Unique capability from franchised distributor Genalog increases flexibility; speeds production

Portsmouth, August 2008…Harwin’s franchised distributor, Genalog Ltd, is offering customers a free cutting service covering the hi-rel connector maker’s pin header and socket range. Customers can order a comprehensive range of Harwin pin-headers and sockets ex-stock from Genalog, with no minimum order quantity or pack-size restrictions. Genalog is the only franchised distributor in Europe approved by high-reliability connector maker Harwin to offer this service. All work conforms to ISO9001: 2000 standards.

Paul Bennett, Genalog’s Sales Manager comments: “As a leading Harwin distributor, we are delighted to offer our Harwin customers this value-added service; they will pay no more for the parts we have processed in-house and will not be charged for any set-up or wastage.”

Genalog has invested in technical expertise, stock, machines, hand-tools and other equipment to handle pin headers and socket strips of any pitch down to 1.27mm. Both SIL (single in line) and DIL (dual in line), through hole and SMT (surface mount) parts are available. Most Harwin connector ranges are held in stock as “full strip” – the maximum size on any series – so connectors with any number of positions are available.
