■Features
IP67 Waterproof
1. Max current of 14A
This compact connector is rated up to 14A in the
2 positions version, using 16 AWG wire.
2. Compact shape designed for wiring
through narrow areas
The design is optimized for wiring inside conduits and
small structures, with a smooth, rounded contour that
reduces the chance of snagging or catching inside the
conduit or other objects.
A plastic housing covers the connector, so no metal is
exposed to the conduit, preventing accidental shorting.

3. IP67 Rated
IP67 water resistant when mated. (Fig.2)
4. Simplified wire insertion
Wire and housing seals are pre-installed to provide
water proofing. A simple insertion of the crimped
contact into the housing completes the assembly.
Contacts and housing are designed to prevent
damaging the seals when inserting the contacts.
5. Positive lock structure
A robust locking structure provides a tactile click when
mating to prevent incomplete mating and disconnection
during wiring.

6. Compatible with a wide variety of cables
Two versions are available with different waterproof
wire seal diameters. This variation helps to support the
use of a wide array of cable sizes.
7. Mis-mating prevention with color and
guide key options
Two housings are available each with different colors and
guide keys. This helps to prevent incorrect mating when
multiple connectors are used on the same design with the
same pin count.

In cases where the application will demand a high level of reliability, such as automotive,
please contact a company representative for further information.

■ Tools
When crimping work is applied to our contacts, the tool designated by Hirose should be used.
Crimping work by using tools other than as designated must not be done because it may result in
contact failure, disconnection of cable, etc.
*The operating instructions manual is available for the crimping machine and the applicator. Be
sure to carefully read the operating instructions manual befor implementing the work.
■ Applicable electric wires
Check that the electric wire to be used is in the range of application.
If you intend to use an electric wire other than the recommended one, ask our sales personnel.
[Precautions]
・Electric wires that are applicable for crimping connectors shall, principally, be the tin-plated stranded soft-copper wire.
・Crimping of electric wires wherein single wires, polyester yarns, etc., exist and crimping of tin-coated wires should be avoided.
・Avoid crimping two electric wires together.
・The setting values of crimp height (Note 1) may vary between tin-plated and gold-plated terminals even if the same electric wires are used.
・The setting values of crimp height (Note 1) may vary depending on the difference in the core wire
configuration even if the computed cross-sectional area is the same.
Note 1 : The crimp height is an important item that determines crimping quality. We execute crimping tests for each electric
wire to ensure the optimal value for the crimp height with high precision, thereby ensuring optimal setup values.
BPrecautions
1. Forcibly removing a connector may damage it. If it is stuck, first push it in slightly and then release the lock to remove.
2. Please use care when connecting a short, thick wire so as not to twist it. If twisted, damage to the contact may occur.
3. Be sure to turn the power off before mating/unmating the connector.
4. To avoid electrical shock, do not touch the powered contacts.
5. Please refer to the following documents.
・Harness Procedure Manual (ETAD-H0814-00) ・Mating unmating Procedure Manual (ETAD-H0926-00) ・User Guide for Wire-to-Board Connector.
BAbout the ratings
Do not use connectors with currents and voltages that exceed their ratings. Do not mate/unmate powered contacts (Note 1)
Note 1 : "Live" contacts refer to the contacts that are in a powered or energized state. Mating or unmating "live" contacts can result in electrical shock and injury.
BAbout operating environments
Please contact us if you wish to use the connectors in an environment with repeated temperature fluctuations.
