🧩 Proven in C Band Antenna Systems
In a satellite C Band antenna system, the customer faced a complex BOM with multiple cables and needed a unified connection type for all cable-to-board links. The outdoor nature of the system added exposure risks to temperature and humidity.

Why Datamate J-Tek was selected:
🔹 Unified connection system across cable variations
🔹 Extended height allowed more space for internal components
🔹 High resistance to environmental factors
🔹 Reliable mechanical retention for field longevity

Product Range

Available in 10, 20, and 30 contact counts
Gold/Tin or Full Gold finish options
Compatible accessories for strain relief
Fully matched with M80 male connectors

Summary

Harwin’s Datamate J-Tek Extended Height connectors bring flexibility and reliability to complex, space-constrained designs. With trusted environmental resilience, rugged construction, and full system compatibility, this solution is a perfect fit for mission-critical systems where every millimeter—and every connection—counts.
