High-reliability connector maker, Harwin, has released the M402 series of surface mount, 0.5mm pitch connectors in male or female configuration.
Product manager at Harwin, Graham Cunningham, said: "An innovative, patent-pending design in the field of high reliability connectors, the Datamate Trio-Tek auto-crimp contact features a triangular form that is the key to providing a simplified crimping process while at the same time enabling the customer to fully automate crimping in medium- and high-volume applications.
Further, inexpensive hand crimping tools are also available for lower volume and product development and prototyping applications".
The high reliability contact of the Datamate Trio-Tek is tested in accordance with BS 9525-F0033.
A crimp inspection window in the housing aids quality control, while the insulation crimp barrel provides improved strain relief.
The contacts come with jackscrews (J-Tek) and are available both loose and on reels.
Typical applications include high-reliability, high volume markets such as commercial aerospace, data communications, medical devices, engine management and high-end industrial equipment, including pumps, heavy machinery and drilling rigs.
