HARWIN J-Tek & Gecko FPC Assemblies | New Product Brief

HARWIN J-Tek & Gecko FPC Assemblies

Harwin Datamate J-Tek and Gecko Flex Printed Circuit Assemblies are a low-profile alternative to standard cable connectors that allow designers to stack PCBs closer together. 

Options include 2mm pitch Datamate J-Tek connectors on a 1mm pitch FPC or 1.25mm pitch Gecko connectors on a 0.5mm pitch FPC. FPC assemblies also offer a much tighter bend radius than comparable cable assemblies, further reducing spacing concerns. The assemblies rated for operation from -65°C to +150°C. 

They’re shock and vibration proof and have stainless steel locking screws or latching to ensure a secure connection, with 4 finger Beryllium Copper contacts to ensure signal integrity even under high vibration. Single- and double-ended assemblies are available, and the assemblies are rated for up to 1A per track.
