Harting has introduced a 2.54mm pitch version of its har-flexicon miniature rapid-connection system for printed-circuit boards (PCBs) incorporating surface-mount devices (SMD). Har-flexicon is tailored to the market demand for screwless rapid termination technology and economical processing for miniature electronic assemblies. It is designed to be compatible with SMT and reflow soldering processes, as well as with automatic loading systems using pick-and-place technology.

The new system, incorporating SMD PCB terminals and connectors with 2.54mm spacing, enables the flexible, field-installable rapid connection of individual wires with push-in spring-force termination technology, and a stable basis for surface mount connectivity. Rigid and flexible conductors are available with cross-sections from 0.14-0.5mm².
