connectivity solutions.
The portfolio is backed by Cypress’ commitment to
zero defects, excellent service and adherence to the
most stringent industry standards, such as the ISO/TS
16949 quality management system, the Automotive
Electronics Council (AEC) guidelines for ICs and the
Production Part Approval Process (PPAP).
Rugged 50Ohm Multiport Coaxial
Connectors & Pre-Assembled Cables
Harwin continues to strengthen its portfolio of
interconnect solutions designed for implementation in
harsh application environments with new additions to
its flagship Datamate high reliability connector (Hi-Rel)
product family. With the objective of addressing space-
constrained RF/wireless designs, each member of the
Datamate Coax series comprises multiple (ganged)
coaxial contacts in a compact housing. As they provide
access to numerous coaxial lines through a single
connection point, these components present engineers
with a highly convenient, space efficient and cost effective
way to address diverse connectivity requirements.
Featuring 2, 4, 6 and 8 contact options, the contacts
contained within each Datamate Coax connector are
arranged into single or double ended jack formats with
4.00mm pitch. They deliver strong RF performance
characteristics up to frequencies of 6GHz. The
connectors inherently robust construction means that
they can cope with high levels of shock (100G) and
vibration (10G/200Hz), plus extreme temperatures
(-55ֲ°C to +125ֲ°C).
Among the key application areas for the space-
saving, heavy duty Datamate Coax connector series
are avionics, radar, robotics, industrial automation,
military and medical, as well as general wireless
communications. Benefitting from the technical expertise
of Harwin’s engineering team and the companys
proven track record in a broad range of challenging
Hi-Rel application scenarios, the accompanying cable
assemblies ensure long term operational integrity while
mitigating the related tooling costs that OEMs face
when carrying out this work in house. The cable lengths
available are 150mm, 300mm and 450mm.
“In most cases OEM engineers simply don’t have the
time or resources to create their own bespoke cable
assemblies for the new products they are developing.
Sourcing tooling and putting it in place for small
prototype batches is not always convenient in the early
stages of the project. Also coax cables tend to be time
consuming, and such activities need a great deal of care
and attention, states Scott Flower, Product Strategy
Manager for High-Rel products at Harwin. “As Harwin
maintains a high degree of vertical integration, we are
able to address these issues directly – providing superior
quality, ready-to-use cabling solutions that enable our
customers to get through the prototyping phase much
quicker and thus move on to full scale production.”
