Hirose has introduced the BM25 series of hybrid power and signal FPC-to-Board connectors to provide a high power connectivity solution for miniature applications.
The BM25 range of connectors consists of plugs and receptacles to allow a flat printed circuit (FPC) to board connection, the parallel stack height of the connectors is extremely low-profile at only 0.7mm high in mated condition.
The hybrid design of the connectors features signal contacts rated at 0.3A (amps) and power contacts rated at 10A (amps). This reduces the requirement for separate power and signal connectors saving cost and PCB space.
PCB Space saving
Although the dimensions are compact, performance is not compromised, and the parts are able to offer highly reliable mechanical connection. This is due to the provision of unique four-point contacts and a long effective mating length of 0.14mm for the signal contact. Guide ribs are also incorporated into the housing body, providing for a wide self-alignment range of 0.48mm in the X-direction and 0.46mm in the Y-direction and permitting a smoother mating operation. In addition the robust housing incorporates a metal guide structure to prevent any damage due to incorrect mating and multipoint metal locks are provided to increase retention force and prevent any unintended un-mating due to drop impact or other mechanical shock.
Robust design
Unique metal guide mitigates housing damage due to incorrect mating, failure strength 70N.
Due to its compact size and robust construction the BM25 series is suitable for use in a wide range of applications such as point-of-sale terminals, IoT devices, instrumentation, sensors, remote monitoring equipment, wearable and portable handheld devices.

As embedded systems continue to evolve, designers are increasingly challenged to deliver higher performance, stronger security, and longer battery life within increasingly compact products. Whether developing industrial sensors, smart building controls, healthcare devices, or connected IoT endpoints, selecting the right microcontroller is critical to achieving design goals. The latest STM32U3 microcontroller families from STMicroelectronics have been developed to address these challenges, combining modern processing capability with an energy-conscious architecture.
In today’s fast moving electronics world, robust circuit protection is essential for ensuring long-term reliability and safety. Taiwan Semiconductor’s latest snapback (Super Clamp) TVS technology incorporated into the LTD7S24CAH device marks a significant step forward in protecting sensitive circuits from transient voltage events.
STMicroelectronics have introduced the L6986I device, a high-performance synchronous buck converter that is designed for use in applications that require isolated power conversion.
HARTING has launched the new D-Sub PushPull housings. Designed to improve efficient and process-safe handling, the HARTING D-Sub PushPull transforms a well-known connector family into a simplified solution. The PushPull locking mechanism significantly improves the assembly process and reduces installation and maintenance time by up to 50%.
In the world of connected devices, one truth stands firm: even the smartest technology fails if it can’t survive the environment it’s built for. Rain, dust, vibration, UV—these forces don’t care how elegant your circuitry is. They’re relentless. That’s why CamdenBoss created Node & Hub: a new family of enclosures engineered not just to protect electronics, but to make every installation faster, cleaner, and smarter.
The EZPV Series from Panasonic delivers a highly versatile solution for DC Link and DC Filtering applications, offering a broad capacitance range and multiple operating voltage options.
The HIROSE BM54 series floating board‑to‑board connector is designed to absorb real‑world tolerances without sacrificing density.
