Compared to conventional connectors, Panasonic Industry’s new R35K connector saves almost 50 % space on the PCB – but thanks to its proven technology it is nonetheless reliable in demanding environments of smartwatches and other wearables.
Space-saving design and extremely tough when it comes to vibrations and other physical effects - to sum up, these would be the key requirements for components in modern wearables such as smartwatches, headphones, hearing aid and portable health care devices.
Wearables doubtlessly are a growth market, so those components combining high functionality and reliability with slim design aesthetics will be extremely valuable for space critical applications.
The new R35K connector is small (height = 0.6 mm, width = 1.3mm), but due to Panasonic's proven TOUGH CONTACT system is reliable too. It is also great when it comes to handling higher loads, impressing with up to 3A at the power connection and 0.3A at the signal terminal.
