KM32A – Compact Wire-to-Board Connector Resistant to Heat
HIROSE Connectors for Internal Connections
The KM32A from HIROSE is a compact, automotive-grade wire-to-board connector with a 2.0 mm pitch, specifically designed for reliable internal connections in demanding environments. It offers heat resistance up to 125°C, high vibration resistance, and is rated for currents of up to 5A.
Download DatasheetTested for Extreme Environmental Conditions
The KM32A series has successfully passed extensive automotive qualification tests, including a thermal shock test from −40°C to +125°C over 1,000 cycles and a combined vibration and environmental test from 10 to 1,000Hz at 3.1Grms. Thanks to its specially engineered contact structure, the connector ensures stable and reliable electrical performance even under driving vibrations.
Secure Design and Standards Compliance
Designed for AWG 20–22 cables, the 0.5-type connector is ideal for applications with limited installation space. The safety design with center lock prevents incomplete mating, mis-insertion and lock damage. Its special design limits lock movement range and prevents cable snaring and lock damage.
The connector design meets the requirements of the GMW3191 automotive standard for low-voltage connectors as well as the ADM-F-0006 vibration standard, ensuring long-term mechanical and electrical durability under real-world vehicle conditions.
Applications
- Infotainment Systems (navigation, HUD, IVI, audio, displays, switches)
- Automotive Lighting/Lights (headlights, daylights, fog lights, rear combination lights)
- Battery Management Systems
- Industrial & Instrumentation
- Advanced Driving Systems (e.g., sensors, cameras, and their supporting systems)
Unique Contact Structure for Maximum Vibration Resistance
A single, precisely acting contact spring provides consistently high contact force. This results in excellent vibration resistance and a pull-out and leverage strength of up to 75N. CODICO has a very extensive portfolio of Board & Wire Connectors that enables the best possible solution to be made for every application.
Which Connector is Suitable for High Temperatures, Vibration, and Limited Installation Space?
The HIROSE KM32A is ideal for compact automotive electronics where a stable connection is required under continuous mechanical and thermal stress. Benefits of the KM32A are a space-saving design for high-density assemblies, a secure locking mechanism for reliable installations, a stable contact performance under vibration and load as well as suitability for internal connections in control units, sensors, and actuators.
