Gecko-SL Horizontal Connectors

Harwin's Gecko-SL 1.25 mm pitch horizontal connectors are ideally suited for stacking and cable mating

Harwin's Gecko-SL brings a high-reliability connection at a miniature 1.25 mm pitch. These connectors are an ideal choice for SWaP-C optimization (size, weight, power, and cost). They are up to 45% smaller and up to 75% lighter than existing industry-standard equivalents. For increased design flexibility, the Gecko-SL range has been expanded to include horizontal configurations.

This range expansion brings the additional option of a male through-board connector at right angles to the PCB. Save space above the PCB by routing the mating cables sideways or join the PCBs together with a 90 degree connection (ideal for motherboard-to-daughterboard). The Gecko-SL 1.25 mm pitch connector is available in pin counts up to 50, and it is fully compatible with the rest of the Gecko-SL range.

They are fitted with mate-before-lock hardware for simplified mating and a secure connection. The stainless steel screw-locks are supplied in two styles: standard for male PCB-to-female cable or reverse gender fixings (reverse fix) for female motherboard-to-male daughterboard.
