A unique product in the line-up of Hirose’s 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 front-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 a variety of requirements. The signal contacts can be daisy-chained for battery rack assemblies. Other features include a reliable multi-point contact structure, and IP2X finger protection.

This series has a rated current of 100 A for power and 1 A for signal contacts. Rated voltage is 1000 V_AC/DC for power and 250 AC/DC for signal contacts. Operating temperature is -40ºC to +105ºC, rated at 100 mating cycles.
