Harting D-Sub SMT connectors with straight surface mounts

Click2Contact

Harting has announced the launch of a range of straight D-Sub SMT connectors to complement its established angled product portfolio.

The series offers an optimised design that ensures a high level of dependability and optimal processing characteristics. It enables surface mounting, thus simplifying PCB assembly significantly and broadening its range of applications.

100% co-planarity is achieved through the use of stamped contacts and the specially designed insulator. The product is robust and capable of withstanding all normal handling processes.

Two variants are available: a connector for standard applications with flat, solderable pads to withstand plug-in and withdrawal forces; and a variant for more demanding requirements with a solderable assembly pin in addition to the flat pads.

The black insulator, which is designed for improved camera detection, includes two positioning pegs for improved pick-and-place process reliability. Also included is a large removable cover for a 10 mm vacuum pipette.

All connectors are available with nine to 37 contacts and are supplied with the option of M3 and 4-40 UNC threaded inserts and fixed female screw locks. Performance level 2 and 3 are standard, and PL1 can be delivered on request.

In addition to 140-piece reels suitable for automatic assembly, the items can be delivered in other special packaging depending on user requirements.
