What is Z-Move structure?
IRISO' "Z-Move structure" is a connector that has Floating structure that Floating the X-axis and Y-axis to move, and also has a structure that allows the Z-axis Floating while the contacts are fixed, making it possible to absorb minute board amplitudes caused by resonance at high vibration frequencies. This prevents a decrease in contact reliability caused by micro-sliding wear.
It meets the standards critical safety application can be installed in vehicles, significantly improving workability and reliability.
Benefits of using Z-Move structure
Various problems can be solved by using Z-Move structure.
- Floating in the Z-axis enables the use of connectors to equipment that is affected by vibration.
- Prevents poor contact due to vibration/load after the set is completed.
- We can make proposals from the initial design stage with our unique vibration simulation service.
- The design that emphasizes high heat resistance enables use in harsh high temperature environments.
- It contributes to automation by absorbing misalignment during Mating due to robot assembly.

10127 series
The "10127 Series" connector is a Board to Board Connector connector (2.0mm pitch, Floating in Z direction) for internal connection developed for drive powertrain applications required for Electric car such as EV/PHV/HV as automobiles become more electrified. It uses IRISO' proprietary Floating structure technology "Z-Move structure" designed for use in severe vibration environments. The Z-axis Floating while the contacts remain fixed, making this connector highly resistant to vibration and shock.
10128 series
0.8mm pitch, Z Floating Floating structure type Stacking connection Board to Board Connector connector for connection in equipment intended for use in harsh vibration environments. Floating 0.5mm X Y direction to 0.5mm Floating in construction. 0.02mm resonance amplitude and 0.5mm effective Mating length in the Z direction. Employs two-point contact for reliable removal of foreign matter even in tough environments. 125°C compatible product for use in high-temperature environments. IRISO Employs the industry's proprietary Floating structure technology, Z-Move structure (Zee Move). This connector has excellent vibration resistance and shock resistance, preventing contact misalignment due to resonance and shock by Floating moving in the Z direction while the contacts remain fixed. The use of a narrower pitch has enabled a space saving compared to the conventional 10120 series (approx. 50% reduction). We will strongly support your design by proposing a fixing method adapted to your equipment through vibration simulation.
