Is tailored to the market demand for screw-less rapid termination technology and economical processing for electronic assemblies

The HARTING Technology Group is expanding its portfolio for industrial device connectivity with PCB terminals and connectors.  All products have been designed for SMT and reflow soldering processes as well as for automatic loading using established pick-and-place processes.  The har-flexicon^® series is tailored to market demands for screw-less rapid termination technology and economical processing for electronic assemblies. The trend towards more and more compact devices is encountered in all markets and applications. And this trend is leading to increasing miniaturization of PCB connectors and greater contact density, while still retaining the familiar ease of use and proven robustness.

At electronica 2012 HARTING already showed an extremely miniaturized and field-installable SMD PCB connector with 1.27-mm pitch from the har-flexicon^® family for the miniaturization of industrial devices. At this year's Hannover Messe, new SMD PCB terminals and connectors with 2.54-mm spacing follow for the requirements for single strand wiring in measurement, control and feedback technology. Rigid and flexible conductors with cross-sections from 0.14 - 0.5 mm² are contacted simply and quickly with push-in spring force termination technology. Straight and angled components with from 2 to 12 positions are available for the PCB. For cross-sections up to 2.5 mm² reflow products with push-in spring force termination technology with a pitch of 3.50/3.81 mm and 5.00/5.08 mm are available as PCB terminals and PCB connectors
