Harwin, the manufacturer of high reliability interconnect systems and SMT PCB hardware, has announced the appointment of new distributors to cover the rapidly-developing markets in Russia and the Ukraine.

Harwin, the leading manufacturer of connectors and interconnect solutions for high-reliability applications, has broadened the range of surface mount EMI/RFI shield clips it offers with the launch of its Maxi Clip, which handles protective cans with wall thicknesses of between 0.7 and 1mm.

Harwin, the leading manufacturer of connectors and interconnect solutions for high-reliability applications, has produced a video which demonstrates the automated crimp process it has developed for its Datamate Trio-Tek open barrel crimp contacts.

Harwin has extended the range of high power contacts available within its Mix-Tek mixed technology Datamate connector series with the introduction of two new crimp style contacts, together with the associated crimp tooling. These contacts will be of particular interest to those users wishing to terminate to cables in sensitive areas where the use of solder joints are not permitted, for example in certain restricted aerospace applications.

Harwin has named Nabin Pande, Corporate Product Manager Connectors, at TTI in Europe as the recipient of its annual Chairman’s Award. The Chairman's Award recognises the hard work of individuals within Harwin’s global distribution network that have made a significant contribution to the company’s success.

Harwin has just launched 101Lok, a fast-mate version of its secure, 2mm pitch, J-Tek Datamate cable to cable, cable to board and board to board connector family. Historically, secure mating has been achieved with the Datamate J-Tek version using Jack screws. New 101Lok Datamate connectors require only a simple ‘quarter turn’ – actually 101 degrees – to ensure complete security of the retention device.

Harwin has named Doug Steele as Global VP of Catalogue Distribution. Steele, who was previously Harwin’s North America Distribution Director, will be tasked with developing a consistent worldwide product pricing and product introduction structure.

High-reliability interconnect company Harwin has announced a new size within its commercial Mil-C-5015 connector range, plus the availability of end caps and rubber bushing attachments to suit the entire product family.

Harwin has announced ex-stock availability of a range of competitively-priced Firewire (IEEE 1394) connectors capable of transferring data between devices at 100, 200, or 400Mbit/s. Two styles are available: a six pin version that provides power handling; and a reduced-size four pin device.

High-reliability interconnect company Harwin has announced that its new range of Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors are immediately available off the shelf in a wide variety of formats to suit differing customer requirements. Applications include laptops/PCs, digital cameras, set top boxes, PDAs, camcorders, industrial equipment, office automation and medical devices.

The challenge is to build machines that can help humans work in, and explore space. Working side by side with humans, or operating where the risks are too great for people, machines like Robonaut - a humanoid robot designed by the Robot Systems Technology Branch at NASA's Johnson Space Center in a collaborative effort with DARPA - will expand our ability for construction and discovery. The Robonaut project has adopted the design concept of an ant...

High-reliability interconnect company Harwin has introduced a new range of surface mount EMI/RFI shield clips which reduce assembly time and simplify rework by eliminating secondary soldering operations.

Harwin has just added miniature P20 spring probe contact connectors to its product portfolio. P20 spring probe contact connectors maintain a positive force against a mating surface. With very low mating forces connection is rapid, effortless and user-friendly, and significant mating misalignments can be tolerated.

HiRel connector maker, Harwin has announced that the Delfi-C3 nano satellite – which uses the company’s 2mm pitch Datamate series to connect to solar cells and other instrumentation – has now been launched and is orbiting about 630km above the earth, successfully achieving its mission having sent back over 270000 telemetry frames to date.

High-reliability connector maker Harwin, has extended its range of high reliability Datamate cable-to-board and cable-to-cable connectors with the addition of two- and three-contact male crimp devices. Datamate L-Tek single row connectors deliver extra design flexibility and are available with various latching options, including friction latch, locking latch and no latch.

Said to perform to the same high-reliability standards as conventional Datamate contacts, the Datamate Trio-Tek open barrel crimp contact, from high-reliability connector maker Harwin, automates the crimp process to significantly save on assembly time and reduce process costs. The new crimp design which features a latching feature simplifies the insertion of contacts into the housing.

Harwin has released the M402 series of surface mount, 0.5mm pitch connectors in male or female configuration. Supplied taped and reeled the connector range is available configured from 10 through to 100 terminations with RoHS compliant gold or tin finish, phosphor Bronze contact material and high temperature UL94V-0 thermoplastic housing.

Harwin’s Essential Product range is a completely new range of standard interconnect components – such as 2 and 2.54mm pitch headers and sockets, 2mm turned pin headers, IC sockets etc – that are available in popular sizes at very attractive prices from the high-reliability connector maker.

A new range of high reliability, rugged, RoHS-compliant Circular Connectors released by Harwin meets the high standards of Mil-C-5015 yet is priced to be cost-effective for commercial and industrial applications.

High reliability interconnect manufacturer, Harwin, has secured a distribution agreement with elcon electronic GmbH in Goettingen, Germany, to reinforce its presence in the German market place. elcon electronic distributes a range of active, passive and electromechanical components for over 20 well established manufacturers throughout Germany.
