P20 spring probe contact connectors maintain a positive force against a mating surface. With very low mating forces connection is rapid, effortless and user-friendly, and significant mating misalignments can be tolerated.

Available in two, three, four and five way configurations, P20 connectors can handle up to 1A at a voltage of 12V DC. Contact resistance is 50mΩ max; insulation resistance is 100 MΩ min. Operating temperature range is -40 to +85ºC and the connectors are guaranteed for 10,000 operations. Two way devices measure 3.9mm in height, while three and four-way styles are 3.4mm high and five way units stand 4.5mm tall.

Paul Gillam, Harwin’s commercial product manager, said: “We are well-established as suppliers of the Hot Shoe range of spring-loaded, positive contact connectors, but these devices are much smaller. The new P20 spring contact connectors suit price-sensitive, high volume consumer applications, such as portable equipment where separate battery modules and data transfer docking stations are used.”

Parts are available via Harwin’s distribution network. Other sizes and configurations are also available.
