Whether your product is flying the skies with hundreds of passengers, or providing surveillance for troops in the middle of the desert, performance and reliability can’t be compromised. Harwin connectors provide a confidence of connection designed to optimise your COTS options for a SWaP-C solution. High-reliability connector ranges from Harwin have a proven record for performance under the most extreme environmental conditions from vibration and shock severity to high temperature and humidity. Harwin is certified to EN9100D/AS9100D and have been supplying major manufacturers in the aerospace and defence sector for many years.
Avnet Abacus’ Europe-wide team of technical specialists works closely with Harwin to bring you the highest level of product and technical support. If you’re ready to take the next step, get in touch with the team to discuss your requirements.
Webinar: Build vs. buy - optimising cable assemblies for consistency, reliability and quality
Failure is not an option in high-reliability applications such as aerospace. Your cable-to-board and cable-to-cable connections have to meet stringent standards, and the correct tooling is key. So, do you keep cable assembly in-house or buy ready made?
Find out how to avoid common mistakes when crimping high-reliability micro-connectors and how to make the build-vs-buy decision in our new webinar with Harwin’s John Brunt.
