Features and Benefits

40% smaller footprint delivers leading-edge space savings

The Zero-Hachi Connector footprint is 40% smaller than other Molex 1.00mm pitch wire-to-board products and delivers leading-edge space savings. A reduced profile height of 1.60mm delivers vertical space savings to fit slimmer device form factors. The space savings achieved by this product enables other electronic components to be mounted on the PCB. Portable device makers need not worry about bulky designs with the use of this miniature connector solution.

Dual-point contact design provides contact wipe and electrical reliability during mating

The connector’s dual-point contact design provides the needed contact wipe and electrical reliability during mating. The Zero-Hachi Connector's easy-to-grip design allows assembly operators to handle the mated system with ease. Customers enjoy reduced downtime and disruption when operating products with robust connectivity. Improved operator (assembly) performance ensues with the use of the Zero-Hachi wire-to-board connector system.

Overview

Industries are moving in the direction of downsizing PCBs and components to save space. The Zero-Hachi’s connector footprint is 40% smaller than other Molex 1.00mm pitch wire-to-board products and delivers leading-edge space savings.

Industries require thinner end-product design such as tablet PCs, wearables, and AR/VR apparatus. A reduced profile height of 1.60mm delivers vertical space savings to fit slimmer device form factors.

Customers need to be assured of a high level of electrical reliability to enjoy disruption-free performance when using their electronic devices. The connector’s dual-point contact design provides the needed contact wipe and reliability during mating.

Customers demand high levels of efficiency in their assembly and manufacturing processes including all end-product components being used. The Zero-Hachi’s easy-to-grip design adds to the ease of handling by assembly operators of the mated system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Zero-Hachi connector system compatible for use with market equivalents?
Yes, the Zero-Hachi connector is designed to be a drop-in-replacement for certain competing equivalents and is compatible for use with these. Please contact sales for more information.

How will this miniature connector benefit device makers as well as increase operator efficiency?
Device makers looking to downsizing their products will find the miniature Zero-Hachi connector solution an excellent choice for their connectivity needs. Operators will find the Zero-Hachi connector easy to use, for the following reasons:

  1. The crimp housing has grip handles at the side to make handling easy
  2. U-shaped crimp terminal eliminate the possibility of mis-insertion into the connector housing
  3. A “checking-mark” feature ensures the connector system is fully mated

In what other way is the Zero-Hachi connector superior to competing equivalents?
The Zero-Hachi connector is one of the lowest profile height connector in the market for a 0.80mm pitch wire -to-board interconnect solution. Normally, the smaller the connector, the more fragile it is, but the Zero-Hachi connector has fitting nails that provide the needed mechanical robustness when the connecting wires in the mated assembly are wrenched
