Offers new connection versions and various wiring options
Following the initial success of its Kona high power connectors with a voltage rating of 3kV, Harwin is introducing further versions of this popular range. The new models are male connectors for cabling products with standard and custom connection.
The award-winning Kona series, introduced in November 2020, is widely used in new space applications, electric vehicles, UAVs, robotics, and more. Each contact of these highly reliable compact connectors has a current rating of 60A giving a total capacity of 240A when using the four contact version. These new versions will also offer engineers other options that will allow them to design more efficient distributed power in their most demanding applications.
The new male connectors provide connections for any number of Kona contacts. Engineers can also select enclosures with or without a panel mount bracket (compatible with bolt-on brackets on the receptacle). Reverse fixed screw fixings (compatible with female panel mounting fixings) are also available and all fixings are designed to connect before locking. The soldered pin accepts 8AWG wires.
Kona wiring products are supplied to order and manufactured in the company's own dedicated manufacturing facility. Among its options are the versions with double and single termination in male-male, male-female and female-female configurations.
“Harwin is committed to the Kona range through an active development program that adds new options on a regular basis. We are seeing the demand for high power interconnects grow rapidly. These are often space-constrained applications that experience high levels of vibration and shock,” says Ryan Smart, Harwin's Head of Product Management. "By continuing to introduce improvements to the Kona range we offer more options to engineers as we allow them to design and develop adding more innovation to their control systems."
