Hi Joe, I need a low profile connector to join several boards on top of each other. I need to add more components, but the PCB is almost full and I can’t increase the board size due to width restrictions in the final design. I can design vertically to incorporate another two or three PCB’s, but will need a low profile connector to fit it all in.
I’ve seen a sample of your harflex (I think!) connector – would these be appropriate? I’m new to harting, and haven’t found the details of what you offer in this range. What is available? I think I will need somewhere between 8-16 pins, although it could be more. What pin sizes do you offer?
Hello Rob
I believe that the har-flex would indeed be appropriate for this sort of application.
As you will see from the following link, there are many possibilities when it comes to “mezzanine” style boards, using har-flex.

There are also 4 different available heights depending on which of the combination male and female you choose and patch cables for when the need is even higher than the capability of the connectors. This should cover the height of any other components on the board and ensure that there is ample space.
As for your final question, “what is available and in what pin size”, I would direct you to our e-catalogue which will show you all the different components in this range and also gives you the ability to filter the results as an easy way of determining which part you require.
If you have any further questions or if you are unsure about anything, then feel free to email HARTING (gb@harting.com) and someone will be happy to help you.
I hope this has been helpful.
Best Regards
