Strand wire press–mount connector :
With this connector, #28AWG wires are
press–connected to each pin at the same time.
The cost of producing a cable/connector
assembly with this connector model is much
lower than with connectors designed for
crimping or soldering.
Also, the following connector housing has
been newly developed for use with the i
series.
Connector model (manufacturer) Supplementary description
FI–20–CV7 (Hirose) Low connector housing, more compact than conventional models. The housing
can be fastened to a board–mounted connector by means of a screw lock. It is
intended mainly for connecting the board–mounted connectors used on the main
and option boards of the LCD–mounted type i series (see Section B.3.2). Note that
this connector housing cannot be used for conventional board–mounted
connectors.
Soldering type connector : Details of soldering type connectors and their
housings are summarized below.

Connector model (manufacturer) Supplementary description
PCR–E20FS (Honda) Soldering type connector for general signals. This is suitable for producing cable
assemblies in small quantities, as well as on–site.
FI40–20S (Hirose) Equivalent to Honda PCR–E20FS
FI40B–20S (Hirose)
(formerly, FI40A–20S)
Has the same number of pins as the FI40–20S, but features a wider soldering pitch,
facilitating soldering and enabling the use of thicker wires. Its reinforced pins allow
wires as thick as #17AWG to be soldered to the FI40B–20S (wires no thicker than
#20AWG can be used with the FI40A–20S). Note, however, that a thick wire, such
as #17AWG, should be used with a more robust housing like the FI–20–CV6.
FI40B–2015S (Hirose)
(formerly, FI40–2015S)
Features a wider soldering pitch, attained by using the space provided by thinning
out some pins. Also features tougher pins, compared with its predecessor, the
FI40–2015S. These pins can be soldered to wires as thick as #17AWG, provided
that the cable diameter does not exceed 8.5 mm.
