Zero-Hachi Connector System

Molex's Zero-Hachi connectors have a fine pitch of 0.8 mm, a low-profile height, and an extensive circuit size range to address the concerns of shrinking electronic device space across industries. The connector’s dual-point contact feature enhances electrical reliability during operation. 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 mm pitch wire-to-board products and delivers leading-edge space savings. Industries require thinner end-product design in products such as tablet PCs, wearables, and AR/VR apparatus. A reduced profile height of 1.6 mm 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.

An extensive array of circuit sizes (2 to 20 circuits) enables the extension of device functionality and features to meet advanced product development needs. By increasing circuit sizes and configuring signal pins to meet product specifications and application requirements, makers of consumer, mobile, connected home, and industrial devices can scale their development investments to meet market trends and needs.
