NEW PRODUCT
INTRODUCTION
From
HIROSE ELECTRIC
USA
One of the newest products in the industrial power connector line-up from Hirose Electric is the
EM30MSD Series. This connector is a manual service disconnect, which works to physically
interrupt the circuit and protect operators from high voltage shock accidents. This series provides
up to 200A capacity in a compact package. The EM30MSD is designed for use in high-voltage
applications in which the current flow must be turned off and on for maintenance, repair, etc. It
is equipped with multiple contact points that produce high contact reliability and improved
performance under shock and vibration.
This series features a safety design with IP2X finger protection, and the signal contacts are configured
with an interlocking switch to detect mated status. The EM30MSD series is IP68 water-resistant,
RoHS-compliant, and is UL, C-UL, and TÜV pending.
The current rating is up to 200 Amps, voltage rating is 1500V AC/DC (power contact), with an operating
tempature of -40° C to + 105° C, and it handles up to 50 mating cycles. The EM30MSD Series
connector is suitable for use in applications such as high-power battery storage, uninterrupted power
supplies, and heavy vehicle construction machinery.
A manual service disconnect physically interrupts the electric circuit and protects
operators from high voltage shock accidents.

Developed for industrial applications, the EM12M Series connector offers low contact resistance
achieved through multiple contact points…
HIROSE LAUNCHES HIGH POWER
WIRE-TO-WIRE CONNECTOR SYSTEM THAT SUPPORTS 90 AMPS
SIMI VALLEY, CA — April 8, 2015 — Hirose, a leader in the development of innovative
connector solutions, has designed a new high power wire-to-wire connector system for industrial
and medical applications. The EM12M Series single position, snap-in lock power connector
supports up to 90 Amps using 22mm2 cables. A reliable, multi-point contact design delivers low
contact resistance and high current carrying capacity.
The EM12M Series utilizes mating keys and colored housings to prevent mis-wiring in installations
with multiple wire-to-wire connectors. Providing additional safety measures, the EM12M Series
meets the IEC 60601 finger test to protect field operators from electrical shock.
The EM12M Series features a quick and secure snap-in inertia lock, with an audible click and tactile
snap that indicates complete mating. The high power wire-to-wire connector system simplifies
assembly, as the receptacle accepts a standard crimp terminal on the receptacle for 38mm2, 22mm2
and 14mm2 wire sizes. The receptacle also accepts a BUS bar connection. The plug can be crimpterminated with a standard crimp tool.
“With its circular, multi-contact point design, the EM12M Series high power wire-to-wire
connector system minimizes contact resistance to achieve a very high current capability,” said Rick
van Weezel, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Hirose Electric USA. “The EM12M Series
connector is one of the highest current-rated wire to wire connectors in the Hirose product family.”
Well suited for a variety of high power applications, the EM12M Series connector systems is
currently being used in power controller inverter, robot controller, storage battery, medical
equipment, Base Station Transceiver, and UPS applications.
The EM12M Series has an operating temperature range of -25˚C to + 105˚C, a contact resistance of
0.5m ohms maximum at 1A, and an insulation resistance of 1000M ohms maximum at 500VDC.
The connector has a rated voltage of 600VAC/DC, rated current up to 90A, and a withstanding
voltage rating of 3310VAC.
The EM12M Series is UL and TÜV certified.
