Harwin has expanded its range of Datamate high-reliability connectors with the new L-Tek SIL (single-in-line) male crimp-contact connector. The SIL design provides a narrow profile, which enables the connector to fit into small spaces. The product's low weight makes it well suited for use in airborne and portable applications. Datamate 2-mm-pitch connectors provide military-level performance at industrial prices. Datamate L-Tek SIL male crimp-contact connectors feature gold-plated contacts capable of carrying 3 A per contact. Devices are available in unlatched, latched, or friction latch versions. The latched versions provide additional mating security. Available with 2 to 7 contacts for use with either 24 to 28 AWG or 22 AWG wires, Datamate L-Tek SIL male crimp-contact connectors complement the L-Tek product family and enable SIL cable-to-cable and cable-to-board configurations. The male connectors mate with the existing L-Tek SIL female cable connector M80-898 & M80-899 series (cable-to-cable) and the L-Tek SIL female vertical PCB connector M80-840 & M80-790 series (cable-to-PCB). New narrow SIL Datamate connectors can withstand high vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures, making them especially suitable for aerospace, industrial, military, and medical applications. Harwin
