All In One Ventilator

Archer- Compact Connectors Supporting Life-Saving Technology

Product in Action: All-In-One Ventilator Unit

Harwin’s Archer series offers compact, high-reliability board and cable connectors trusted in demanding environments — including critical medical systems.

Within this range, the Archer IDC connectors are featured in a modular ventilator unit with built-in screen, designed to stay with the patient through attendance, transport, and ward transfers. These IDC solutions provide flat, flexible cable connections, essential for space-saving layouts and consistent performance in life-support applications.

Features

1.27mm Compact Pitch: Ideal for space-constrained designs like ventilator modules.
High Contact Density: Available in configurations up to 40 contacts.
Secure Mating: Dual-row socket and pin header system with optional latches for vibration resistance.
Flexible Mounting Options: Surface mount (SMT), through-hole (THT), and low-profile IDC ribbon cable support.
Durability: Supports up to 500 mating cycles — essential for maintenance and module replacement.
