These new products complement the existing Har-Flex signal cable connectors (PN: 1529xxx250y000), which have a pitch of 127mm, IDC termination, requires two connectors to establish a pluggable connection: a male connector and a female connector. The primary purpose of existing connectors is to have one connector at each end of the cable assembly:
Figure Existing pluggable IDC connectors need to be pluggable on only one side in some applications, such as some devices that need to switch PCBs. The new HAR-Flex head-of-board IDC connectors allow customers to permanently attach one side of the cable to the PCB:
Figure: What is the cable assembly process of the new permanent IDC connector?
Cables can be assembled in two ways. The usual method is to press down the cable guide with the help of a press:
With HAR-Flex head-of-board IDC connectors, customers can also use our manual assembly tools for pin counts 6-16. This tool has several advantages: there is no need to set a restriction area under the connector, the PCB is less stressed during the pressing process, and there is no need for pressing machines and tools. Manual assembly is particularly useful for small batches and is easy to incorporate into manual production processes.

Benefits at a glance: Compact cable solutions for tight spaces.
Adaptable cable assembly process: hand tools or presses.
The PCB design is flexible, from 6pin to 50pin even pins.
Hold-down device and optional strain relief provide additional reliability.
Lower cost due to fewer parts and less complexity compared to pluggable connections.
Product Unique Selling Point (USPS).
As HARTING, we don't just make connectors; We've also refined the functionality of connectors. You benefit from unique product features that ensure a high level of reliability. That's what makes this new connector so special:
Optional strain relief.
Extra robustness and reliability in terms of movement or vibration.
Optional manual installation tool, 6pin to 16pin
Easy to operate. Reduce PCB stress.
Not just in the crimping machine, but anywhere.
Connectors with different pin counts can be flexibly selected: from 6 pins to 50 pins with even pins (common pin counts).
Our customers don't need to buy more pins than their applications require.
