Harting has introduced a series of rectangular D-Sub SMT connectors, which offer a high level of ruggedness and reliability for use with modern production processes including reflow soldering and vacuum pick-and-place systems.
The design of the connectors has been optimised with a view to reliable processing and a long service life. Key features include the SMT terminals, which have a coplanarity of 0.1 mm, the use of black mouldings to simplify camera recognition, and the large, level surface which is ideal for use with common pick-and-place vacuum nozzles.
The open terminal area makes it possible to inspect the soldered connection and also improves heat dissipation. The cast-iron bases, each of which can withstand tensile forces of more than 500 N, ensure stableness during mating.
The units are available in both standard and low-profile versions with 9 to 37 contacts and are supplemented with a large selection of screws in M3 or 4-40 UNC sizes. The devices are delivered on reels as standard, although tray packaging is available on request.
