Harwin Gecko SL Connectors are 1.25mm pitch interconnects designed for cable-to-board, board-to-board, and cable-to-cable configurations. The SL connectors use gold-plated beryllium copper contacts, providing a current capacity of 2A per contact in a compact design. These connectors incorporate stainless steel screw-lok hardware that ensures secure connection, with a mate-before-lock feature for easy engagement. The Gecko SL connectors offer significant size and weight reductions compared to traditional solutions, with options including right-angle and reverse-fix designs. Typical applications include commercial avionics, medical electronics, and robotics.

You can pick Harwin’s Gecko SL Connectors because you need an ultra-reliable connector that is perfect for board to cable, cable to cable and board to board applications, or you can pick them just because you like Geckos. I’m not going to judge. Whatever your reason, the Gecko SL Connectors feature a compact design with 6 to 50 gold-plated beryllium copper contacts that are rated for 1000 mating cycles. The four-fingered contacts and stainless-steel screw-loks enable fast and easy assembly while ensuring consistent connections even in extreme shock and vibration applications. They also use low outgassing materials for use in low pressure environments. Gecko SL can be used in 450V AC and DC applications with up to 2A per contact and can operate at temperatures ranging from -65°C to +150°C, providing the versatility to address a wide range of application requirements.
