Harwin's Gecko SL series delivers high reliability with a smaller footprint and increased design flexibility. The ruggedized screw fixings have a 2 mm screw thread for maximum strain relief and security. They are able to withstand repeated mating cycles without damage. Gecko SL connectors have captive screws with hex socket heads to prevent slipping during assembly and a mate-before-lock feature for fast assembly and increased usability. They are now available in reverse fix screw-lok design allowing for immense mating hardware options.

The miniature size of the Gecko SL connector results in space and weight savings on the board. Up to 45% footprint savings and up to a 75% weight saving compared to Micro-D. Lightweight aluminum hoods deliver enhanced electrical continuity, cable protection, and effective EMI/RFI shielding. Pre-wired contacts are available for prototyping and pre-production.
