Hi-rel connectors cope with demanding environments

Harwin’s Kona 8.5 mm pitch high-reliability connector family provides a high-quality and high-current connection for the most demanding environments.

The products are in stock at distributor DigiKey.

Individually shrouded contacts achieve 60 A continuous current and 3,000 V per contact with a durability rating of 250 mating cycles.

The 6-finger contact design is beryllium copper and gold-plated to maintain electrical continuity under heavy shock and vibration and is available in a compact single-row package in cable-to-board configurations.

Low outgassing properties meet NASA and ESA outgassing requirements for vacuum or space use.

Stainless-steel mate-before-lock thumbscrews prevent damage during the locking process by ensuring the contacts are fully mated before engaging the fixings.

These connectors provide a quick and easy mating process that does not require additional tooling.

They withstand 20 G vibration for 6 hours and 100 G shock for 6 m, and operate at a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.

Backpotting cavities provide additional strain relief

Applications cover:

  • Aviation: power control systems, in-flight infotainment, and navigation systems
  • Electric vehicle: battery control systems and auxiliary system power
  • Space: satellites, launch systems, and power supplies
  • Defence: UAVs and rugged vehicle electronics
  • High-end industrial: power units, control systems, robotics, and servo controls
