Hot shoe connectors for harsh environments

18 June 2003 Interconnection

Hot shoe connectors are typically used in harsh environments where moisture or dust ingress is not permitted and life cycle requirements are high. Typically, they provide a fully sealed connector to mate items such as batteries and handsets to portable units or charging points for internal batteries.

Many of Harwin's hot shoe connectors have mating halves available to complete the connection assembly. These typically take two forms; elastometric or spring probes. The elastometric versions offer good sealing properties together with flexibility for mating. spring probes offer similar flexibility but also offer a number of different head profiles to suit any application.

Optional hot shoe specifications:

* Mixed technology - power and signal contacts.

* Low profile - for minimal space use.

* Sprung contacts - for self aligning mating cycles.

* Materials and plating finishes - brass/stainless steel with gold/silver/tin plating.

* Mouldings - either glass filled polyester or nylon, all V0 rated.

* Terminations - solder cup/flexi-circuit tails/crimps/surface-mount tails.

* RF filters - PI, C, L types typically, including bandpass, band reject, low pass and high pass versions.
