Mansfield, Texas, USA – December 15, 2005 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the fastest growing electronics distributor in the industry, today announced it has reached a global distribution agreement with high-reliability interconnect systems manufacturer, Harwin, Inc.
Mouser will feature Harwin’s Datamate connectors, a professional range of 2mm pitch connectors suitable for any high-performance application. Small and rugged, these connectors carry 3.0 amps per contact, with both latching and jackscrew options for high-vibration environments. The Datamate series are designed for wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, and board-to-board applications. The board applications include both PC tail and SMT options, while the wire applications feature a screw machined outer shell. All styles of connectors use a four-finger beryllium copper contact. The Datamate series offers superior connector performance at a reasonable price.
“We are excited to partner with an outstanding distributor the caliber of Mouser,” said Doug Steele, Harwin Distribution Sales Manager. “And we look forward to expanding our sales and market penetration through new Mouser customers that other distributors don’t reach.”
Mouser’s unique customer base of well over 100,000 business accounts is diverse, representing a wide range of small, medium and large companies, as well as individual consultants who recommend, specify and purchase board-level components for product designs.
According to Mouser President and CEO Glenn Smith, the distribution agreement with Harwin is in keeping with the distributor’s business model of continuing to offer the newest, most innovative products and the latest technologies to its customers.
“Mouser focuses on engineering customers at the design-in and prototyping stages of the design cycle,” Smith said, “and Harwin’s technology-driven interconnect products are just what our customers need to quickly deliver their state-of-the-art products to the market. We are pleased to add them to our linecard and continue to give our customers a time-to-market advantage.”
In addition, Mouser provides its customers outstanding customer service – regardless of the size of the customer or the size of the order. The company’s policy of breaking packs and no minimum orders is especially attractive to design engineers and small-quantity buyers.
Mouser’s excellent technical personnel and sales staff are available to take customer calls and process orders from 7 am to 8 pm CST. And the streamlined warehouse fulfillment process allows same-day shipping on most orders from its state-of-the-art 173,000 square foot facility.
