MORE CONNECTIONS IN LESS SPACE

Unlock New Features with Next-gen 8-Pole Micro Connector Platform

Designed for compact hearing aid systems where multiple signals, power and data can be integrated in an intelligent way, using well known technologies

We help you design and integrate compact hearing aid connectivity using a modular 8-pole connector architecture.

estron’s modular approach simplifies multi-signal integration across system interfaces in compact designs – enabling flexible and scalable functional expansion.

Modular connector platform

Built to support feature expansion within a single, integration-ready platform – enabling use across product tiers and device variants.

IP68-proof interface

Engineered for tight connector solutions under sweat and moisture exposure, ensuring stable performance in real-world conditions.

Shield and antenna-ready

Extends platform capability with estron-engineered connector options supporting shielding and integrated RF solutions.

 

Wear-resistant and reliable

Designed for long-term durability under repeated handling and daily use, with stable contact performance over time.

Compact multi-signal integration

Supports up to 9 connections in a minimal footprint, enabling separation of signal paths within compact designs.

Production-ready interface

Engineered for consistent assembly and stable production yield, supporting scalable manufacturing.

Features for 8-pole micro connector platform

Designed for performance and production stability

Flexible Seal Design
Ensures dependable IP68 sealing, even under demanding operating conditions. The soft, integrated seal adapts to movement to maintain a secure moisture barrier, while reducing strain on the connector to support long-term durability.

Plug ready for PCBA
Expands functionality by adding components directly in the plug.

Socket ready for SMD mounting
Supports consistent assembly and stable production yield in high-volume manufacturing.

Enables 8+ connections
Supports up to 8 signal connections plus an additional shield or antenna contact.

From connector platform to real applications

Enable Bluetooth antenna integration and shielded signal routing within the same connector platform.

The platform supports an optional 9th contact for shield or Bluetooth antenna integration – enabling new functionality without increasing connector complexity.

Based on estron’s es-Linum® technology, multiple cable configurations are supported to match signal, RF, and integration requirements.

Choose between:

  • es-Linum® Multi-signal routing in ultra-compact form
  • es-Linum® Shielded EMI-protected signal routing for improved signal integrity
  • es-Linum® Bluetooth Antenna Integrated RF connectivity within the cable
8-pole micro connector platform goes with shielded and antenna
