Features of the IARPB® (Vertical Type)
The IARPB® series is a board-in connector that exhibits high-vibration resistance due to the positioning boss on the housing. The housing structure, which offers excellent visibility of mounted terminals, enhances the efficiency in solder mounting process. Additionally, tin-plating the entire perimeter of the terminals shows stable solderability.
Recently, headlamps are equipped with other functions such as ADB* and are expected to save space. In addition to the features of the IARPB® series, the IARPB® (Vertical Type) improves space efficiency and flexibility in circuit board design by routing the wire harness vertically on the board, and contributes to further weight reduction and downsizing of customer products.
