18P back panel connector for car audio applications
of mounting area the same as 16P product marketed

We are pleased to announce the development and the commencement of marketing activities for an 18P back panel connector, specifics of which are outlined below.

It has been the market trend in recent years for connectors for car audio equipment to be required to be multi-poled and capable of handling large current, and small, as multi-functionality has proceeded with such equipment. The introduction of this 18P product is our answer to such market requirements, in addition to the 16P product we put on the market some time ago and earned favorable acceptance for.

18 poles out of 18 poles of this new product are for signals and 2 for power. The contrived attachment layout of crimping terminals had made the size of the mounting area of our previous 16P back panel connector sufficient for the addition of 2 signal poles.

The 2 poles for supply power are capable of a 15A current and 16P for signals can handle as many as 3A. Such large-current capability makes this connector a flexible candidate for large current circuits.
