Rugged high-specification cadmium-free range features free-plug, panel-mount and cable connector orientations in a number of popular shell and layout options.

A new range of rugged high-reliability RoHS-compliant circular connectors from Harwin meets the high standards of MIL-C-5015 yet is priced to be cost-effective for commercial and industrial applications.

For use in harsh and demanding environments the rugged high-specification cadmium-free range also features free-plug, panel-mount and cable connector orientations in a number of popular shell and layout options.

These cost-effective solutions will offer benefits in power generators, fixed and portable industrial equipment, control cables, machine tools and robotics to name a few market areas.

According to Paul Gillam, Product Marketing Manager at Harwin: "Commercial and industrial product designers are often faced with the challenge of choosing a rugged, high reliability connector for use in harsh and demanding environments that may require full environmental sealing".

"With low product cost and RoHS compliance being placed high on the list of requirements up to now it has not been an easy task to select an ideal connector".

"Harwin's new range of RoHS-compliant low-cost, circular connectors now offer an effective solution in these challenging conditions".
