ST series, low profile, 0.5mm pitch interface connectors from Hirose
Hirose has an established reputation in the industry for quality, reliability and utilising leading-edge technology. Recognising the rapid and challenging technological developments in the field of electronics, Hirose have introduced smaller yet better performing connectors.
The ST series is a 0.5mm pitch low profile interface connector series consisting of top or bottom board mount receptacles and plugs that can be cable mounted or board mounted in vertical or right angle orientations. The receptacle has a height profile of only 3mm and the plug has a thickness of only 7mm. Although this is a compact connector the strength is not compromised, the robust locking mechanism can withstand 49N maximum pull force applied in the X/Y direction or 98N maximum pull force in the Z direction when fully mated. Excellent mechanical and electrical performance is assured by 10,000 mating cycles capability.
Other benefits of using the ST series are the multiple polarization keys which stops incorrect insertion of the mating half and prevents damage to the contacts if the insertion is mis-angled or reversed. EMI shielded versions are available with built in ground continuity features to prevent interference.
Ideal applications are digital still cameras, personal digital assistance, measuring equipment, portable readers, EPOS systems and medical device applications.
