Harwin is a leading global specialist for reliable and high-performance connection technologies used in demanding applications. As an EN 9100 / AS9100D certified manufacturer, the company places particular emphasis on quality, safety and technological innovation. Harwin continuously invests in advanced manufacturing processes and automation to meet the high demands of its customers. The product range includes high-reliability connectors, PCB hardware and EMC shielding used in industries such as aerospace, defense, medical and industrial.
Every year, Harwin presents new products at the Electronica trade fair, including specialized connectors and hardware. This year, however, the company is introducing a special innovation - a digital cable configurator on harwin.com. This enables comprehensive and intuitive configuration of Harwin connectors in real time and supports customers in creating customized cable connections directly online. The new configurator features High Reliability (HRi) product ranges, including the Gecko range, with further product lines to follow in the coming weeks. The tool's user-friendly interface stands out with a fast and visually appealing 3D experience.
The new cable configurator simplifies the entire selection process and offers a seamless experience with 3D visualization and configuration options. Customers can specify whether the configuration should be single or double-sided, as well as select the cable length and other specifications. Within seconds, the selection is visualized and can be downloaded as a PDF, integrated into their own design program as a 3D CAD model or sent to Harwin as a request for quotation. The team will respond within 24 hours. In addition, the reverse engineering function makes it possible to reuse a configuration once it has been selected by entering an identification number.
With this configurator, Harwin relies on a new, intuitive user interface that offers a B2C-like experience in a B2B context. Compared to conventional configurators, which are often handled via sales contacts or inquiries, this tool enables customers to select the desired connector independently and with visual support. Harwin focuses on a seamless user experience, which is supported by the 3D visualizations, while providing direct access to support, allowing technical questions and individual adjustments to be clarified quickly.
