Connector aimed at simplifying drive operation
The new PG 13.5-M20 panel feedthrough system is the latest addition to the Harax range of rapid termination products, specifically aimed at simplifying the installation of devices such as drives
Die-cast brackets offer a large solder area on each side of the connector to add significant physical mounting resiliency.
In addition, they control the centre of gravity to ensure perfect stability of the connector throughout the reflow solder process.
The insulator includes two zero-insertion-force positioning pegs to maintain reliability in pick-and-place mounting operations, which is also aided by the inclusion of a large flat surface for a vacuum pipette.
The connector uses riveted nuts which are designed so that their square rear side is inserted into a matching square hole in the brackets, thus ensuring long-term retention.
The surface-mount D-sub range includes 9- and 15-pole versions which are delivered in 120-piece reels.
For larger sises, packaging will be to customer equipments.
The range includes 9 to 25 positions, standard angled, with a large choice of mounting hardware.
Performance levels 2 and 3 are available as standard; other requirements can be supplied to meet customer needs.
A low profile range combining the same features and benefits is planned for release in the future.
