Currently, the demand for industrial robots is expanding rapidly.
Robot production contributes to the stabilization of assembly quality, production takt time, and the suppression of labor wage increases, but defects in the process such as foreign matter adhesion, mounting/ Mating misalignment, and incomplete Mating occur. There is also

Therefore, IRISO has launched a new concept of "Automation Connector" based on the technology it has cultivated to date, with the aim of widely promoting connectors that are suitable for robot production.
The "Automation Connector" is comprised of three technologies that IRISO has developed over the years, and will meet a wide range of customer robot production needs.
A reliable design that is compatible with automatic mounting. This is IRISO" Automation Connector."

Three technologies that make up the "Automation Connector"

IRISO is a leading company in Board to Board Connectors.
We are particularly proud of our industry-leading variety Floating Connector, whose mating surfaces Floating when Mating. Floating Connector absorb misalignment on the board, reducing stress on soldering area and preventing soldering cracks. In addition, multiple connectors can be mounted and Mating on the same board. Our wide variety of connectors meets the needs of our customers.

Furthermore, we have also released the "Z-Move structure ™" connector, which not only Floating along the X and Y axes, but also Floating along the Z axis while the contacts remain fixed. It is capable of absorbing minute board amplitudes caused by resonance at high vibration frequencies. This concept meets the standards for critical safety application that can be installed in vehicles, and significantly improves workability and reliability. This is a unique technology concept that IRISO, an industry leader in Floating Connector, is proud of.

Until now, it was thought that robotic assembly of FPC/FFC cards was impossible.
When Mating FPC/FFC connectors, slider cover needs to be locked, so the process typically requires both hands. It can be difficult to tell if the connector is inserted at an angle or if it is not fully Mating. This requires an inspection process to always check that the connector is locked correctly.
IRISO' Auto I-Lock structure FPC/FFC connector automatically locks when the FPC/FFC card is inserted, ensuring a secure Mating. Robot assembly is possible even when using FPC/FFC cards.

"2-Point Contact structure" is a concept that has two contact structures on the same line. Stable contact is guaranteed with the ability to remove foreign matter such as floating matter and scattered flux, and reliable wiping.
In addition, even if one of the terminal contacts gets on the deposit, one terminal of the 2-Point Contact structure is reliably conducted to prevent contact failure.
By adopting a 2-Point Contact structure, contact reliability is improved, which improves yield and contributes to total cost reduction.
