Harwin is showcasing two new interconnect products for the first time at the world’s largest defence exhibition, DSEI. Visitors to the Harwin stand S4-166 can see Harwin’s Datamate coaxial connector and also have a preview of the forthcoming M300 10-position high density power connector series to be launched at the beginning of October.

Harwin has expanded its popular EZ-Boardware range with the introduction of three RFI Shield Clips, suitable for small and low profile shield cans with wall thicknesses of between 0.15 and 0.20mm. These additions include two clips of only 3.9mm length (S0941-46R and S0951-46R), allowing users to fix smaller sized cans to the PCB using this cost effective method.

Expanding its popular EZBoardware range, Harwin has announced three RFI Shield Clips suitable for small and low profile shield cans with wall thicknesses of 0.15 to 1.0mm. These additions include two clips of only 3.9mm length, allowing users to fix smaller sized cans to the PCB using this cost effective method.

Exhibiting on Stand FG176 in Hall 2B at the Paris Air Show, Le Bourget, 15th to 21st June, Harwin will demonstrate its Mil-Aero connectors and Datamate, Gecko and M300 high-reliability connector systems which withstand the severe shock, vibration and temperature conditions experienced in satellites, commercial and military aircraft, UAVs and spacecraft.

Addressing increasing demand for more functionality in ever decreasing PCB space, such as in hand held devices, Harwin has expanded its EZBoardWare portfolio with small and low profile versions of surface mount Test Points. The two Test Points are designed to match the 2012 and 1608 metric (0805 and 0603 imperial) electronic package sizes, whilst providing secure connection points and allowing test engineers to clip on industry standard micr...

Following the successful launch of WUSAT-2 satellite earlier this month, Harwin is delighted to congratulate Warwick University. The student-run project, which built and launched a small 10x10x10cm CubeSat satellite into space, relies on high-reliability, miniature connectors from Harwin to provide the vital interconnect used in experimental equipment carried by the satellite.

Harwin has announced a quick turn around sample service on its Archer range of 1.27mm pitch M50 and M52 fine pitch board-to-board and cable-to-board connectors which are available on tape and reel packaging for easy PCB assembly. The range is available in a wide variety of mating heights, with board-mounted sockets from 2.2 to 8.5mm, and with different mounting options.

Harwin has awarded Mouser Electronics its Distributor of the Year Award 2014/2015 for the way in which it has supported the launch of its range of M300 power connectors and the expansion of its EZ-BoardWare range with EMI shielding products including additional cans, shield can prototype kits and SMT clips.

  Harwin has announced a wide range of PCB terminals (turrets). Often overlooked, these simple yet effective PCB hardware products can save assembly costs, improve build quality and increase design flexibility.

Harwin has announced the appointment of Eneko Ansoleaga as Sales Manager covering Southern Europe. The company believes that its high performance connectors, the space and cost saving EZ-Boardware PCB hardware products, are a natural fit for the region.

Adding to its popular EZ-BoardWare range, Harwin has announced a package of surface mount products that can be used separately or in combination to deliver an effective EMI/RFI solution. All the products are designed to take advantage of SMT, simplifying and speeding manufacture, reducing costs and increasing quality.

At Southern Manufacturing 2015, Harwin will be exhibiting its two latest products: the M300 durable power connector family and the EZ-Shield Cans. The knowledgeable Harwin team will be on hand throughout the show on Stand E110 to discuss customer requirements and its interconnect and PCB hardware product portfolios.

A cost effective alternative to turned PCB sockets, EZ-Board sockets are designed for SMT assembly and are suited for high volume applications. The components come in industry standard tape & reel packaging, allowing them to be automatically placed which minimises installed cost.

Enabling designers to rapidly construct PCB cans at minimal cost for development purposes, Harwin now offers its EZ-Shield Can EMC protection screening products in kit form. To form an EMC cage around sensitive ICs and electronic circuitry, the company's EZ-Shield Cans are simply pressed onto pre-positioned surface mount EZ-Shield Clips. This saves expensive, labour-intensive secondary assembly and facilitates reworking.

  Designed to provide protection for sensitive PCB circuitry against RFI and EMI at board level, the S02 series of low profile RFI shield cans has been released by Harwin. Depending on frequency and configuration, attenuation performance of up to 24dB can be achieved.

In response to demands from customers requiring a resilient power connector, Harwin, has launched a family of high density power connectors that can handle currents up to 10A and withstand temperatures between -65degrees C and 175 degrees C. Based on a 3mm pitch, the M300 connectors are designed for rugged environments and withstand twice the number of operations as older generation products.

Expanding the company's EZ-BoardWare PCB socket portfolio, Harwin has added a contact accommodating 0.8-1.5mm diameter mating pins. Suited for high volume applications, the EZ-Board sockets are a cost-effective alternative to turned PCB sockets. The components are supplied in industry-standard tape & reel packaging, allowing them to be automatically placed to minimise cost.

Harwin has doubled the current rating of the power contacts available for use in its Datamate Mix-Tek mixed-technology connector series from 20A to 40A. More, up to 12 of the new high current contacts can be used in one Datamate Mix-Tek housing, with devices spec’d for use at high temperatures up to +150degC (with derating).

Harwin has taken delivery of equipment worth £500,000 at its Portsmouth manufacturing headquarters facilitating further production efficiencies and enabling the company to remain competitive. The new investment with automatic stamping press maker, Bruderer, sees Harwin achieve a world first with the integration of a planetary gearbox into the shaft of the main stamping press motor. 

Harwin has revealed a £500,000 investment in its Portsmouth manufacturing headquarters. This high-value investment will lead to increased manufacturing efficiencies, which will in turn enable Harwin to remain competitive. Strengthening a 30 year relationship with automatic stamping press maker, Bruderer, this investment represents the world's first integration of a planetary gearbox into the shaft of the main motor.    ...
