PCB Sockets
Individual Board Sockets, IC Connectors
Board-mounting sockets for individual placement or odd-form components. Using these sockets to mount other components or modules removes the risk of heat or mis-handling damage during the soldering process, and adds the flexibility of upgrading or field-replacement of worn out or damaged elements.
Turned Body Throughboard
A range of two-piece construction sockets – inner spring finger contact with outer shell. Using the same contacts as the Datamate and M300 connectors, proven high-reliability technology.
- Design to accept nominal mating pin sizes of Ø0.50mm, Ø0.80mm, Ø1.00mm or Ø2.00mm
- Proven 4-finger and 6-finger contact designs to maintain electrical contact through high vibration and shock
- Beryllium Copper Contact for improved temperature range: -55°C to +125°C
- Minimum of 500 mating cycles durability
- Variants include knurls for mechanical PCB retention, and open-ended sockets for longer pins
- Vertical construction, throughboard mounting
Stamped SMT Sockets
Harwin’s experience in connector design and SMT hardware products enabled the development of twin-beam and 3-beam contacts (SYCAMORE Contacts), designed to accommodate a wide pin range.
- Ultra-low profile on the PCB – maximum 0.43mm above the board
- Designs accommodate mating pins 0.80mm to 1.90mm, square or round
- Supplied in Tape and Reel packaging, ideally suited for high volume automated assembly
- SYCAMORE Contacts (3-Beam) made from Beryllium Copper for increased operating temperatures -50°C to +125°C
- Twin-beam made from high-quality Phosphor Bronze material for -40°C to +105°C operating temperatures
- Rated between 5 Amps and 9 Amps (design-dependent)
- Reduced component and machine placement costs
Horizontal Test Sockets
A selection of dual entry horizontal sockets with insulating housings, that accept Ø2.03mm test probes.
- 5 Amps, 1,500V
- Color-coded options available in the Throughboard style
- Surface Mount version available in Tape and Reel packaging for automated assembly
- Double-ended entry design
IC Sockets, Modular Socket and Header Strip
A selection of legacy 2.54mm pitch turned socket and header connectors.
- Single Row Throughboard Socket strip, accepts mating pins Ø0.40 to 0.56mm.
- Single Row Throughboard header strip, with Ø0.69mm mating pins.
- Dual Row IC Socket throughboard range – 6 to 64 contact, with row pitches at 7.62mm (0.3″), 10.16mm (0.4″), 15.24mm (0.6″) and 22.86mm (0.9″).
