Popular high reliability and high performance, 3-row Datamate connectors from Harwin are now available from stock – 'Commercial Off the shelf'. Stocked in 5 different configurations of PCB and cable variants and in 6 standard 'most popular' sizes from 18 to 96 ways, the 2mm pitch, 3A per contact connectors are ideal for use in board to board or cable to board applications where a high number of contacts is required in a small space.

The 3 row design provides a smaller PCB footprint saving real estate on the PCB. The compact cable version saves space within the equipment.
