Harwin to showcases industrial connectors at Embedded World
Advanced interconnect specialist Harwin will be using the upcoming Embedded World event (Nuremberg, March 14-16) to focus on its newly defined BBi product portfolio. These high density board-to-board connectors are intended for use in challenging industrial applications, providing assured long-term operation. The BBi portfolio includes components for drives and controls, edge-based computing hardware, automation systems, […]
Mixed layout Hi-Rel connector portfolio expanded
Harwin has expanded the contact layout options of its Gecko-MT high-reliability (Hi-Rel) connectors. Announced at Electronica in Munich, the new variants have been added to complement the existing symmetrical 2-power/8-signal and 4-power/8-signal layouts. There are six new contact arrangements that feature 2 to 6 power contacts and 4 to 24 signal contacts. These have a […]
Interconnections for EV powertrain systems
Space constraints that characterize electric vehicle systems put special demands on connectors that must handle high power and rising data rates. Giorgio Potenza • Harwin There are six main systems directly associated with an electric vehicle (EV) powertrain. They consist of the onboard charger (OBC), the battery pack, the battery management system (BMS) that monitors […]
Hi-rel connector extends connection height to 17.15mm
To support the complete breadth of customer applications, Harwin adds another option to its popular Datamate series of high-reliability (Hi-Rel) connectors. Complementing the existing Datamate J-Tek connector range (fitted with jackscrews for secure mounting) with a 7.3mm board-to-board height when mated, the new female connector gives a significantly larger 17.15mm connection height. Providing more space […]
New backshells give EMI/RFI protection to horizontal Gecko connectors
Harwin has introduced horizontal backshells for its Gecko-Screw-Lok (Gecko-SL) series of lightweight, high-reliability (Hi-Rel) connectors. These backshells ensure a fully EMI/RFI shielded connection for horizontal 1.25-mm pitch board-to-cable connections. Previously Gecko EMI/RFI shielding was only available on vertical board-to-cable orientations. This new development will be of real value to applications requiring EMI/RFI protection, but where […]
SMT PCB socket offering broadened
Expanding its portfolio of board sockets, Harwin has introduced additional sizes for the popular Sycamore Contact range. These 6A current rated surface-mount PCB sockets allow engineers to accommodate different designs, placing individual sockets freely on a board without the constraint of connector housings. Two additions complement the existing 3.8 7mm length sockets, which accept 0.8-1.3mm […]
SMT PCB sockets handle 6 A
The Sycamore Contact 6-A current-rated surface-mount PCB sockets allow engineers to accommodate different designs, placing individual sockets freely on a board without the constraint of connector housings. Two additions complement the existing 3.87-mm-length sockets, which accept 0.8-1.3 mm or 1.5-1.9 mm mating pins. These new versions have longer body lengths of 5.87 mm, which means […]
Tiny, 0.8 mm-pitch board-to-board connectors target high-density industrial systems
Harwin announces the Archer .8 series. With a 5mm stack height, these dual-row 0.8mm-pitch board-to-board connectors are intended for uses where there is very limited available space and cost-effectiveness is equally important. These include factory automation and environmental monitoring equipment, smart meters, point-of-sales units, servers/data center hardware, and battery management systems in electric vehicles. The […]
Hi-Rel cable connectors available with rear panel mount options
To provide customers with greater choice and increase design flexibility, Harwin now offers rear panel mount cable connectors for both its 2mm-pitch Datamate and 1.25mm-pitch Gecko high-reliability (Hi-Rel) series. These will complement the company’s existing front panel mount solutions, broadening the scope of how connector housings are attached to an enclosure or panel. The clear […]
