Harwin's Gecko connector range now offers new horizontal male versions, to add to the existing range of vertical & crimp male connectors and vertical & crimp female connectors. This gives the benefit of increased design flexibility, with the same high performance.
The horizontal connector options allow mother-daughter board configurations, or reduced PCB stack height when used with cable connectors. The male horizontal connectors have the option of locking latches, these latches can be dis-engaged either by hand, or with special tools when access is restricted.
The horizontal connectors also have mechanical hold-down features which offer further flexibility of design, the through board barbs or SMT fixings give improved PCB retention, minimising the risk of connector damage during use.
Key Features
Harwin Gecko connectors are designed and manufactured to achieve high numbers of mating cycles but also feature low insertion and extraction forces. Mouldings are manufactured from Halogen & Red Phosphorus free, glass-filled thermoplastic, an environmentally friendly material that has eliminated harmful chemicals before they have been added to restricted substances lists.
The Gecko connectors are ideal for applications which require high reliability connections such as Military, Aerospace, Oil & Gas exploration, Medical equipment, Robotic systems and UAVs.

Harwin's Flecto range represents the state-of-the-art of today's floating connector technologies. Capable of withstanding up to ±0.5mm misalignment in both the X and Y axes, these fine-pitch board-to-board connectors offer perfect alignment.
Harwin has expanded its range of ready-to-use cable assemblies for the high reliability range of Gecko connectors with the addition of cable assemblies for the Gecko-SL connectors which feature Screw-Lok (SL) jackscrew fixings.
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) enables a high level of automation within manufacturing and processing facilities. It helps companies achieve real progress to improve efficiency, productivity, and output quality.
Harwin has significantly raised the power levels that its product portfolio can support with the introduction of the Kona series
We now live in an age with systems that rely on constant access to large quantities of real-time data. Through inline measurement, these large quantities of data allow industrial processes to operate more efficiently
