Application:
Location and Temperature reporting from Servo Motors.
Background:
Encoders are an important part of modern servo motors, ensuring that the control system obtains high resolution feedback from the motor operation. This includes positioning and health status.
The Challenge:
With the reducing size of space envelopes for motors, the encoder must also be minimized. The internal connectors must be robust to withstand a variety of demanding environments. For improvements in automated manufacture, the terminations need to be shorter for use with Pin-In-Hole reflow (PIHR) solder processes and delivered in tape-and-reel packaging.
Harwin Solution:
The Datamate L-Tek range now includes 2- and 3-contact male PCB connectors with 2mm terminations, suitable for PIHR processing. These connectors are packaged in tape-and-reel. By using the Datamate L-Tek design as a base, these connectors are already compact, robust, and proven in challenging applications.
