Smaller format for spring-loaded connectors

Significant mating misalignment can be tolerated thanks to the spring-probe contacts of the P20 series.

Miniature P20 spring probe contact connectors from Harwin improve reliability by maintaining a positive force against a mating surface.

With very low mating forces connection is rapid, effortless and user-friendly, and significant mating misalignments can be tolerated.

Available in two-, three-, four- and five-way configurations, P20 connectors can handle up to 1A at a voltage of 12V DC.

Maximum contact resistance is 50mohm, and minimum insulation resistance is 100Mohm.

Operating temperature range is -40 to +85C, and the connectors are guaranteed for 10,000 operations.

Two-way devices measure 3.9mm in height, three- and four-way styles are 3.4mm high and five-way units stand 4.5mm tall.

Comments Paul Gillam, Harwin's Commercial Product Manager: "We are well-established as suppliers of the Hot Shoe range of spring-loaded, positive contact connectors, but these devices are much smaller".

"The new P20 spring contact connectors especially suit price-sensitive high-volume consumer applications, such as portable equipment where separate battery modules are used, and also data transfer docking stations".
