form. This adapter combines a branched contact (power source) with an unbranched contact (signal), allowing a single power line to connect multiple sensors, which reduces both wiring and overall costs. Replacing traditional branch circuit boards with this compact adapter decreases equipment size and cost.
The composite branch adapter features a secure spring-lock mechanism for reliable panel mounting, enhancing ease of installation and removal. Additionally, combining standard and composite branch adapters enables multiple branch connections for further wiring efficiency.
● Future Product Development
The "DF51" series composite branch adapter will be available in the following variations:
- Under Mass Production: 4Port (10pos.×1PORT+4pos.×4PORT)
- Planned for Development: 6Port (10pos.×1PORT+4pos.×6PORT), 8Port (10pos.×1PORT+4pos.×8PORT)
