The range initially consists of male and female cable connectors, as well as vertical female and right-angle male connectors for printed circuit boards. These components incorporate robust, screw-on stainless steel fasteners (in both conventional and inverted configurations) to ensure continuous interconnect integrity, even in the most demanding application environments. They are capable of withstanding 20G of vibration and 100G of shock, and their operating temperature range is from -65°C to 150°C. They are also notable for their low outgassing levels.
These connectors, which handle both data and power in a single compact and lightweight solution, are highly optimized for aerospace, defense, aerospace, and motorsports. Key applications include robotics, unmanned aerial vehicles, battery management, and satellites. They are available from stock and through Harwin's distributor network. Factory-wired systems are also available upon request.
“Thanks to Gecko-MT, engineers will be able to optimize their designs, improve size and weight, and reduce bill of materials costs by using a smaller, lower-cost component than comparable Micro-D connectors,” said John Brunt, Director of High Reliability Products at Harwin. “Combining power and signal in a single connection device saves weight and space without compromising performance or longevity.”.
