Features

Compact High-Voltage Design with Optimized Creepage Distance

Hirose's proprietary rib design enables higher voltage performance within a compact form factor by optimizing creepage and clearance distances between contacts.

Design Detail

  • Maintains required creepage and clearance distances for 1,000V-rated applications
  • Rib structure increases effective surface distance between contacts without increasing connector size

A housing design specialized for high-voltage performance.
The compact design ensures sufficient creepage and clearance distances between contacts.

Stable Contact Under Vibration

Dual spring and three-point contact design maintain reliable electrical continuity under vibration and dynamic operating conditions. Reduces the risk of electrical discontinuity and improves reliability in high-vibration environments.

Design Detail

  • Dual-spring structure increases contact force and suppresses external vibration
  • Three-point contact ensures stable electrical connection under continuous movement

Increase the contact force and prevents vibration from outside.
