Connectors for Connecting In-vehicle LED Lamp Modules (Photo: Business Wire)One of these is a “Board to FPC Connector”, the first of its kind in the industry *1 that is suitable for cable connection to daytime running lights (DRLs), which are kept switched on during the daytime, and in rear lamps.
The other is a “Board to Wire Connector”, the lowest-profile connector in the industry *2 that is suitable for LED headlamp modules.

These new products have the following features: |
|||
| [Board to FPC Connector] | |||
| 1. | This connector has a metal terminal connection structure that eliminates the need for FPC contacts for the first time in the industry *1, realizing direct connection between the LED-chip-mounted FPC and the control power board. It requires no relay harness, allowing the use of fewer components and fewer man-hours. | ||
| 2. |
The connector’s double-clip structure ensures its resistance to vibration and temperatures up to 125 degrees Celsius, both extremely desirable properties for headlamps. |
||
| [Board to Wire Connector] | |||
| 1. | This connector has an in-house-developed terminal shape that gives the connector a height of only 3.4 mm, the lowest profile of any connector in the industry *2. This low profile connector exerts a minimal effect on the lighting angle of the LED, enabling smaller and low profile LED lamp modules to be easily manufactured. | ||
| 2. |
The connector’s unique LED headlamp terminal structure gives it vital vibration resistance as well as heat resistance up to 125 degrees Celsius. |
||
| *1: | On June 8, 2016, it was developed as a two-piece type board to FPC connector (according to research by Panasonic). | ||
| *2: | On June 8, 2016, it was developed as a connector for in-vehicle LED lamp modules (according to research by Panasonic). | ||
