Features and Benefits

Miniaturization trends require manufacturers to fit more functionality into smaller spaces, demanding downsized PCBs and electronic components. The need for smaller electrical interconnects must be balanced with the need for exceptional reliability to ensure disruption-free performance, while manufacturability and efficiency in assembly must be maintained to ensure cost-effectiveness.

The Zero-Hachi Connector provides leading-edge space savings crucial for modern electronic designs. With a compact footprint, Zero-Hachi Connectors ensure vertical space savings and support the design of slimmer end products such as tablet PCs, wearables and AR/VR devices. The dual-point contact design helps deliver robust and dependable electrical connectivity in challenging environments. The easy-to-grip connector housing design simplifies assembly operations, ensuring efficient and accurate mating that accelerates manufacturing processes and improves overall system reliability.

40% Smaller Footprint Delivers Leading-Edge Space Savings

The Zero-Hachi Connector footprint is 40% smaller than other 1.00mm-pitch wire-to-board products, delivering leading-edge space savings. A reduced profile height of 1.60mm offers vertical space savings that enables more electronic components to be mounted on the PCB to fit slimmer device form factors. Portable device makers are no longer limited by bulky designs by utilizing this unique miniature connector solution.

What are Zero-Hachi Connectors?

Zero-Hachi 0.80mm-pitch connectors are miniaturized wire-to-board connectors with a low-profile height and an extensive range of circuit sizes. These connectors address concerns about shrinking electronic device space across a range of industries, especially in wearables and consumer markets.

Are Zero-Hachi Connectors low-halogen-and PFAS-free?

Yes, Zero-Hachi Connectors are low-halogen and PFAS-free.

Do Zero-Hachi Connectors have SMT capability?

Yes, these SMT connectors enable direct mounting onto the PCB surface without through-hole leads, maintaining a low-profile design that is useful for space-constrained devices.

How do I ensure proper assembly of the crimp terminals?

The U-shaped crimp terminal design guides proper insertion into the connector housing, which helps avoid misalignment and connection errors for reliable assembly.

Are Zero-Hachi Connectors compatible with automated SMT processes?

Yes, Zero-Hachi right-angle connectors provide pick-and-place space on the top of SMT connectors so that the operator can pick up the connector via suction and place it on the designated area via an automation process. Zero-Hachi vertical connectors also provide cover tape on the top of SMT connectors to secure the space for pick-and- place purposes.
