Harwin adds Datamate cable assemblies

By Gina Roos, editor-in-chief

Harwin has launched a range of off-the-shelf cable assemblies for its Datamate series of high reliability connectors. The cable assemblies provide designers with a complete plug-and-play solution, eliminating the need to develop solutions in-house or outsource more expensive custom products.

The cable assemblies are supplied in a single- or double-ended format, with a cable length of 150 mm (6 in.). The PTFE-insulated cables are available in both signal (Datamate J-Tek/L-Tek) and power (Datamate Mix-Tek) configurations. The signal cables come with 24 AWG equipment wire, while the power cables are provided with either 10 AWG or 12 AWG wire, with 40 A or 20 A current supported.

Each assembly is produced in accordance with the IPC-A-620 standard for wire harnesses and cabling. They undergo rigorous electrical testing and a comprehensive inspection process both during and after production.

The cable assemblies with Datamate connectors withstand shock (100 G for 6 ms), vibration (10 G for 6 hours, 2 hours/axis), and high temperatures (-55°C to 125°C). They also offer a up to 500 mating cycles. Applications include space, avionics, industrial drives/controls, robotics, and motorsport.

The assemblies, suited for one-off prototyping work or small-batch projects, are available direct from stock from Mouser Electronics.
