Hirose's Micro-Mobility Connectors

Driving Micro-Mobility Forward

As micro-mobility systems—such as e-bikes, e-scooters, delivery bots, and compact EVs—become more sophisticated, engineers face mounting challenges around space constraints, vibration resistance, waterproofing, and power efficiency. Hirose’s micro-mobility connector portfolio, which spans high-power board-to-board connectors (like the BH12 series up to 20 A) and ultra-low-profile signal and hybrid connectors (such as the DF22, BM25, FH62, and C.FL series), directly addresses these design challenges with miniaturized, high-reliability interconnects built for harsh outdoor and high-vibration environments.

Solving Design Challenges

Hirose’s connectors are engineered to maintain stable electrical performance under vibration, shock, and temperature fluctuation. Their compact, lightweight housings support high power and data transmission in space-limited enclosures, while secure locking mechanisms prevent disconnection due to movement or shock. Many series, including the DF62WP and DF63W, feature IP-rated sealing for protection against dust and water intrusion, ensuring long-term durability in outdoor use.

The DF22 series, with its secure 4-point contact structure, and the DF51K series, with its positive lock, are prime examples of our commitment to safety. Their meticulous design provides constant, fail-safe communication, ensuring critical systems function seamlessly for user safety.

The longevitiy and robustness of the BH12 series makes this an ideal connector for micro-mobility applications by offering high current capacity in a compact, waterproof shell suitable for challenging outdoor environments. This series features a design that prevents lock damage, ensuring prolonged product lifespan and integrity of connections under rigorous conditions.

Lastly, Hirose connectors, such as those in our .FL Series, support critical IoT features like real-time tracking and intelligent locking systems, which operate behind the scenes to enhance your vehicle's security. The C.FL series connector, with its compact design and clear, tactile lock, offers an exceptional solution for IoT applications. These connectors not only enhance security against theft, tampering, and vandalism but also facilitate key features such as alerts for suspicious activity and, in certain cases, remote disablement of the vehicle.
