Overview
Harwin Kona 8.5mm-Pitch High-Reliability Power Connectors are designed for extreme conditions, allow up to 60A continuous current per contact, and withstand 250 mating cycles. The connectors feature gold-plated beryllium copper contacts, come in multiple types, and include thumbscrews for easy fitting.
High-End Features with Easy Installation in Power Systems
The Harwin Kona 8.5mm-Pitch High-Reliability Power Connectors come in various types and designs. These connectors support cable-to-board and cable-to-cable connections for 2-, 3-, and 4-pin contacts. The contacts feature a 6-finger berylium copper contact design.
The contacts are fully gold-plated, reducing wear and tear from continuous use and enhancing connector durability.
To strengthen connections, each connector comes with quick-mating screw fixings. The stainless steel mate-before-lock thumbscrews secure steadily to boards and other mating cables. Each male and female contact is individually shrouded and recommended to be used with UL-rated silicon 8AWG wire.
Wide-Ranging Applications for Reliable Contact and Current Supply
The Harwin Kona 8.5mm-pitch power connectors offer secure and reliable connectivity across a wide range of systems where continuous connectivity is a high priority. In the aviation sector, these systems are useful in power control systems, in-cabin services, navigation, and flight systems.
Likewise, these connectors provide reliable options for battery monitoring systems in electric vehicles, which are pivotal in motorsport, auxiliary system power supplies, and ERS control and supply mechanisms.
In space systems, Harwin Kona connectors can be used in launch systems due to their high-temperature bearing abilities. They contribute to satellite communication systems, power supplies, and CubeSats and offer low outgassing properties.
In industrial setups, Harwin Kona connectors can be used in servo control systems, robotic drives, and power units, ensuring an uninterrupted supply of digital and analog signals.
High-End Specifications Tailored for Durability in Extreme Industrial Environments
The Harwin Kona 8.5mm-pitch connectors are designed to withstand harsh industrial environments. The contacts are beryllium copper and gold-plated, which enhances their longevity. These contacts can withstand temperatures from -65 to +150 degrees Celsius, which makes them a useful option for high-current applications in the power electronics sector.
The connectors can handle up to 60A per contact and have a rated working voltage of 1500V. Moreover, they can reach 3000V (AC), offering a minimal resistance of 2mΩ.
The connectors offer high durability, providing reliable connections for 250 mating cycles. The connector housing also allows them to bear up to 100 G shock, plus vibration resistance of 20 G for board-to-cable mating and 10 G for cable-to-cable mating.
