Harwin has introduced a horizontal version of its 1.25mm pitch hi-rel Gecko connector, reducing the height above PCBs to just 5.6mm. Available in the standard eight positions – 6, 10, 12, 16, 20, 26, 34 and 50 – the new style also facilitates mother & daughter-board configurations.
G125 series connectors offer high performance in a miniature package. The 1.25mm pin spacing results in a 35% space saving over other high-performance connectors such as Micro-D. Connectors can handle 2A per contact and function within a wide temperature range (-65 to +150 degC) and under extreme vibration (Z axis 100g 6m/s). Other features common to the Gecko connector family include polarization points that prevent mis-mating, easy identification of the No. 1 position for fast visual inspection, and optional latches that allow simple and fast un-mating. Special tooling is available to assist un-mating in confined applications. The horizontal style connectors feature an optional mechanical hold-down latching system for additional connection security.
