Additions to industry-standard interconnects and EMC shielding connectors

Harwin has added new products to its industry-standard connector ranges to meet customer requirements for enhanced features suitable for automated pick and place assembly. The industry-standard options available now include 2.54mm and 2mm single and dual-row horizontal SMT sockets; 2.54mm single row horizontal SMT pin header; 2.54mm low profile SMT socket; 2.54mm and 2mm dual-row vertical SMT pin headers with locating pegs; and 1.27mm boxed SMT header with locating pegs. The additions target industrial, instrumentation, medical, IoT and lighting applications. The multi-award-winning Gecko 1.25mm hi-rel connector is a dual-row, low-profile interconnect for stacking and cable mating. Smaller and lighter than Micro-D products, Gecko connectors achieve a 35% space saving on the PCB and feature a patented 4-finger beryllium copper contact design which is resistant to high vibration and shock. The high specification of Gecko connectors has led to successful design-ins on numerous aerospace and space applications, including UAVs and satellites. Datamate 2mm pitch (M80 and M83) series connectors are a highly-reliable and flexible solution for many applications. Available in single, double and triple row configurations, with 3A contacts, the range also offers mixed technology power and coax options, now including up to 40A per power contact, 6GHz / 50Ohm coax. Harwin’s M300 connectors are a compact power solution with 10A per contact and again feature Harwin’s proven 4-finger contact design to ensure excellent electrical contact even under extreme shock and vibration.
