Harwin – New low-cost SMT board sockets added to EZ-BoardWare range

With the introduction of a new SMT board socket, which enables considerable cost savings, Harwin has expanded its EZ-BoardWare range of surface-mount PCB hardware products.

The innovative EZ-BoardWare family of surface-mount products improves manufacturing flexibility, reduces manufacturing costs, save space and improves in-field maintenance. EZ-SMT board sockets are a less expensive alternative to turned-contact PCB sockets for less demanding applications, and in common with all EZ-BoardWare products, are designed for automated production processes, so they withstand surface mount assembly and come in standard tape and reel packaging, says the company.

Product Manager, Paul Gillam, said: “It’s important to choose the correct device to match the application. Harsh operating conditions may mean that turned sockets are required; however our EZ-SMT Board Sockets meet most requirements at a fraction of the cost.”
