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 […]
Shielding cans cut EMI on PCBs
Assisting engineers dealing with EMI/RFI issues in their PCB designs, Harwin has just announced the introduction of three new shielding cans. Supplied in a tape-and-reel format, these cans increase the company’s existing range of EMC products. The new can dimensions are 10mm x 10mm, 15mm x 10mm and 30mm x 10mm, all with a 3mm […]
Small and lightweight mixed-layout connectors support 10 A current
Harwin continues to extend the scope of its high-reliability (hi-rel) connector portfolio through the introduction of mixed-layout versions of its popular Gecko-SL series. By complementing the data contacts with 2 or 4 power contacts (in power/data configurations of either 1+8+1 or 2+8+2), the Gecko-MT products enable significant space and weight reductions in electronic hardware. This […]
Compact Gecko-SL off-the-shelf cable assemblies
Fully leveraging its considerable expertise, so that customers have rapid access to simple and cost-effective interconnect solutions, Harwin has broadened the scope of its portfolio of ready-made high-reliability cable assemblies. The award-winning Gecko Screw-Lok (Gecko-SL) 1.25-mm connector family builds on the options already available using the company’s popular Datamate products. A wider range of cable […]
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 […]
NVIDIA’s VP and GM of Autonomous Machines Deepu Talla kicks off keynotes at 2019 Robotics Summit
The 2019 Robotics Summit in Boston on June 5th and 6th is a premier robotics event focused on the design, development, manufacture, and delivery of commercial robotics. The Summit is co-located with the DeviceTalks event at the Seaport World Trade Center. Critical technical challenges remain when designing electronics for robotics systems particularly in the context of […]
APEC 2019: When you really, really need a rugged power connector
We recently spoke with Jessica Engel from Harwin talked to us a bit about some new developments in power connector technology. One such development was the Datamate Mix-Tek series of power connectors. She says they’re lightweight, compact, offer or 20 and 40-A options, and provide a lot of design flexibility. You have the option to […]
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.
