Product Features:
1. The single-row terminal structure reduces mounting areas and facilitates circuit design.
With further downsizing and higher performance, electronic devices such as wearables and hearables require connectors that are smaller and facilitate circuit design. The issue with current mainstream connectors with a double-row terminal structure is their large board mounting areas due to complex wiring routes. By adopting Panasonic's unique molding and process technologies, the newly developed connectors have achieved a single-row terminal structure, configured to have internal terminals aligned horizontally, enabling wiring from one side. Connector downsizing and simplified wiring routes have reduced mounting areas by approx. 49% compared to Panasonic's conventional products (S35 series) and also facilitated circuit design.
2. Panasonic's unique structure, which is highly resistant to vibrations and impacts, improves device reliability.
Devices worn on the body require high resistance to vibrations and impacts of a fall, etc. The connectors continue to adopt Panasonic's unique Tough Contact structure, which enables the contact part to have adequate spring characteristics through high-precision bending using precision metal processing. The header and socket, which feature a high removal force and high robustness, will not easily be removed or break, improving device reliability.
3. Their support for large currents meets needs fast battery charging.
With a growing number of devices expected to be used for IoT, needs related to the reduction in charging time on the device side are expected to increase in the future. By adopting Panasonic's unique material processing technology, the connectors have achieved large currents despite their small size, with the power terminal supporting up to 3 A and signal terminal 0.3 A, enabling fast battery charging, etc.
