The expedient solution goes by the name of har-modular® - a modular PCB interface that can be individually configured online by any developer. This entails a tremendous reduction in the workload for device developers - regardless of whether it's a matter of rapid prototyping, a small series or an entire product series. The modular construction kit with a billion possible combinations certainly leaves nothing to be desired. Customised solutions from batch size 1 save time, costs and nerves in development and facilitate the ever-shorter processes involved in turning out new industrial devices. Developers adapt the connector to their requirements and not the other way round.
The har-flex® connectors with 6-100 contacts for signals, power or data follow a similar but markedly reduced approach with a pitch of 1.27mm. Different heights for mezzanine applications, the space-saving connection of ribbon cables and the high manufacturing quality for automated soldering processes are convincing factors in miniaturised PCB applications.
