The Hirose Electric ST Series I/O Connectors were developed as external input/output connectors for portable and mobile devices. The connectors assure reliable electrical and mechanical performance under extreme and unpredictable conditions. The Hirose ST Series I/O Connectors feature a solid locking system for strong mating strength, a 4-keying structure to prevent upside down insertion, and a lot of varieties to support various kinds of connections with peripheral equipment.
Hirose ST I/O Interface Connectors are designed for use as Input/Output (I/O) connectors on portable information devices such as DSC, PDA, laptop PCs, cellular phones, and more. The ST Series features a unique structure with high strength that resists deformation and helps to prevent improper mating and a 3.0mm height and 0.5mm contact pitch that prevents EMI. A strong locking mechanism assures continuous reliability of the connection in an unpredictable consumer environment. Mated connectors withstand a pull force of 49N max. applied in any direction.
