Low profile heat resistant power connectors

HIROSE Electric has introduced the HVH-280 Series of low profile heat resistant power connectors for automotive applications. The HVH-280 Series are low profile connectors with a three-point high pressure female contact design that enables a high current capacity of 30A.

There are two versions available which are waterproof or non-waterproof. The series is designed with heat resistant materials to withstand severe temperature environments; the non-waterproof version can withstand temperature ranges up to 125 and 120°C for the waterproof version.

With this heat resistance capability the connector satisfies the needs of severe automotive requirements. Along with heat resistance, the HVH-280 Series includes features which allow a reliable insertion of the contact and the provision of strong vibration resistance. The non-waterproof version is equipped with a retainer which ensures that the contacts are correctly assembled into the connector housing.

The waterproof version comes with a CPA (Connector Position Assurance) which makes an accidental unmating of the connector impossible. Only by intentional activating of this CPA with a tool like e.g. a screwdriver, the main locking mechanism will be operational again.

Key features:

  • Contact positions:
    • Non-waterproof: 3
    • Waterproof: 2 Power | 2 Signal
  • Pitch:
    • Waterproof: 9.5mm
    • Non-waterproof: 6.5mm
  • Rated current: 30A
  • Rated voltage: AC|DC 600V
  • Cable size: AWG 12-14
  • Operating temperature: -40°C to 125°C (120°C waterproof version)
  • Mating cycle: 30
  • Finger protection: JIS C 0920 standard (waterproof version only)

Suitable applications are converters, inverters, positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heaters, on-board charger, distribution boards and robot controller units.
