Harwin Datamate shielded connectors

Harwin says its 2 mm Datamate hi-rel connector family is now available with single-piece, machined metal backshells that provide electrical screening against RFI and EMI interference.

Manufactured in aluminium alloy and nickel plated for electrical performance and corrosion resistance, when used in conjunction with the relevant J-Tek connectors and metal braid, the backshells ensure full 360° electrical shielding.

Designed to attach to a wide variety of standard metallic braids, the backshells enable the shield braid to be connected through the backshell to the PCB ground plane.

Available in female cable-to-PCB-mount and female cable-to-panel-mount configurations in a range of sizes including 6, 10, 14, 20 and 26 positions, the backshells also provide design flexibility.

Delivering 55/125/56 (-55 to +125°C, 56-day damp heat steady state) performance levels, the backshells are mechanically strong and easily assembled. The J-Tek connectors also feature jackscrews for added mating security.
