Harwin's Kona connectors with an 8.5mm pitch are compact and stylish, yet capable of handling high currents (up to 60A per contact) and are available in 2, 3, and 4-contact versions. Since their introduction in late 2020, these highly reliable components have been used in numerous mission-critical applications, including new space applications, electric vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and robotics.
The two-piece construction of Kona's back covers allows engineers to easily upgrade their existing cabling products with 360° EMC shielding. This capability is especially beneficial if an EMI issue arises during the development process or when field-installed equipment undergoes an upgrade that reveals new EMI problems. Furthermore, the connector can be mounted on the board or panel for complete shielding.
Kona's rear covers are distinguished by their robust construction, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh environments. Installation requires no special tools, making assembly quick and easy. Additional strain relief on the cable braid helps eliminate the risk of damage to the assembly once installed and operational. The rear covers are also nickel-plated for enhanced protection against corrosion and oxidation in the field.
