Application:
Brushless Motor Controller Unit for Humanoid robotics.

Background:
Advanced robotics programme to validate technology for use in several robotics applications including patient rehab, humanoid walking robot and search and rescue.

The Challenge:
Customer required high density combined with high power (up to 80 A peak). Also having mate-before-lock and fast mating/unmating operations was key due to large number of connectors on board.

Harwin Solution:
Customer upgraded the power pins and locking mechanism in second generation design to 6X Datamate high-power connectors.

Application:
Compact power supply for AESA Radar system used in large naval vessels for threat tracking.

Background:
Customer contacted Harwin to find a drop in replacement for panel mount hybrid connectors.

The Challenge:
Competitor was originally designed-in but customer sought more stable supply chain and better lead-times.

Harwin Solution:
Datamate Mix-Tek SMT power and signal connectors up to 20A reduced the stack height while delivering good power performance.

Application:
Battery Management System.

Background:
New design for civil UAV to scan industrial areas – Perimeter security, Thermal mapping, leak detection, emergency response and structural inspection.

The Challenge:
Size Weight and Power from commercially available (CoTS) technology. Reliability was also key as this formed part of a Safety Critical System (SCS).

Harwin Solution:
Datamate Mix-Tek with high power contacts – up to 40A.

Gas Meter

Application:
In-home metering.

Background:
Designed for the Netherlands’ market, units are installed in-home with strict RF attenuation profile requirements.

The Challenge:
Customer required an EMC solution of clips and cans for a low profile, space constrained area.

Harwin Solution:
Micro shield clips and low profile cans.

Application:
Remote control system for heavy industrial machinery – Diggers, Trucks, Ships etc.

Background:
Customer was looking to move away from bulky, less durable industrial connectors and reduce the number of PCBs in their system.

The Challenge:
High-Durability, small size and shock resistance were all key factors. Achieving this and keeping process costs low was critical to the project.

Harwin Solution:
M225 High-Durability connectors offered 100G shock protection. Contacts can be automatically crimped removing costly manual processes that are normally associated with this level of performance.

Application:
Lighting control unit for Jet fighter aircraft.

Background:
Unit dedicated to control interior lighting system on-board fighter aircraft.

The Challenge:
Densely packed unit resulted in very little space between boards. Components had to be low profile to allow assembly and avoid damage.

Harwin Solution:
Small size latched SMT connector for 90 degree orientation, with mating cable connector.
