Introduction
har-flex® connectors
With har-flex®, HARTING has developed a general-purpose PCB
connector series for internal and external Device Connectivity. The
continuous scalability by an even number of contacts, i.e. from 6
to 100, of the HARTING‘s har-flex® mezzanine connector series is a
special feature forming an ideal basis for customized applications.
The advantage is clearly evident considering that the connector is
always optimized to suit specific applications on the device PCB,
while also covering the medium- and small-scale volume range that is
typical for the production of industrial devices.
This flexibility is new – HARTING turns an individual design into a
standard component. No special tooling changes are needed for
customer-specific solutions, thus HARTING can realize a short
delivery time.
Product diversity
The har-flex® product range with SMT termination technology is
based on a 1.27 mm grid. With its diverse variants, HARTING provides
connectivity solutions for many different board-to-board and cable-
to-board applications. For example, two straight connectors are used
for the mezzanine application, two angled connectors for PCBs on
one level, and a combination allows the well-known pairing of mother
and daughter cards. By using the IDC cable connector, two PCBs with
large space between can be connected with a flat ribbon cable.
