B. 20–PIN INTERFACE CONNECTORS AND CABLES

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.
Soldering type connector : Details of soldering type connectors and their
housings are summarized below.
Table B.3 Details of soldering type connectors and housings
D Connectors
Connector model (manufacturer) Supplementary description
PCR–E20FS (Honda) Soldering type connector for general signals. This is suitable for producing
cable assemblies in small quantities, as well as on–site.
FI40–20S (Hirose) Equivalent to Honda PCR–E20FS
FI40B–20S (Hirose)
(formerly, FI40A–20S)
Has the same number of pins as the FI40–20S, but features a wider soldering
pitch, facilitating soldering and enabling the use of thicker wires. Its reinforced
pins allow wires as thick as #17AWG to be soldered to the FI40B–20S (wires no
thicker than #20AWG can be used with the FI40A–20S). Note, however, that a
thick wire, such as #17AWG, should be used with a more robust housing like
the FI–20–CV6.
FI40B–2015S (Hirose)
(formerly, FI40–2015S)
Features a wider soldering pitch, attained by using the space provided by thin-
ning out some pins. Also features tougher pins, compared with its predecessor,
the FI40–2015S. These pins can be soldered to wires as thick as #17AWG,
provided that the cable diameter does not exceed 8.5 mm.
D Housings
Housing model (manufacturer) Supplementary description
FI–20–CV5 (Hirose) Should be used with the FI40B–20S. This is a plastic housing designed for use
with a cable that is 9.2 mm in diameter.
FI–20–CV6 (Hirose) Should be used with the FI40B–20S. This housing, however, can be used with
a thicker cable (such as 10.25 mm) than is possible with the FI–20–CV6. Its
components are die cast.
In addition to the combinations shown in Fig. B.4, Hirose soldering–type
connectors can be combined with the housings listed below. Ensure that
the diameter of the cable used with each housing satisfies the
requirements of that housing.
