With the implementation of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and other technologies, automobiles are undergoing a major transformation at a rapid pace. Essentially, they’re becoming computers on wheels, and the various electronic devices installed are increasingly sophisticated and complex.
At the same time, improving fuel/electricity efficiency and safety performance, and reducing the weight of automobiles are major themes in the automotive industry. To meet these market needs, I-PEX is expanding the ISH connector lineup with the new ISH 18 connector.
ISH18 is a 0.5-mm tab-width, wire-to-board connector with high resistance to heat and vibration. It has a narrower 1.8-mm pitch compared to the existing ISH connectors with a 2.0-mm pitch. The unique terminal shape on the ISH18 ensures low insertion forces, even with a high-pin count of 40 pins.
To help reduce the number of system components and weight, multiple harnesses may be consolidated into a single harness while maintaining mating workability. And, the ISH18 withstands 125° C temperatures, as do the other products in the ISH series.
