Providing improvements in signal robustness and continuity, Sycamore models can be used with a wide variety of external sensors and modules. 

Avnet Abacus announces the availability of contacts Sycamore de harwin with ultra low profile and three points of contact.

Contributing improvements in signal strength and continuity Compared to two-point contact systems, these Sycamore models help maximize PCB life by making their sensors and modules replaceable.

The plinth is made of a single piece of gold-plated metal with the intent to reduce contact resistance and provide a secure surface mount connection. Thus, automation is facilitated and eliminates the need for soldering the bottom of the card, with the consequent saving time and expenses.

Contacts are supplied in tape and reel to ensure that operating costs are kept under control. It is possible to choose between top or bottom entry and compatibility with mating pins with a diameter of 1 or 1,5 mm, all with a height above the PCB of only 0,43 mm at most.

Also, these sockets have an open end, so the length of the mating pins is not limited, and they help to protect sensitive components (by minimizing the risk of heating the sensor pins).

Can be used with a wide variety of external sensors and modules, these Harwin Sycamore contacts are ideal in domestic and commercial gas detection sensors, fire alarm and metering systems, as well as electric vehicles (battery management modules) and LED lighting panels.
