Heart of the Connector
The compact design of a 2mm pitch connector, the current capacity of a power connector, the global availability of a product range stocked in depth, the established high-reliability of a COTS connector system. Datamate T-Contact increases the connector range of choice in many demanding applications on land, sea and air.

Datamate is a focus product for Harwin, and is undergoing an active development program. The Cable Assembly Service is available for this range as a value-added service – contact us for more information.
