Harwin’s Gecko range has been expanded to include screw fixings variations, known as Gecko Screw-Lok (or Gecko-SL). Developed to meet customer demand, the series features ruggedised screw fixings for increased security and can withstand repeated mating cycles without damage. Up to 45% smaller than Micro-D connectors and up to 75% lighter, Gecko-SL delivers high reliability with a smaller footprint and increased flexibility for design engineers.
The connectors feature patented single piece 4-finger beryllium copper female contacts and withstand high vibration, shock and extremes of temperature, ensuring optimum electrical performance and durability under harsh conditions. Robust stainless steel fixing hardware provides corrosion resistance against salt spray and humidity.
Gecko-SL connectors have captive screws with hex socket heads to prevent slipping during assembly and a ‘mate before lock’ feature for fast assembly and increased usability. Strain relief is ensured through board mount fixings. Further features include identification of the No. 1 position for fast visual inspection. The connectors are available in female and male vertical through-hole and surface-mount variants.
Contacts are rated to 2,8 A individually and 2,0 A for all contacts simultaneously. Able to withstand 1000 mating cycles, they are ideal for long life or ‘fit and forget’ applications, in operational temperatures of -65°C to +150°C. Gecko-SL connectors are rated to withstand 20 G vibration and Z axis 100 G 6 m/s shock, with no discontinuity greater than 1 µs, Z axis 100 G. They are manufactured from environmentally friendly materials and are lead, phosphate and halogen free.
Shielded options with machined aluminium backshells are available to deliver enhanced electrical continuity and effective EMI/RFI shielding in affected applications. The backshells are designed to accommodate flexible metal braiding and are strong and lightweight. Flexible cabling options include complete cable harnesses in customised lengths, loose mouldings and pre-crimped wires, and loose mouldings and crimp contacts.
