The newest product in the line-up of Hirose industrial power product connectors is the PS3F Series
connector. The PS3F is a front-mount version of the PS3 connector that is ideally-suited for installations
in which rear maintenance space is limited or absent. Like the PS3 Series, the PS3F Series offers both
power and signal contacts, and features plug-in, pull-out maintenance. PS3F contacts are installed in a
casing on the front (mating side) of the connector, allowing font-side maintenance. This series features
a floating structure that absorbs any mis-alignment errors during mating in both the X and Y-axis directions.
For the signal lines, the PS3F connector utilizes the highly reliable Hirose GT8E connector. The GT8E
connector is a rugged connector designed for automotive applications, with an excellent track record and
extensive variations and types to fit variety of requirements. The signal contacts can be daisy chained for
battery rack assembles. Other features include a reliable multi-point contact structure and IP2X finger
protection.
This series has a rated current of 100 Amps for power and 1 Amp for signal contacts. Rated voltage is
1000V AC/DC for power and 250 AC/DV for signal contacts. Operating temperature is -40ºC to +105º C,
rated at 100 mating cycles.
Applications for the PS3F Series are battery storage, uninterrupted power supplies, and industrial machinery
with signal line daisy-chain requirements.

HIROSE’S NEW FRONT-ACCESS HYBRID PLUG-IN CONNECTOR
DELIVERS 100 AMPS POWER
SIMI VALLEY, CA — March 24, 2015 — Hirose, a leader in the development of innovative
connector solutions, has enhanced its industrial power connector family with the new PS3F Series: a
low-profile, front access hybrid connector that allows mating / unmating of power and signal cables
from the plug-in side and eliminates the need for on-site cable wiring. Access from the mating side
simplifies cable assembly, installation and maintenance. The PS3F Series is ideal for Battery
Energy Storage Systems (BESS), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and industrial machinery
installed close to walls or other machines with little clearance behind the equipment. Industry
applications include battery energy storage containers, data centers, and server farms.
The hybrid PS3F Series’ power contacts support up to 100 Amps with rated voltage to 1000V
AC/DC. The signal contacts support up to 1 Amp per contact, and interface with two of Hirose’s
GT8E connectors, utilizing one 8 and one 10 position connector (18 signal lines total). The power
contact structure utilizes a highly reliable clip design with bellows contacts. This blade contact
structure features multiple contact points to reduce contact resistance and allow high current
carrying capability. The signal lines can be configured in a daisy chain for a serial connection
system.
“The PS3F connector’s plug-in design eliminates on-site cable wiring, not only reducing installation
and maintenance time, but more importantly reducing worker exposure to electrical lines,” said
Rick van Weezel, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Hirose Electric USA. “The PS3F
Series connector also provides finger protection during assembly that meets IP2X requirements,
further ensuring worker safety.”
The PS3F connector features a slim design achieved by employing a unique blade contact that
supports mounting to a standard 1U rack. The hybrid connector utilizes a floating structure in
which the connector can adjust for misalignment during mating in X and Y directions up to +/2.5mm. This system supports blind mating for a quick and easy plug-in connection.
The PS3F Series is RoHS-compliant, with an operating temperature covering a range of -40°C to
+105°C, a rated power voltage of 1000V AC/DC and rated signal voltage 250V AC/DC. The rated
power contact resistance is 0.3 milli-ohms and rated signal contact resistance is 60 milli-ohms, with
an insulation resistance of 5000 Mega-ohms minimum at 250V DC.
