As a world leader in reliable and high-performance connectors, Harwin’s primary focus is to provide engineers with all the resources and tools required to develop new system designs quickly and easily. As such, the company’s latest development is integrating two powerful tools, from TraceParts and TrustedParts, into its website.

The partnership with TraceParts ensures designers can easily access 3D models of Harwin’s connectors, board-level EMC shielding and PCB hardware. Models are available in all current file formats for engineers to integrate directly into their CAD system and design, saving valuable time and streamlining the development process.

TrustedParts gives engineers and specifiers easy access to aggregated price and availability data for genuine parts from only authorized/franchised distributors for electronic components sourcing. Over 6000 of Harwin’s fast-moving parts are listed in local languages and currencies of each of the key markets around the world.

Peter Schneid, VP of Marketing at Harwin, shared his thoughts on the partnerships with TraceParts and TrustedParts: “Harwin’s digital transformation is moving at a rapid pace. Although actual connector samples are important, 3D models of connectors are becoming increasingly significant as ‘digital samples’. Easy access to aggregated real-time price and availability data from authorized sources is equally important.”

When combined with Harwin’s extensive set of resources, including product specification sheets, test report summaries, product training information, and tooling instruction sheets, engineers will have all the tools to ensure Harwin’s connectors are designed correctly and easily.
