Sycamore Contacts
Maximize the life of your PCB by making your sensors and modules replaceable items. Use the triple contact design of Harwin’s Sycamore Contact to provide robustness and signal continuity superior to two-point contact systems.
The socket is made from a single piece of gold-plated metal to reduce contact resistance and provide a secure surface mount connection. Contacts are supplied in tape and reel to ensure your operational costs are kept under control.
Choose from top or bottom entry and compatibility with mating pins of either Ø1mm or Ø1.5mm diameter, all with an ultra-low above-PCB height of 0.43mm maximum. These sockets are open-ended, so mating pins length is not limited. Ideal for your application in domestic or commercial gas detection systems, fire alarms or metering systems.
