Harwin Datamate cable assemblies

In order to provide users with simple plug-and-play solutions, Harwin has introduced a range of off-the-shelf cable assemblies to accompany its Datamate series of connector components.

Supplied in single- or double-ended format, with a set cable length of 150 mm, the assemblies are designed to give companies the quick and trouble-free access they need to the cabling without having to rely on their own in-house resources or invest in a custom-built arrangement. The assemblies cover both signal (Datamate J-Tek/L-Tek) and power (Datamate Mix-Tek) configurations and are particularly suited to one-off prototyping work or small-batch projects.

The assemblies are produced in accordance with the IPC-A-620 standard concerning wire harnesses and cabling. They are given rigorous electrical testing and go through a comprehensive inspection process both during and after production.

The cables used are PTFE insulated. The signal cables come with 24 AWG gauge equipment wire while the power cables are provided with either 10 or 12 AWG gauge wire, with 40 or 20 A current supported.

Ongoing interconnect robustness is exhibited in the form of resilience to shock (100G for 6 ms), vibration (10G for 6 h, 2 h/axis) and extreme temperatures (-55 to +125°C). Furthermore, the ready-made assemblies can cope with up to 500 mating cycles. Consequently, they are rugged enough for deployment in challenging environments, including space, avionics, industrial drives/controls, robotics and motorsport.
