Harwin has released a female version of the Datamate 2 mm connector for aerospace, defence and avionics applications. The reverse-gender, right-angle, hi-rel connector enables boards to be connected in parallel or side by side.
The dual-row connectors are available in 6, 12, 14, 20, 26, and 34 positions with a 3 mm pc tail. Longer 4.5 mm and SM solder tails are anticipated. The Datamate hi-rel interconnection system is already a wide product family, and a horizontal female-style increases the possibilities open to design engineers looking to optimise performance and reduce system size and cost.
