Harwin announces Gecko MT phase 2 connector

The Gecko MT range combines the 1.25mm pitch Gecko signal connector system with mixed technology layouts, adding 10A power contacts to the range. The smallest and lightest mixed-layout connector available for high-performance applications, Gecko MT is the ideal choice when SWaP matters most. Featuring cable-to-board, board-to-board and cable-to-cable options,pin-layouts include symmetrical and non-symmetrical contact configurations. Stainless steel jackscrews are available in both standard or reverse-fix, ensuring secure connection, and lightweight metal hoods are available for additional cable protection and shielding.
