Harwin launches XPi integration services unit offering cable assembly creation, and application engineering services

Harwin has launched an integration services unit to optimise and simplify system development for developers using its connectors.

Called XPi, the unit will offer expert support for design and assembly, with the ability to work in close liaison on projects throughout the design phase.

Services will include product adaptations based on Harwin’s existing connector ranges, and the development of made to order cable assemblies. Customers will also have access to Harwin’s evaluation expertise, which enables an analysis of a system’s existing limitations and specific requirements to create project-specific solutions. The XPi offering will also include a range of value-added integration to reduce supply chain complexity.

Jake Ayers, VP of Product, said: “While transmission integrity is vital in every assembly, the skillset for optimising this is often outside an engineer’s core expertise. The XPi offering has therefore been created to remove complexity from this task, ensuring the optimal connector and assembly is used, even if it’s not on our official product card. Product development is complicated enough, and XPi is about making the connector element of it a little bit easier.”

Harwin’s XPi cable assembly solutions will include pre-crimping; flying lead or double-ended assemblies with configurable wire marking, heat shrink, pin-outs, non-standard cables and shielding; and the creation of terminations to connect with non-Harwin devices where appropriate.

Additionally, the XPi application engineering service will examine how a specific system’s mechanical, electrical, environmental and installation requirements will affect connector selection and implementation. And its value-added integration will extend to inspection, testing and other application-specific finishing operations.
