Application:
Defense sub-sea sonar power amplifier modules.

Background:
The customer manufactures units for active sonar installations onboard ship and submarine systems. Modules must be able to withstand vibration and long service times typical of marine defense applications.

The Challenge:
Multiple board-to-cable connections are required to perform under demanding circumstances, carrying both power and signal current around the various integrated PCBs.

Harwin Solution:
Datamate Mix-Tek 2mm pitch (signal) and 4mm pitch (power/coaxial) high-reliability connectors have a proven record for performance in rugged defense environments. The range offers multiple current carrying capacity with 3A signal, 20A power, 40A high power and 50Ω coax contact options in one compact housing. Providing maximum design flexibility for different PCB requirements.
