Harting D-sub SMT connectors

Harting has added a series of rectangular D-sub SMT connectors to its range, allowing users to employ both the reflow process and the standard vacuum pick-and-place systems.

The design has been optimised with a view to a reliable processing and a long service life. For example, the SMT terminals’ coplanarity is a maximum 0.1 mm. The black moulding simplifies camera recognition, and the large, level surface is suitable for use with 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 stability during mating.

The connectors are available in both standard and low-profile versions with nine to 37 contacts and are supplemented with a large selection of screws in M3 or 4-40 UNC.
