Harwin adds extra-small bore Datamate connector range

This new contact enables designers to use wire which is less bulky and lighter in weight, allowing designers to achieve a closer packing density of components or a reduce in equipment size. For aerospace and portable applications the reduction in weight is very significant. The new contact is gold plated to ensure good conductivity and has a current rating of 3.3A in isolation and 3A on all contacts simultaneously. Contact resistance 25mΩ (max), durability is 500 operations. And operating temperature range is -55 to +125 degC.

Comments product manager, Graham Cunningham: “Datamate is renowned for its ability to resist shock and vibration and is ideally suited to safety critical applications where high reliability is a necessity such as robotics, commercial & military aerospace, military vehicles, rail & transportation, medical, and oil & gas industries. The new extra-small bore contact will be especially suitable for weight-constrained avionics applications such as UAVs, and size restricted designs such as medical instrumentation.”
