ESPELKAMP - March 31, 2025 - For the HANNOVER MESSE 2025, HARTING will be showcasing its new har-flex adapters, which can accommodate significantly larger distances between circuit boards in mezzanine arrangements. This will give product developers even more freedom when designing their devices. This extension of the possible distance will allow even larger electronic components to find space between two cards–the ideal solution for drives and robotics applications.
Right on time for the HANNOVER MESSE, HARTING is extending its har-flex PCB connector series to include additional adapters providing more space between PCBs in mezzanine arrangements. This offers developers significantly greater freedom in the design of new device series, e.g. when developing drives and robots. High performance capacitors are used here in order to absorb the braking energy from electrical drives.
For technical reasons, the capacitors required for this purpose are of a certain size that necessitates a minimum distance from housings and other circuit boards. Until now, har-flex stacking heights were available to meet this requirement–i.e. har-flex connectors of varying heights. In order not to have to rely on ribbon cable solutions for even larger distances, HARTING is now offering a fixed connection for distances up to 53 mm in mezzanine arrangements with its har-flex adapters.
The adapters are available for har-flex signal versions in heights from 20 mm to 38 mm and numbering 12, 26, 50, 68 and 80 poles. The har-flex signal connectors themselves have been optimized for use with the adapters and are now available with additional locking elements which guarantee that the adapter is secured. The adapters provide a visual indication of the side to be locked for simple, fast installation. The locking mechanism ensures that the adapter remains securely on a defined circuit board on disconnection.
With pitches of 0.8 mm to 2.54 mm, the har-flex series offers complete freedom in the arrangement of circuit boards for the transmission of power, signals or data, whether for mother-daughter cards, extender cards or mezzanine designs.
