Robust and Reliable – KW30 Connector by HIROSE

KW30 for Demanding Enviroments

The KW30 series from HIROSE is specifically designed for use in harsh environments. Its ribbed design provides high vibration resistance and ensures a secure fit when plugged into the socket. Thanks to the 2-point contact system and the well-engineered clipping design of the socket contact, the KW30 series offers exceptional contact stability.

Durability and Security

The crimp contact of the plug features a durable box shape that effectively prevents damage and deformation. Combined with an optimal mating length of 0.7mm, the KW30 ensures a reliable electrical connection. The connector is designed for wire sizes from 28 to 32 AWG and is available in various versions, including straight and angled configurations. Additionally, the KW30 is UL/C-UL certified. Safety was a key focus in its development: The secure locking mechanism prevents incomplete mating, misalignment, and damage to the latch. A distinct tactile click confirms proper engagement.
