Prototypes and small builds for early stage projects with the additional advantage of no MOQ are a Harwin speciality proving particularly attractive to space and avionics customers. Harwin already boasts a strong presence in these markets through its world-class Hi-rel connector ranges, in particular, the award-winning 1.25mm pitch Gecko interconnect, which has been specified on multiple programmes from satellites and CubeSats to mission and safety-critical aircraft control systems.
Additional investment at Salem has resulted in an expanded QA Department, additional training – all of the cable assembly facility’s operators are trained to IPC620 crimping standards – and upgrading of warehouse management systems. Additional machinery purchased includes extra electrical testing stations, post-potting ovens, and the very latest wire cutting and stripping machinery.
