D Strand wire press–mount connector:
With this connector, #28AWG wires are press–connected to each pin
at the same time. The cost of producing a cable/connector assembly
with this connector model is much lower than with connectors
designed for crimping or soldering.
D Solder type connectors
The table below gives further details of solder type connectors and the
housings.
Connector model
(manufacturer)
Description
PCR–E20FS (Honda)
For general signal applications. Suitable for assembly
of a small number of cables or for on–site cable
assembly
FI40–20S (Hirose) Equivalent to the Honda PCR–E20FS
FI40B–20S (Hirose)
(former FI40A–20S)
This connector has as many pins as the FI40–20S and
a wider space between soldering portions. This
results in increased work efficiency in soldering. A
thick wire can be soldered. In comparison with the
conventional FI40A–20S, with which a wire of up to
about #20AWG can be soldered, this connector has
higher pin strength and allows wires of up to about
#17AWG to be soldered. When a thick wire such as
#17AWG is used, it is recommended that a strong
housing such as FI–20–CV6 be used.
FI40B–2015S (Hirose)
(former FI40–2015S)
The number of pins has been thinned out to expand a
space between soldering portions. This connector
has higher pin strength than the conventional
FI40–2015S. If the outside diameter of a cable does
not exceed 8.5 mm, thick wires of up to about #17AWG
can be soldered. This connector cannot be used with
the position coder interface of the i series.
Housing
(manufacturer)
Description
FI–20–CV5 (Hirose)
Plastic housing recommended for the FI40B–20S
Applicable cable outside diameter: 9.2 mm
FI–20–CV6 (Hirose)
Diecast metal housing developed for the FI40B–20S
Applicable cable outside diameter: 10.25 mm
(FI–20–CV6 is a die–cast metal case.)
For the solder type connectors of Hirose Electric and the housings, the
combinations indicated below are possible as well as the combinations
indicated in Table C.2. Use a cable of which outside diameter matches
the limitation of the housing.
