Seat Rest Control

Seat Rest Control

Application:
In-cabin passenger comfort systems.

Background:
Highly reliable connection required to connect the seat rest control to the cord sending positioning signals back to the seat. Subject to consumer handling.

The Challenge:
The connection would be under general cabin vibration levels, but also shock and pull from user handling to retrieve the handset from its docked position, pulling on the cable.

Harwin Solution:
Gecko-SL Horizontal was a timely solution – the customer is now specifying the horizontal connection in the unit, and using Gecko-SL metal backshells to provide added strain relief and production.

 

Multi-purpose Reflex Weapon Sight

Multi-purpose Reflex Weapon Sight

Application:
Optical sight and laser range finder.

Background:
Customer is looking for an alternative trusted supplier for compact hi-rel connectors to be used inside their small arms-mounted sights.

The Challenge:
Product must be small and light as the sights are hand-carried mounted on a rifle. High-reliability and secure mechanical fixings are also necessary.

Harwin Solution:
Gecko connectors, both board mounted and ready-made cable assemblies. Horizontal Gecko-SL addition to the range expected to bring further design wins.
