Harwin has made its supply chain more streamlined and responsive by extending the scope of its Datamate Mix-Tek high-reliability (hi-rel) connector series. OEMs can now purchase cable housings for these 2.00 and 4.00 mm pitch connectors without contacts fitted, rather than being restricted to a small number of pre-defined kits. This allows customers to consider […]
FPC assemblies require less headroom, allow PCBs to be more densely packed
Harwin now offers both its Datamate J-Tek and Gecko high-reliability connectors with flexible printed circuits (FPCs) attached for situations where there is little space above the board surface. Highly suited to aerospace, motorsport, satellite and defense installations, these FPC assemblies provide engineers with lower profile interconnect solutions. This means that the PCBs within a system […]
Industrial board-to-board connectors tested to 3 Gbits/sec operation
Harwin has confirmed that its Archer Kontrol 1.27-mm pitch board-to-board connectors support data rates of up to 3 Gbits/s. Compatible with Ethernet speeds up to 2.94 Gbits/sec, these connectors are optimized for modern industrial infrastructure. Targeting the industrial drives and controls market, the Archer Kontrol series is also proving highly effective in monitoring and data […]
Right-angle termination added to 1.25mm pitch connectors for cable-to-board applications
Harwin has extended its Gecko-SL (Screw-Lok) product range to include horizontal male connectors. Specifying the male throughboard connector at 90° to the PCB offers additional layout flexibility to maximize space above the board. Connectors can now be located at a PCB edge, routing a mated cable sideways outside the PCB stack. A key application to […]
Harwin ultra-compact EMI/RFI shield clips for space-constrained electronic designs
Covering a surface area of just 2.3mm x 1.2mm and with a 2mm height, Harwin’s S0911-46R shield can clip is the smallest surface mount EMI/RFI shield clip currently available on the market. Consequently, it is much better at addressing the demands being set by the latest generation of high-density electronic systems. This ultra-compact component, which […]
Harwin establishes Academy for aspiring young engineers
Always looking to support upcoming generations of engineering talent, Harwin has announced the founding of its Harwin Academy. This new venture, which has been undertaken in partnership with Havant & South Downs College, has the objective of giving high-quality training to students — thereby opening up career paths for them within the burgeoning STEM sector. […]
6-finger T-Contact offers high current carrying performance
Following the release of its narrow-pitch T-Contact offering last year, Harwin has now secured supply chain support from Digi-Key, Mouser and TTI. Intended for incorporation into Harwin’s flagship Datamate series, each T-Contact makes use of a 6-finger mechanical design, which has been machined out of a single piece of Beryllium Copper. Consequently, these compact and […]
3.00-mm pitch power connectors with 10 A current capacity
In keeping with the company’s core objective of providing elevated levels of performance in the most compact of components, Harwin’s expansive M300 family comprises robust cable-to-board, board-to-board and cable-to-cable power connectors. Available in 3, 6 and 10 contact formats, these units can be accompanied by a variety of cable assembly options (with lengths from 150 […]
2-mm pitch industrial connectors take on heavy vibrations and shocks
Capable of withstanding a 10G vibrational force for a period of 6 hours, the components in Harwin’s new M225 connector series are intended for industrial deployment. These compact, high-performance cable-to-board units feature a robust construction for prolonged operational lifespan, thanks to their glass-reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) enclosures, with a 100MΩ minimum insulation resistance ensuring continued […]
Compact, light screw-lok connector from Harwin offers reverse fix options
Continuing to push forward with further technological innovations, Harwin has extended the scope of its award-winning Gecko Screw-Lok (Gecko-SL) 1.25-mm pitch connector solutions — which are mainly targeted at avionics, space, military and autosport deployment. To present engineers with greater design flexibility, and ensure that mating procedures are made as straightforward as possible, a reverse […]
