Hi-rel connector extends connection height to 17.15mm
To support the complete breadth of customer applications, Harwin adds another option to its popular Datamate series of high-reliability (Hi-Rel) connectors. Complementing the existing Datamate J-Tek connector range (fitted with jackscrews for secure mounting) with a 7.3mm board-to-board height when mated, the new female connector gives a significantly larger 17.15mm connection height. Providing more space […]
New backshells give EMI/RFI protection to horizontal Gecko connectors
Harwin has introduced horizontal backshells for its Gecko-Screw-Lok (Gecko-SL) series of lightweight, high-reliability (Hi-Rel) connectors. These backshells ensure a fully EMI/RFI shielded connection for horizontal 1.25-mm pitch board-to-cable connections. Previously Gecko EMI/RFI shielding was only available on vertical board-to-cable orientations. This new development will be of real value to applications requiring EMI/RFI protection, but where […]
Harwin broadens scope of its SMT PCB socket offering
Expanding its portfolio of board sockets, Harwin has introduced additional sizes for the popular Sycamore Contact range. These 6A current rated surface-mount PCB sockets allow engineers to accommodate different designs, placing individual sockets freely on a board without the constraint of connector housings. Two additions complement the existing 3.8 7mm length sockets, which accept 0.8-1.3mm […]
Tiny, 0.8 mm-pitch board-to-board connectors target high-density industrial systems
Harwin announces the Archer .8 series. With a 5mm stack height, these dual-row 0.8mm-pitch board-to-board connectors are intended for uses where there is very limited available space and cost-effectiveness is equally important. These include factory automation and environmental monitoring equipment, smart meters, point-of-sales units, servers/data center hardware, and battery management systems in electric vehicles. The […]
Hi-Rel cable connectors available with rear panel mount options
To provide customers with greater choice and increase design flexibility, Harwin now offers rear panel mount cable connectors for both its 2mm-pitch Datamate and 1.25mm-pitch Gecko high-reliability (Hi-Rel) series. These will complement the company’s existing front panel mount solutions, broadening the scope of how connector housings are attached to an enclosure or panel. The clear […]
Multi-directional spring contacts offer board flexibility when needed
Always providing highly inventive engineering solutions, Harwin has now expanded its range of spring contacts with the addition of two further versions. These new surface mount components are capable of supporting both horizontal and vertical connection orientations, but come in smaller size formats than were previously available. The S1961-46R has a 3.55 mm height, while […]
Horizontal backshells expand Harwin’s high-reliability shielding options
To provide comprehensive EMI/RFI protection across both horizontal and vertical planes, Harwin has made further additions to its metal backshell shielding options. The company now offers backshells for its horizontal Datamate J-Tek connectors which will address increasingly commonplace right-angle interconnect orientations. These backshells mate directly with the cabling metal backshells that Harwin already has for […]
Robust larger diameter terminal pins for larger sockets requiring single connection
To complement its 1 mm diameter terminal pins, Harwin now offers a range of 1.75 mm diameter options. These pins will be suitable for use with larger sized sockets where a single connection is required. The new terminal pins have a current rating of over 9 A, making them suitable for power applications. Thanks to […]
Multi-contact, high-current connectors for harsh operating conditions
Harwin has significantly raised the power levels that its product portfolio can support with the introduction of the Kona series. These 8.5 mm pitch connectors’ contacts are capable of delivering 60A of current. This means that applications such as battery charging can be addressed without having to split the current across multiple contacts. Among the […]
