Harwin Gecko-MT mixed layout connectors

The Gecko-MT range combines the 1.25mm pitch Gecko signal connector system with mixed technology layouts, adding 10A power contacts to the range. Stainless steel mate-before-lock screw-loks are available in both standard or reverse-fix ensuring secure connection. Lightweight metal hoods are available for additional cable protection and shielding. By encompassing both data and power in a single compact and lightweight solution, Gecko-MT connectors are highly optimised for avionics, space and defence applications.
