Connectors provide low profile, dual row cable-to-board and board-to-board interconnect solution

Harwin G125 Series Gecko Connectors, available now from Mouser, provide a low profile, dual row cable-to-board and board-to-board interconnect solution, ideally suited for stacking and cable mating in areas where PCB real estate is at a premium. With space and weight a consideration for many high-reliability applications, the connectors are designed to offer high performance in a miniature package. Pin spacing of 1.25mm and up to 50 contacts per connector offer dense pin counts in a small package. This design means that the connectors achieve 35% space savings over other high-performance connectors such as Micro-D. The connectors also accommodate 2.8A per contact in isolation and 2A simultaneously at 25C. Tested and proven to allow high performance in extreme conditions, the connector family can operate within a wide temperature range (-65C to +150C) and under extreme vibration (Z axis 100g 6ms). This high performance is made possible by the company’s four-finger patented (pending*) copper alloy contact. The connectors are manufactured to withstand high numbers of mating cycles but also featuring low insertion and extraction forces.
