Hi-rel connectors from Harwin now available off-the-shelf with 40A power contacts

In order to respond to industry demands for fast turn-around, Harwin has made the most commonly-preferred variations of the Datamate Mix-Tek connector family immediately available as standard, off-the-shelf items. 2-10 pin varieties featuring the new 40A contacts have been added to this stocked profile, which also includes certain popular 3A signal, 20A power and 50Ω coax parts.

The new contacts are plated with 30 microinches (0.76µm) of gold for aerospace applications and to offer high durability. Contacts are compact and operate over a wide temperature range. Comments Product Manager Scott Flower: “The new contacts will extend the use of our Mix-Tek connectors to include any application where a high current is used, particularly at high temperatures. We expect key applications to include: aircraft flap actuators; industrial machine control; avionics rotary & linear actuators; aircraft wiper motor control; thermal management, heating and cooling; auto pilot control; and radar and weapons systems.”
