HIROSE

Precision connectors for electronics, industry and data transmission

About the manufacturer

Hirose Electric is a Japanese manufacturer of interconnect systems represented in Europe, among others, by Hirose Electric Europe B.V. The company designs miniature connectors for electronic devices as well as rugged interfaces for automation, automotive equipment and telecom infrastructure. Its range connects printed circuit boards, cables, flexible FPC/FFC circuits and external equipment.

The portfolio includes board-to-board, wire-to-board, RF coaxial, FPC/FFC, USB and high-speed connectors. Series such as DF and FH emphasize fine pitch, compact footprints and repeatable mating performance. Separate product families address higher currents and sealed installations. The right connector architecture depends on electrical requirements as much as on mechanical packaging.

Connector selection must cover the complete mating system and wire-termination method, not only the number of contacts. Pitch, orientation, stacking height, retention, mating durability, current per contact and EMC conditions all matter. High-speed interfaces introduce additional requirements for signal integrity and shielding.
