Gecko onnectors Introduction Gecko is a mm pitch High-Reliability connector range from Harwin. Improving on the popular 2mm pitch Datamate series, and harnessing the modern technology of micro-machining, this range brings the best of the high-reliability specifications to a smaller size. Gecko provides a low-profile, dual-row solution for all variations of cable-to-board, board-to-board and cable-to-cable interconnect requirements. With up to 50 contacts per connector, but still capable of 2A per contact, Gecko gives both significant weight and space-saving advantages over Micro-D connections. The Gecko range offers either latching connectors, for maximum weight and space-saving, or Screw-Lok connectors for maximum mating strain relief. GEKO 2A per contact (all electrically loaded; 2.8A per individual contact) 4-finger Patented* contact design to maintain electrical contact through high vibration and shock eryllium opper ontact for improved temperature range: -65 to +150 1,000 Mating cycles durability Weight and Space-saving over Micro-D connector products Future-proofed Materials - Halogen-free, PFOS-free, SVH-free and RoHS compliant Low outgassing properties - 0.68% TML, 0.01% VM, 0.26 WVR (Water Vapour Recovered) All P connectors available in Tape and Reel for automation *Granted US9017089, Pending G2501063, Pending EP2642604 Gecko Screw-Lok Gecko with Latches Strong stainless-steel screw fixings for maximum strain relief Lightweight hoods for additional cable protection and shielding Pre-wired contacts available for prototyping and pre-production The maximum weight and space saving, designed with lightweight robust latches for minimal P real estate Product range includes complete cable assemblies, ideal for prototyping and pre-production 18
Gecko onnectors Product Features GEKO Four Finger eryllium opper ontact Unique patented pending high-reliability contact design ensures signal integrity under extremes of bump, vibration and shock. Durable to over 1,000 mating cycles. Keyway Polarisation Points 3 polarising points on each component prevent mis-mating. No. 1 Position identified, Potting Wall Housings are clearly marked with identifier for fast visual inspection. able connectors feature a rear potting wall adding an extra level of strain relief. Packaged in Tape & Reel All connectors for P assembly are available packaged in industry standard Tape and Reel format for automated assembly. Gecko Screw-Lok - Robust Metal ackshells Lightweight aluminium hoods / backshells available for all connector sizes from stock. Supplied with tie-bands to attach external braiding for shielded cable assemblies. Gecko with Latches - Pre-assembled able onfigurations able connectors supplied in ready-made cable assemblies. Single and double-ended configurations available in standard lengths off-the-shelf, or custom assemblies on request. Gecko Screw-Lok - Maximum strain relief Fixings with 2mm screw thread for maximum board and connection retention or strain relief. Gecko with Latches - ombined Latching & P retention Optional latches allow simple and fast de-latching and require no special tooling. Solder tabs for SMT and barbs for P Tail versions ensure retention to the P. 19
