Stretching across six halls, more than 1,000 companies from around the world exhibited at the international event to an audience of over 32,000 embedded experts.
Among the exhibitors was Harwin, who announced its durable, versatile and stackable high density board-to-board connectors.
Harwin demonstrated how its Archer Kontrol family could be connected to boards seamlessly and in more than one orientation, enabling easy connection and reducing the likelihood of pin breakage. The fully shrouded design adds to the robustness and should allow these connectors to withstand the lateral and twisting forces encountered in vibration prone application settings.
The Archer Kontrols are designed to provide engineers with a robust, yet flexible interconnect solution for industrial tasks and can be supplied horizontally or vertically.
Covering 12 to 80 contact pin formats, these 1.27mm pitch connectors are said to have a current rating of 1.2A per contact.
The connectors have also been designed with space in mind and should offer greater retention to the PCB, as they’ve been configured for surface mounting and facilitate automated assembly processes, with hold-down solder tabs.
The family includes parallel board-to-board, or right-angle mother-to-daughterboard configurations and are compatible with popular standard connector types.
The connectors are said to feature a minimum insulation resistance of 1000MΩ, are voltage proof to 500VAC and have an operational temperature range spanning from 55°C to 125°C. Up to 500 mating/un-mating cycles are supported.
