Harwin increases design choices and
production flexibility with extensions to 1.27mm,
2mm and 2.54mm pitch connector ranges
Harwin has extended the number of models available in
its highly successful Industry Standard Connector ranges,
including Harwin’s Archer M50 (1.27mm pitch), M22
(2mm pitch) and M20 (2.54mm pitch) interconnects. The
range extensions bring greatly increased choice to design
engineers, with the extended product offerings adding new
orientations, different connector pin counts and soldering
methods. Harwin expanded its choice of connection
systems to suit an increased variety of PCB layouts and
offer customers more flexibility. Additionally, all of the new
surface mount connectors are available supplied in Tape
& Reel packaging, for use with automated pick and place
assembly.
SMT and Throughboard additions
Harwin’s Archer M50 connectors, based on 1.27mm pitch,
now include a complete range of single-row pin headers and
sockets, both available in through-board and surface mount
options. The M22, 2mm pitch Industry Standard range has
been extended with the addition of single and double row
SMT horizontal sockets, plus a double row vertical SMT
pin header with location legs for precise board placement.
Harwin’s extended M20, 2.54mm pitch Industry Standard
Connector range has seen the addition of single and double
row SMT horizontal sockets, a double row vertical SMT pin
header with location pegs, plus a low-profile dual-entry
vertical SMT socket.
Variety of Applications
There are applications across many markets for the new
model variants, including: industrial drives, transformers
and control systems; test & measurement equipment;
navigation systems and marine displays; IoT applications
such as smart meters, sensors and tracking. LED light
strips also benefit from the increased design and production
flexibility of these new Harwin interconnects.
Industry Standard
All Harwin’s Industry Standard Connectors conform to
current conventions for pin header and socket systems,
backed by Harwin’s renowned reputation, ensuring
confidence in quality, confidence in supply (all ranges are
stocked throughout the Harwin global network) and full
technical support, including fast turnaround of samples on
request.
COM modules with 7th generation Intel Core
processors
The new Kaby Lake processors are manufactured in 14
nm technology, as the former 6th generation Intel® Core™
processors, and have a similar architecture but are optimised
for higher performance at the same level of power dissipation.
The MSC C6C-KLU and MSC C6B-KLH module families are
partly available with Intel® Celeron® and Xeon® processors
as well. Designed and manufactured by MSC Technologies (an
Avnet Company) in Germany, these COM Express™ modules
offer at least a 7-year lifecycle from the date of introduction.
The powerful MSC C6C-KLU COM Express™ modules in
the Compact form factor of 95 mm x 95 mm have a typical
power consumption between 17W and 19W and are suited
for compact high-end embedded systems. The operating
temperature ranges from 0° to 60°C. Avnet Embedded offers
four variants with the dual-core processors Intel® Core™ i7-
7600U, i5-7300U, i3-7100U, and Intel® Celeron® 3965U.
The on-chip Intel® HD Graphics Gen. 9 supports DirectX®
12, OpenGL 4.4., and OpenCL 2x. Hardware-based graphics
acceleration and video encoding/decoding complete the
feature list. Three independent displays with up to 4k x 2k
resolution can be connected. The modules can be equipped
