Connectors PHR-3

Product Description

Product Introduction

The PHR-3 connector is engineered specifically to address the increasing demand for high-density connections of internal wires to printed circuit boards. When handling this component, engineers will immediately notice the smooth, rigid texture of its premium PA66 (Nylon 6/6) housing, a material chosen for its exceptional mechanical strength and electrical insulation properties. This compact unit occupies minimal board space, allowing designers to maximize layout efficiency without compromising structural integrity. By maintaining a low-profile footprint, it resolves common spatial constraints found in modern electronic assemblies, leaving ample room for other critical components on the board. The design focuses on delivering consistent, long-term performance while keeping overall procurement expenses manageable for large production volumes. Every unit is molded with precision, ensuring a clean finish free of burrs or sharp edges, which facilitates a fluid, snag-free mating process during fast-paced assembly line operations. The inherent durability of the nylon housing also resists cracking during the crimping phase, reducing material waste and improving overall yield rates on the factory floor.

Technical Parameters

These precise specifications ensure that the connector integrates dependably into existing wire-to-board architectures. The 2mm pitch is carefully calibrated to balance stringent space-saving requirements with adequate physical clearance for the 2A (AWG#24) rated current, preventing electrical arcing between adjacent pins. Supporting both top entry and side entry installation directions, the component offers versatile routing options for complex harness designs, allowing engineers to dictate wire flow based on enclosure constraints rather than connector limitations. Operating safely at a rated voltage of 100V, this thin type disconnectable crimp style connector provides a dependable electrical pathway that minimizes contact resistance and prevents thermal buildup during continuous operation. The standardized dimensions mean that integration into automated pick-and-place or manual assembly workflows requires minimal retooling, saving valuable setup time.

Characteristic

This connector series is defined by a distinct set of physical and operational characteristics that streamline the manufacturing process and extend the lifecycle of the final assembly.

• Secure Mechanical Engagement: Equipped with a dependable detent lock mechanism, the housing provides a satisfying, audible click upon full insertion. This tactile feedback confirms a secure wire-to-board crimp connection that actively resists disconnection caused by heavy vibrations, thermal cycling, or mechanical shocks.
• Broad Environmental Resilience: Engineered to perform reliably across a wide temperature spectrum, the connector maintains its structural and electrical integrity from -25°C up to 85°C. Furthermore, it carries an MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level) rating, meaning it has an unlimited floor life and is impervious to moisture absorption during storage and handling in demanding industrial climates.
• Comprehensive Compatibility: The housing is meticulously dimensioned to pair perfectly with standard PH series headers, including the B3B and S3B series, as well as SPH series crimp terminals. This exact matching eliminates guesswork, allowing component specifiers and engineers to source all compatible mating components efficiently without extensive compatibility testing.
• Environmental Compliance: Meeting stringent global standards, the materials utilized are fully compliant with RoHS3 and REACH directives. This ensures that the components contain no hazardous heavy metals or restricted substances, aligning perfectly with modern green manufacturing protocols and international export regulations for electronic goods.
• Optimized Supply Chain Delivery: To accommodate massive production runs, these connectors are supplied in standardized, industrial-grade bulk packaging. This bulk format reduces unpacking time on the assembly floor, minimizes packaging waste, and directly supports high-volume wire harness production schedules by keeping feeding stations continuously stocked.

Product Uses

The PHR-3 serves as a critical junction point within the automotive industry, where reliability under constant motion is an absolute necessity. Within vehicular systems, these components are heavily utilized to construct complex harness assemblies that route power and sensitive data signals to various engine sensors, dashboard displays, and internal lighting modules. The secure locking mechanism ensures that even when subjected to the continuous engine vibrations, fluctuating cabin temperatures, and rough road conditions typical of automotive environments, the electrical connection remains completely uninterrupted.

Beyond standard automotive applications, these connectors form the backbone of intricate wire harness assemblies used in industrial automation, robotics, and consumer electronics. The highly compact dimensions allow assembly line workers to route multiple cables through tight chassis enclosures without causing excessive bending strain on the wires. By standardizing on this versatile connector, manufacturers can consolidate their inventory, using the exact same reliable component across multiple product lines ranging from heavy-duty vehicle diagnostic tools to delicate automated control panels. This versatility reduces the number of unique components a facility must manage, simplifying inventory tracking and reducing overhead costs.
