Harwin launches new Pogo Pin contacts and


new range of SMT contact pads at EDS 2016 Spring-loaded pins suit multiple applications including wearables; new gold finish S70 SMT contact pads prolong device life


Harwin, the leading hi-rel connector and SMT board hardware manufacturer, is launching a new range of surface-mount vertical Pogo Pin spring contacts at the Electronic Design Show in Coventry. Pogo Pin connectors have multiple applications, including wearable medical and fitness devices, mobile phones, car stereos, and notebook and tablet computers. Also being launched at the show are Harwin’s new range of multi-purpose S70 Surface Mount flat contact pads which can be used with the new Pogo Pin contacts, as well as other spring contacts and spring contact assemblies.


Harwin Pogo Pins are surface mountable vertical spring-loaded contact pins which can mate with any surface. Featuring rounded contact heads with a gold


finish which maximises device life, they have a free height from 2.4mm to 8.2mm and are also available as a selection of multi-contact connectors in 2, 3, 4 or 5 contact configurations and as individual pins in two barrel sizes, 1.03mm diameter or 1.50mm diameter. The range includes Pogo Pin spring contacts with a through-hole peg which can be used for Plated-Through-Hole soldering or as a location peg on the SMT base. The individual Pogo Pins have barbs for retention in mouldings, which enables multiple contacts to be “ganged” together, enabling customers to create bespoke layouts.

Infineon’s scalable iMOTION platform for


designing motor drives now at Mouser Mouser Electronics, Inc. is now stocking the iMOTION™ Modular Application Design Kit (MADK) platform from Infineon Technologies. The iMOTION MADK is a compact and flexible evaluation system that provides a scalable design platform for three-phase motor drives ranging from 20W to 300W. With the iMOTION MADK, design engineers can quickly create a fully functional motor system, reducing design time and effort and speeding time to market.


The Infineon iMOTION MADK platform is a modular and scalable system solution available from Mouser Electronics as four full-featured kits. Each kit includes a control board with Segger J-Link debug interface, a complete power stage including rectifier, and an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter. Using the iMotion platform’s standardized M1 Interface, engineers can combine different power boards with the control board for maximum flexibility and scalability during the evaluation and development phase at a lower cost. In addition to the iMOTION kits, Mouser also stocks separate power boards, as well as controller boards based on the Infineon XMC1302 ARM® Cortex®-M0 microcontroller or the iMOTION IRMCK099 digital motion control IC with integrated Motor Control Engine (MCE).
