Harwin Gecko 1.25mm pitch connectors

High-reliability connections in a miniature package for an ideal SWaP-C solution.
For applications that must not fail, Gecko offers a high-reliability connection at a miniature 1.25mm pitch. Capable of withstanding extremes of shock, vibration and temperature, the series features cable-to-board, board-to-board and cable-to-cable in pin counts up to 50. Beryllium copper, gold plated 4-finger contacts offer excellent current capacity for a miniature connector achieving 2A per contact (electrically loaded). Specify finger-release locking latches for a minimal PCB footprint or Mate-Before-Lok screw-lok hardware for maximum strain relief. The compact design offers significant space saving over Micro-D connectors making it an ideal solution for aerospace applications, with up to 45% smaller and 75% lighter over existing equivalent industry standards.
