Modern optronic mast systems rely on multiple high-performance sensors to deliver clear situational awareness in all-light and all-weather conditions.
To support multi-spectral imaging within a fixed mast diameter, connector solutions must be compact, reliable, and proven for long-term defense programs.
Harwin’s Gecko-SL ultra-compact connectors are engineered to meet these challenges, enabling secure multi-signal connectivity without increasing system size.
Gecko-SL connectors are ideal for space-critical defense electronics, including:
Optronic mast systems
Multi-spectral camera assemblies (Visible & SWIR)
Compact electronic modules with high signal density
Optronic mast systems integrate multiple sensors—such as 4K visible cameras and SWIR imaging modules—within a constrained mechanical envelope.
Because mast dimensions are fixed, designers must maximize signal density while maintaining reliability under harsh naval operating conditions.
This places strict demands on connector size, signal integrity, and long-term availability.
System designers require a connector solution that can:
Support multiple signals in a limited PCB footprint
Maintain reliable performance in harsh defense environments
Resist vibration and mechanical stress
Ensure long-term availability for extended defense programs
Harwin’s Gecko-SL connectors deliver high-reliability performance in a compact form factor:
Ultra-compact design for dense PCB layouts
High-reliability performance for defense and naval systems
Supports multiple signals within minimal space
Secure mating for vibration-resistant applications
Designed for long-term availability programs
Discover how Gecko-SL connectors deliver compact, reliable connectivity for demanding applications.
