HARTING shrinks DIN 41612 3Q/3R type connector

In response to the growing trend to miniaturisation in the industrial sector, HARTING has introduced a new DIN 41612 multipoint connector that is only one third the size of previous versions.

The DIN 41612 3Q/3R type multipoint connector family is available with or without a PCB hold-down clip and has been designed for connecting two circuit boards located perpendicularly to or alongside each other.

These connectors are just as robust as the full and half-width versions, providing a level of reliability associated with DIN 41612 connectors. The 20 or 30 contacts with compact 2.54mm spacing can each take a current of up to 2A. Plugs in 3B, 3C, 3Q and 3R sizes are also available to fit.

Other versions made of high-temperature material are available which means that through-hole reflow soldering technology can be used for connecting to the circuit board.

HARTING is also able to offer custom built options in addition to the standard versions.
