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 […]
Twisted and shielded cabling for Gecko-SL connectors
To address safety and mission-critical applications, where continued data integrity is of paramount importance, Harwin now offers additional cable assembly services for its popular Gecko series. Produced on-demand, these assemblies provide greater resilience against ambient electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk from neighboring wiring. Engineers can now specify double-ended cables with either twisted-pair wiring (different colors […]
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 […]
Cable assemblies for Gecko-MT mixed technology connectors
Harwin is expanding its services relating to the Gecko-MT high-reliability (Hi-Rel) connector series. Enabling significant reductions in weight and space, Gecko-MT robust 1.25 mm-pitch components add 2 or 4 10 A-rated power contacts to the standard 2 A-rated 8 Gecko signal contacts, addressing data and power delivery simultaneously. Targeted at high-density electronic systems — in […]
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 […]
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 […]
