Harwin Datamate J-Tek & Gecko FPC Cable Assemblies

Harwin Datamate J-Tek and Gecko Flexible Printed Circuits (FPC) Cable Assemblies offer low-profile connections, with denser PCB stack, or space for other devices over the board. The Datamate J-Tek and Gecko FPC cable assemblies feature stainless steel locking screws or latching to ensure reliability with a strong and secure connection. Datamate J-Tek and Gecko high-reliability cable assemblies can operate at a temperature ranging from -65°C to +150°C. These high-reliability cable assemblies support 1A per contact on 1mm pitch FPC and 0.4A on 0.5mm pitch FPC for good signal capacity in a compact alternative cable. Typical applications include aviation, motorsport, electric vehicles, space, defense, and security.

Features

  • 4-finger beryllium copper signal contact:
    • Signal integrity is assured under heavy vibration
  • Additional designs available upon request:
    • Easily integrate ready-made assemblies and avoid tooling and process costs
  • Low profile connection:
    • Denser PCB stacking possible, or space for other devices over the board
  • Shock (100G) and vibration (up to 20G) proof:
    • Maintain electrical contact in harsh environments
  • Stainless steel locking screws or latching:
    • Ensure reliability with a strong and secure connection
