Harwin: metal backshells with built-in shielding
Harwin now supplies a comprehensive range of backshells with a rugged aluminium alloy construction and electroless nickel plating to complement its Datamate wire-to-board connector offering.
Through these accessories, which can be applied to new installations or alternatively for carrying out mid production modifications, engineers are able to add increased levels of mechanical robustness, as well as providing the necessary EMI/RFI protection.
A working temperature range spanning from -55°C to +125°C is supported.
The new Harwin backshells can be used in conjunction with both the company’s J-Tek and its Mix-Tek Datamate connector product lines – with signal, power and coax cabling all being accommodated.
The combined Datamate/backshell assemblies are significantly lower in overall cost than equivalent Micro-D/backshell arrangements.
Among the key areas where these items will be employed are aerospace, motorsport, industrial drives/controls, military communication, satellite systems, robotics and renewable energy infrastructure.
