Powell Electronics now offer highly reliable, rugged and compact 2mm pitch Datamate cable-to-cable connectors from Harwin. The connectors are ideal for many demanding land, sea and air applications, offering established high reliability in a COTS connector system.

Designed for mating one cable harness to another, the proven four-finger contact design of the series guarantees electrical contact through high vibration and shock. Housings are polarised and shrouded for mechanical protection and error-free mating. Rugged stainless jackscrews or easy-to-mate latches provide secure connections under severe environmental conditions.

Further technical details of the connector series include a 3A current rating per contact, a very wide operating temperature range from -55C to +125C, a vibration resistance of 10G for six hours, a shock resistance of 100G for 6ms and a durability of at least 500 mating cycles.
