Harwin Gecko Screw-Lok Connectors

Author : Harwin Published Time : 2016-12-05
Harwin Gecko Screw-Lok (Gecko-SL) Connectors feature ruggedized screw fixings for increased security and withstand repeated mating cycles without damage. These connectors are up to 45% smaller and up to 75% lighter than Micro-D connectors. Harwin Gecko-SL connectors feature a patented single-piece four-finger beryllium copper contact. These connectors withstand high vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures, ensuring durable performance under harsh conditions. Robust stainless steel fixing hardware resists corrosion from salt spray and humidity. Gecko-SL connectors include captive screws with Hex socket heads to prevent slipping during assembly. A mate-before-lock feature provides fast assembly and increased usability. Gecko-SL connectors offer female and male vertical through-hole and surface-mount versions. Gecko-SL contacts are rated to 2.8A individually and 2.0A for all contacts simultaneously.
