The single row, wire-to-board MiniBridge™ Koshiri connector features a compact, scalable design with a fine 1.27 mm pitch. This, combined with a highly reliable active latch that ensures proper and secure mating, makes the MiniBridge™ Koshiri connector system ideally suited for space-saving connections between PCBs and decentralized function units, particularly important in the automotive market.
Offering design flexibility, MiniBridge™ Koshiri variants are available with 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 pins, and have a high current-carrying capacity extending up to 4 amps per contact depending on the cable plant employed. The male connectors feature SMT termination, while the female parts offer IDC terminations, accepting either ribbon or discrete wire cable. Single-wire stranded cables ranging from AWG 22 to AWG 26 can also be used. For these LED lighting applications, a white version is available to eliminate shadowing effects that can be caused by the connector system.
Pricing typically starts at $0.70 in volume with a lead time of 10-12 weeks.
