ZE05 Series High Heat and Vibration Resistant Wire-to-Board Connector

The ZE05 is a miniature low profile and robust connector designed with a pitch of 2 mm, which allows for maximum space savings on the board, reducing the mounting area needed.  
 
ZE05 is available with right angle or straight receptacles to give design flexibility. Both receptacles feature surface mount contacts with metal fittings in DIP solder or surface mount to provide a strong retention force of the connector to the board to ensure high reliability. The plugs use AWG20 - AWG22 size crimp contacts.  
 
The ZE05 series is polarized to ensure the correct insertion of the mating half. Furthermore, the ZE05 series uses tin plating and can withstand temperature ranges up to 125°C. With this heat resistance capability the connector satisfies the needs of severe automotive requirements.   
 
Along with the heat resistance, the ZE05 housing incorporates an integral rib design, which reduces the clearance when mated and helps to prevent vibration resistance to ensure a continuous and reliable connection.  
 
In addition, retainers are available, and as a result, a higher cable pull force of approximately 40 N can be achieved when a retainer is used. A retainer release tool is needed for applications using 20 or 24 contacts.
