Over eight decades, Harwin has supported engineering innovation on the global stage – with customers in the space, avionics, e-mobility, medical, defense, factory automation and smart agriculture sectors all benefitting from the use of its advanced solutions.

Building on its long heritage, the company continues evolving and improving the value proposition for its customers. Harwin has three defined categories for its product portfolio. These are:

HRi – which incorporates all the high-reliability (Hi-Rel) connectors that the company produces. These deliver high reliability with supreme performance. This means that they can be deployed in the most challenging of working environments. Its multi-award-winning Gecko connectors can be specified in situations where there are acute size and weight limitations, enabling customers’ SWaP requirements to be met. Datamate connectors can address applications that call for high contact numbers, while Kona connectors can handle high currents within a compact form factor. The Datamate Mix-Tek connector options enable significant space savings to be realized, by combining data transmission and power delivery capabilities.

BBi – consisting of board-to-board connectors targeted at industrial and embedded applications. The durable, high contact-density Kontrol series is complemented by the small footprint Archer .5 and Archer .8 mezzanine connectors which support high-speed operation in space-constrained applications.

EZi – featuring the company’s extensive selection of board-level hardware and accessories. As well as easy-to-implement EMI/ RFI shielding cans, there are a variety of spacers, spring contacts, cable clips, jumper links and coin cell battery holders.

Harwin has dedicated application engineering and technical support staff to assist customers, advising on which products will be best for scenarios, resulting in systems with real differentiation. The company’s US production facility (situated in New Hampshire) produces custom cable assembly solutions, with even very small unit quantities being addressed; and there is complete flexibility in terms of length, configuration, etc. This always assures superior quality. Harwin fulfills the needs of the avionics industry thanks to its main production site (located in Portsmouth, UK) which has full AS9100D accreditation.

The company is constantly investing in the latest capital equipment, with machinery being replaced every five years by state-of-the-art models. The company also focuses resources on developing its own automated assembly systems. In doing so Harwin continues with its innovation and development of new NPI activity. The company has also established its own academy for training young engineers.

In addition to all the above, Harwin offers a robust supply chain. This is carried out through strong relationships with a world-class network of franchised distributors including Digi-Key, Mouser, Newark and TTI enabling rapid stock availability across all the company’s product lines.
