Harwin Datamate connector suits USB 2.0 designs
A Harwin product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Sep 21, 2010
Harwin's Datamate connector range - a 2mm pitch board-to-board and wire-to-board product suited to high-reliability applications - performs at high speed to make it suitable for many USB 2.0 designs.
This means that for a wide range of applications that must function in rugged environments, Datamate can be used to carry USB 2.0 information while guaranteeing high reliability - even under conditions of extreme shock, vibration, humidity or temperature change.

Independent tests undertaken by test house Trimerix confirmed the high speeds of Datamate.
The company tested the Datamate connector series for RF and high-speed digital performance against the EIA-364-108 standard to determine both the insertion loss and characteristic impedance.
'The impedance of the connector was stable at 105ohm, which makes it suitable for a number of differential signalling applications, and - although marginally outside the spec for USB 2.0 - the performance of the connector is quite sufficient for most USB applications,' said Nigel Gaylard, Trimerix test engineer.
