Hirose has expanded its compact, high-speed I/O connector family with the introduction of the HR22K Series. The robust connector utilizes a unique and user-friendly push-on bayonet lock with audible click that ensures a safe and secure connection. Simply push the plug in to complete mating, then rotate the sleeve to release the lock.
Featuring a metal shell, the waterproof HR22K Series is IPX7 compliant when mated, offering excellent protection against water and oil ingress. This makes it ideal for applications in harsh conditions. The connector also has a spiral-type strain relief design, enhancing cable protection against bending and ensuring excellent durability. This makes the HR22K Series perfect for interface connections in small spaces.
Supporting Cat.5e (1Gbps) high speed transmission, the HR22K Series I/O connector is commonly used in industrial automation and manufacturing applications including CNCs/PLCs, machine tools, robotics, semiconductor manufacturing, and more.
“Designed for harsh environment applications, the HR22K Series push-on bayonet lock connectors offer a unique combination of compact design, robust environmental protection, and user-friendly operation,” said Pete Lais, Assistant Vice President of Product Management for Hirose Electric Americas. “Supporting CAT5e performance, these connectors can handle the high-speed data transmission requirements of Industry 4.0 applications.”
