A wide range of compact jumper sockets / shunts has been announced by Harwin expanding its popular 1.27mm pitch Archer pin header range. The jumpers can be used to eliminate switches from PCBs saving money and increasing reliability.

The product range includes closed top sockets with and without handles; both styles are end stackable, devices with handles are also side stackable. A choice of bright colours – blue, black and red – enables manufacturing flexibility and simplifies programming if varying models within a product family, for example, motherboards with different processor options, are being produced at the same time.

Paul Gillam, product manager, Harwin, said: “Archer is a cost-effective system offering good electrical and mechanical performance. Current rating is 1A and devices employ a twin beam contact design for cost-effective reliability, enabling sockets to be used for up to 300 operations.”

Available ex-stock for rapid delivery, the jumper shunts / sockets are ideal for applications such as test and measurement, robotics, marine, industrial, handheld and medical equipment, says the company.
