Always providing highly inventive engineering solutions, Harwin has now expanded its range of spring contacts with the addition of two further versions. These new surface mount components are capable of supporting both horizontal and vertical connection orientations, but come in smaller size formats than were previously available. The S1961-46R has a 3.55 mm height, while the S1971-46R has a height of 4.55 mm.
尽管市场上已经有多种仅垂直春季接触，但也可以支持水平操作的组件较不常见。但是，对更高密度的电子设计的需求意味着工程师需要更大的灵活性，即董事会如何将其连接在一起 - 这就是为什么对多方向操作的支持如此吸引人的原因。
The S1961-46R and S1971-46R both have current ratings of 14 A. This enables them to be used in low level power delivery applications, as well as signal transfer and enclosure grounding tasks. They have a mating durability of more than 5,000 cycles. As connection is through touch rather than a wiping action, they have a greater operational life than horizontal tin-plated connectors.
“Our initial multi-directional spring contact offering proved very successful, as these components have been able to provide a much more flexible method for connecting PCBs to accommodate different arrangements,” said Ryan Smart, NPI Product Manager at Harwin. “After their introduction, we received many requests from customers to develop more compact options, with smaller footprints and lower profiles. This has been the motivation behind our release of the S1961-46R and S1971-46R, as it means our customers can meet a broader spectrum of application criteria.”
这些新项目补充了Harwin现有的多向弹簧接触产品，其中包括S1941-46R和S1941-42R，以及S1951-46R。与Harwin的所有春季联系产品一样，新单元是通过磁带和卷曲提供的。他们的表面安装设计意味着它们适用于使用拾取机器的自动装配线。
