High Reliability Connector Systems

Specify high current and high quality for maximum power in extreme conditions with Harwin’s 8.5mm pitch Kona connector series, capable of achieving up to 60A and 3000V per contact. Individually shrouded contacts and the robust housings protect the connections from physical knocks and damage. Vibration and shock resilience are built into the design, with the 6-finger beryllium copper alloy contacts for electrical continuity and good spring force properties. Full gold plating resists wear from continued use and allows for 250 mating cycles. Low outgassing properties and a wide temperature range to withstand the most extreme environments. Cable-to-board configurations available with stainless steel mate-before-lock thumbscrew hardware for a fast, easy, and secure connection.

For applications that must not fail, Harwin’s Gecko range offers a high-reliability connection at a miniature 1.25mm pitch. Capable of withstanding extremes of shock, vibration and temperature, the series features cable-to-board, board-to-board and cable-to-cable in pin counts up to 50. Beryllium copper, gold plated 4-finger contacts offer excellent current capacity for a miniature connector achieving 2A per contact (electrically loaded). Specify finger-release locking latches for a minimal PCB footprint or Mate-Before-Lok screw-lok hardware for maximum strain relief. The compact design offers significant space saving over Micro-D connectors making it an ideal solution for aerospace applications, with up to 45% smaller and 75% lighter over existing equivalent industry standards. Also available as the Gecko-MT range of mixed-layout connectors, up to 10A power contacts.

Achieve high-reliability performance in extreme conditions with the Datamate 2.00mm pitch connector range. Ensure continuous signal integrity under vibration and shock with Datamate’s patented four-finger beryllium copper, gold-plated contact. Increase security by specifying your choice of jackscrew hardware for maximum strain relief or locking latches for a minimal PCB footprint. The compact design is available in a wide array of configurations that allow for a low-profile connection. The Datamate range provides an ideal COTS solution for proven reliability in demanding applications.
