Video Transcript

“Houston, we’ve had a problem,” were the iconic words radioed to mission control following an Apollo 13 explosion caused by an electrical short. If I’m about to land on the moon, the only message I hear better be “Houston, we have contact." Harwin Datamate Mix-Tek Connectors provide reliable and flexible single-row power or coax contacts with double-row signal contacts in one individual connector. Secure termination is made with jackscrew fixings for PCB and cable connections at 2mm and 4mm pitches. The aluminum alloy backshell and gold-finished beryllium copper contacts provide shock, vibration, and temperature resistance and RFI shielding with the durability of up to 500 mating cycles for a wide variety of testing conditions typical of avionics, communications, oil and gas, rail transport, and medical environments. With a 30% glass-filled plastic housing, the RoHS and REACH-compliant connectors meet UL94V-0 requirements and exhibit low outgassing properties suitable for space deployment. Available for off-the-shelf supply, the Mix-Tek connectors offer minimal lead time and reliable substitution for demanding applications.
