Availability of these new connectors will ease automated assembly, since they can be terminated in the same solder reflow process as all other board-mounted SMC components. The connectors are available in suitable tray or reel packaging, which are fully compatible with the various handling equipments of an automated assembly line.
The bellows mating technology used in these har-mik® connectors makes them an ideal choice for applications requiring repetitive plugging and blind mating.
