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 […]
Harwin recognizes Mouser with Sales Achievement Award
To acknowledge strong global growth and outstanding customer service Harwin is giving its annual Sales Achievement award to Mouser Electronics Inc. Mouser has been a distributor for Harwin since 2005. It stocks a wide range of Harwin products including high reliability (Hi-Rel) connectivity solutions, EMI shielding and PCB hardware. During the 2019/2020 financial year, Mouser’s […]
Harwin opens smart manufacturing facility to increase demand for Hi-Rel connectors
Harwin has started production in its new manufacturing facilities at the Portsmouth headquarters in the South of England. Providing an additional 1,200m² of factory floor, the new facility is enabling the company to quickly and significantly scale up production of its award-winning high reliability (Hi-Rel) connectors to meet market requirements. The total investment into the […]
Durable 1.27-mm pitch industrial connectors with cable assemblies
Harwin has expanded its Archer Kontrol board-to-board industrial connector portfolio to meet cable-to-board requirements. Based on customer feedback, the company has just introduced off-the-shelf IDC cable assembly options to accompany the existing discrete connector components. These are available now direct from stock through Harwin’s global network of distributors. On each of these assemblies, a ribbon […]
Datamate Mix-Tek connector housings and contacts available separately
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 […]
