Automated processing of components is steadily increasing. HARTING is keeping up with this trend with the M12 SMT, which can be seated on the circuit board using pick-and-place – automated and fast.
The automated assembly of printed circuit boards is expanding to include ever more components. While formerly limited to just a few parts, today virtually all the components of a circuit board can be loaded using pick-and-place. These are then all heated in a soldering furnace and soldered. This eliminates the need for separate wave soldering and consequently saves costs.
HARTING’s M12 SMT will be available in codes A, D and X in male and female versions. This move will bring both power and Ethernet up to 10 Gbit/s to the PCB from new miniaturized switches.
The distinct advantages of this are the automated, rapid and more cost-effective placement of the connection, since dispensing with through-hole contacts means it can now also be equipped on both sides. The result is a miniaturised solution that is faster and less expensive to produce.
