Harwin launches secure, space-saving Gecko Screw-Lok 1.25mm pitch connector for harsh environment applications
Smiths Connectors introduces Silmat elastomeric test sockets: a highly reliable high speed semiconductor test solution
S
miths Connectors, a worldwide leading provider of high performance interconnect solutions for demanding applications, has
announced the availability of Silmat elastomeric test sockets, specifically targeted for digital high speed and PoP (package on package) test applications.
Smiths Connectors’ Silmat elastomeric test sockets bring to market an advanced, low profile contact technology
A
brand new evolution of the award-winning Gecko 1.25mm pitch
connector series was launched at electronica from Harwin, the leading hi-rel connector and SMT board hardware manufacturer. Gecko (G125 series) connectors are low- profile, dual row cable-to- board and board-to-board interconnects which save PCB real estate and weight in high reliability applications. Developed to meet customer demand, the new Gecko Screw-Lok Series features ruggedised screw fixings for increased security and can withstand repeated mating cycles without damage. Up to 45 per cent smaller than Micro-D connectors and up to 75 per cent lighter, Gecko SL delivers high reliability with a smaller footprint and increased flexibility for design engineers. Gecko-SL connectors feature
Harwin’s patented single piece 4-finger beryllium copper female contact - the heart of the whole Gecko product family – 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. Gecko SL connectors are available in female and

enhanced by best-in-class design engineering and test development practices, which provide customers with a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving semiconductor test industry. Silmat sockets ensure an extremely short signal path enabling stable contact resistance, low inductance and a high frequency bandwidth of -1dB @ 40 GHz. Composed of a patented core elastomer
technology and contact set, Silmat sockets feature a single component set enabling reduced maintenance and tester downtime through quicker changeovers. The sockets also provide long life (over 500K cycles), high durability and over 4 amp current- carrying capacity.

LEMO and LEMO-owned specialist cable manufacturer, Northwire, introduces the Redel SP Connector and the BioCompatic cable
L
male vertical through-hole and surface- mount variants.
Gecko SL contacts are rated to 2.8A individually, 2.0A for all contacts simultaneously. Able to withstand 1,000 mating cycles, they are ideal for long life or “fit and forget” applications, in operational temperatures of -65degC to +150degC. Gecko SL connectors are rated to withstand 20g vibration and Z axis 100g 6m/s shock, with no discontinuity greater than 1µs, Z axis 100g. Gecko SL connectors 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.

EMO’s new addition to the lightweight REDEL plastic push-pull connector series, the SP, has the
patented internal push-pull latching system embedded in the shell offering increased durability and very high contact density.
Constructed with proprietary sulfone the REDEL SP connector can withstand extensive sterilisation cycles. It is available with multiple contact configurations in a variety of colours giving instant visual identification avoiding cross mating. An ergonomic grip incorporated in the shell design aids surgeons and medical staff to mate and align the connections making the LEMO REDEL SP connectors an ideal solution for medical or measurement applications. The BioCompatic cable is a durable
approved alternative to a silicone-jacket cable manufactured from robust materials suited for life science applications. Unlike traditional silicone cables, Northwire’s innovative solutions are available with heavily reduced lead times. While BioCompatic retains the advantages of traditional silicone jacketing such as biocompatibility and sterilisation resistance, it is not limited to medical usage. The material’s unique
features lends itself to a diverse range of extreme engineering applications. These cables are multicore with AWG 36 – 2, minimum 2 cores and are also available as custom cables, retractiles, and assemblies.
