25 November 2008

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.

Connectors feature a female surface mount configuration combined with through-board hold down tags providing a secure mounting to the PCB. The range is fully RoHS-compliant, and available with a selectively-plated gold finish. A metallic outer shell provides good shielding for signal integrity. Current rating per pin is 1.5A, devices are voltage proof to 500V AC, contact resistance is 50mΩ and insulation resistance is 1000MΩ. Operating temperature is -40 to +85degC.

Comments Product Manager Paul Gillam: “These new devices fully conform to the requirements of IEEE 1394, yet offer a great deal of flexibility. They are available off-the-shelf and suit applications including laptops/PCs, digital cameras, set top boxes, PDAs, camcorders, industrial equipment, office automation and medical devices.”
