Hirose solutions include the BM28 and BM29 Series for compact power and signal connections, FH Series for flexible circuits, CX Series for USB Type-C, and U.FL Series for RF interfaces. Where are connectors used inside wearable devices? + Connectors link batteries, displays, sensors, cameras, antennas, charging interfaces, and control boards. Applications include smartwatches, fitness trackers, smart rings, earbuds, smart glasses, and medical monitoring devices. Connector selection depends on available space, electrical requirements, and mechanical design. How do miniature connectors support smaller wearable designs? + Fine-pitch, low-profile connectors reduce PCB space and connection height, allowing engineers to integrate more functions into compact devices. Hirose's BM28 and BM29 Series offer space-saving hybrid power and signal connections, helping designers manage limited board space. What should engineers consider when selecting connectors for wearables? + Key considerations include connector pitch, mating height, current rating, signal requirements, retention force, and environmental exposure. For battery-powered devices, engineers should also evaluate contact resistance and power losses. The right connector depends on the device's mechanical and electrical requirements. How do connectors address movement and vibration in wearable devices? + Wearable devices experience movement, handling, and repeated mechanical stress. Connectors with secure locking, suitable contact structures, and adequate retention help maintain electrical connections. Designers should evaluate vibration resistance, mating cycles, and FPC retention based on the intended operating conditions. What connector requirements differ between consumer and industrial wearables? + Consumer wearables typically prioritize miniaturization, lightweight construction, and efficient power and signal connections. Industrial wearables may require additional resistance to vibration, moisture, dust, and repeated handling. Connector selection should account for the application's environmental and mechanical requirements. ## RESOURCES   ![Recommended UPS Connectors](https://info.hirose.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ChatGPT%20Image%20Aug%203%2c%202026%2c%2003_09_48%20PM.png?width=120&height=120&name=ChatGPT%20Image%20Aug%203%2c%202026%2c%2003_09_48%20PM.png) #### **Recommended Connectors** Compact Connector Solutions Connector Recommendations [EXPLORE →](https://info.hirose.com/wearables-connectors?hsLang=en) ![ChatGPT Image Aug 7, 2026, 11\_00\_43 AM](https://info.hirose.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ChatGPT%20Image%20Aug%207%2c%202026%2c%2011_00_43%20AM.png?width=120&height=120&name=ChatGPT%20Image%20Aug%207%2c%202026%2c%2011_00_43%20AM.png) #### **Engineering Insight** Industrial Wearables Design View Time: 30 min [WATCH NOW →](https://event.on24.com/eventRegistration/console/apollox/mainEvent?&eventid=5436232&sessionid=1&username=&partnerref=webpg&format=fhvideo1&mobile=&flashsupportedmobiledevice=&helpcenter=&key=661C3824A0BF612D2ACC5905C2E0F7E4&newConsole=true&nxChe=true&newTabCon=true&consoleEarEventConsole=true&consoleEarCloudApi=false&text_language_id=en&playerwidth=748&playerheight=526&eventuserid=851430469&contenttype=A&mediametricsessionid=735692276&mediametricid=7597171&usercd=851430469&mode=launch) ![UPS System Connector Solutions Application Guide](https://info.hirose.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ChatGPT%20Image%20Aug%203%2c%202026%2c%2003_13_48%20PM.png?width=120&height=120&name=ChatGPT%20Image%20Aug%203%2c%202026%2c%2003_13_48%20PM.png) #### **Application Guide** Wearable Design Blueprints PDF Guide [DOWNLOAD →](https://info.hirose.com/wearables-application-solution-guides?hsLang=en) ![Wearables](https://info.hirose.com/hubfs/Wearables.jpg "Wearables") TAILORED SOLUTIONS   ## **Looking for Something Else?**   Work directly with our experts to solve your toughest design challenges—from custom solutions to technical guidance.  [CONTACT US](https://hubs.li/Q029D9bp0) ### **Plugged In** ##### Hirose's Blog for Charging Your Industry Knowledge Get switched on to the latest Hirose insights, trends, and events shaping our industry.
