Harwin, the leading hi-rel connector and SMT board hardware manufacturer, has announced that its 2mm Datamate hi-rel connector family is now available with single-piece, machined metal backshells that provide electrical screening against RFI and EMI interference. Datamate S-Tek is industry’s lowest cost, shielded hi-rel connector, and its launch means that Datamate, well-proven in harsh environments, can now be considered for I/O applications as well as PCB-mount designs.

Manufactured in aluminium alloy and nickel plated for electrical performance and corrosion resistance, when used in conjunction with the relevant J-Tek Datamate connectors and metal braid, Datamate S-Tek backshells ensure full 360 degree electrical shielding. Designed to attach to a wide variety of standard metallic braids using industry standard tools, the backshells enable the shield braid to be connected through the backshell to the PCB ground plane. Available in female cable-to-PCB-mount and female cable-to-panel-mount configurations in a range of sizes including 6,10,14,20 and 26 positions, the backshells also provide excellent design flexibility.

Comments Product Manager Paul Gillam: “Designed to improve high speed transmission of signals and data by ensuring good protection against radio frequency and electromagnetic interference (RFI/EMI), the Datamate S-Tek connectors and backshells will suit many I/O applications in the Military and Aerospace marketplace, as well as in Industrial Electronics and Control system applications.”
