With millions of products in operation, including those from Harwin’s High-Reliability Datamate product, Harwin has amassed a wealth of interconnect knowledge and is pleased to announce the latest addition to its high-reliability product portfolio – the Gecko range. Harwin’s Gecko (G125 series) connectors 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. (-65°C/+150°C) and under extreme vibration (Z axis 100g 6ms). This high performance is made possible by Harwin’s four-finger patented (pending*) Copper Alloy contact. With space and weight a consideration for many high-reliability applications, G125 connectors are designed to offer high performance in a miniature package. Pin spacing of 1.25mm and up to 50 contacts per connector, offers dense pin counts in a small package. This design means that G125 connectors achieve a 35% space saving over other high-performance connectors such as Micro-D. The connectors also accommodate 2A per contact. The connectors are manufactured to withstand high numbers of mating cycles but also featuring low insertion and extraction forces. Housings are manufactured from Halogen & Red Phosphorus free, glass-filled thermoplastic, an environmentally friendly material that has eliminated harmful chemicals before they have been added to restricted substances lists. The housings also feature positive keying that prevent mis-mating and are available with or without latches fitted for extra security of connection. Tested and proven to allow high performance in extreme conditions, the G125 family can operate within a wide temperature range High Reliability just got smaller. Patent Pending – UK 1205109.0 www.harwin.com 2 Keyway Polarisation Points Four Finger Beryllium Copper Contact 3 polarising points on each component prevent mis-mating. Unique patent pending high-reliability contact design ensures signal integrity under extremes of bump, vibration and shock. Packaged in Tape & Reel Pre-assembled Cable Configurations Packed in industry standard tape & reel packaging for automated assembly and also available as cut strips of 10 pieces. Cable connectors available in a variety of layouts featuring male and female single and double ended in a variety of standard lengths. Combined Latching & PCB retention system No. 1 Position identified Optional latches allow simple and fast de-latching and require no special tooling. Solder tabs for SMT and barbs for PC Tail versions ensuring retention to the PCB. Housings are clearly marked with identifier for fast visual inspection. Potting Wall Environmentally Friendly Materials Cable connectors feature a rear potting wall adding an extra level of strain relief. Mouldings are manufactured from Halogen & Red Phosphorus free, glass-filled thermoplastic, an environmentally friendly material. All G125 connectors are RoHS compliant.
