Harwin Datamate J-Tek & Gecko FPC Assemblies

Harwin Datamate J-Tek and Gecko Flex Printed Circuit (FPC) Assemblies offer high reliability in low profile designs that combine go-anywhere routing of cables with the reduced vertical space required by SMT connectors. Replacement of standard cable connectors with these flex-mounted SMT connections allows users to stack PCBs closer. The FPC design is fitted with 2mm Datamate J-Tek and 1.25mm pitch Gecko connectors and allows for a sharper bend radius. Standard 10-contact assemblies in single- and double-ended designs are available. Stainless steel jackscrews are fitted to the Datamate connectors and latches to the Gecko, ensuring secure connection under duress.

Features

  • Low profile connection allows denser PCB stacking possibilities or space for other devices over the board
  • A sharper bend than standard cables is allowed due to a tight bend radius under static and dynamic conditions
  • Maintains electrical contact in harsh environments, shock (100G) and vibration (up to 20G) proof
  • Stainless steel locking screws or latching ensures reliability with a strong and secure connection
  • Signal integrity is assured under heavy vibration with 4 finger Beryllium Copper signal contacts
  • Can be used in a wide variety of extreme environments due to an operating temperature range of -65°C to +150°C
  • Single-ended assemblies are compatible with industry-standard 0.5mm and 1mm pitch FPC/FFC connectors
  • Signal capacity of 1A per contact for Datamate J-Tek and 0.4A per contact for Gecko
  • Available in standard lengths, Datamate J-Tek 100mm and Gecko 75mm
