FX31-Series: Floating Connector for High-Power Applications
Vibration-Resistant Design by HIROSE
HIROSE Electric has developed the world’s first board-to-board connector that combines high current capacity with a rugged, vibration-resistant design. The FX31 Series features a floating structure that absorbs vibration and shock while simultaneously transmitting high currents of up to 25A per contact.
Next-Generation Connectors for High-Current Applications
The connector series opens up new possibilities for high-current applications, such as those required in electric and hybrid vehicle drive systems. With the FX31, busbars with screw connections can be easily and efficiently replaced. Replacing conventional busbars with a connector-based solution, reduces the size and weight, while also supporting assembly automation. It also simplifies processes and reduces labor costs by eliminating the need for screw fastening, enabling seamless integration into automated assembly lines, including robotic systems.
Compact Design Supporting Automated Production and Cost Reduction
In addition to passing rigorous vibration tests, the FX31 supports the miniaturization, weight reduction, and streamlined assembly of next-generation devices. When used with the FX26 Series for signal transmission, the FX31 supports hybrid power and signal connections in a compact design. The benefits of this include high-density mounting, reduced overall size, and significant cost savings. Here you can find more information about CODICO’s portfolio of BOARD & WIRE CONNECTORS.
Unique Features of the FX31 Series
- Floating Design: The proprietary floating design absorbs vibration and shock while safely delivering a high current of up to 25A per contact. Depending on the ambient temperature and the width of the PCB trace, the connector can support up to approximately 40A per contact in a two-position configuration.
- Vibration Resistance: It is designed to absorb board movement in the Z direction when the device is subjected to vibrations.
- Heat Resistance up to 125°C: A specialized contact design supports the use in high-temperature environments. The four-point contact structure enhances reliability even further.
- Floating Range: X and Y Directions: ±0.5mm; Z Direction: ±1.5mm;
Why Does the HIROSE FX31 Series Excel in High-Current Applications?
The FX31 Series combines high current capacity with a floating, vibration-resistant design that compensates movement in all directions. It enables compact, automated, and reliable high-power connections – perfect for electric vehicles, industrial equipment, and advanced drive systems.
