New standard Hot Shoe connectors are also suitable for use in portable equipment where separate battery modules are used, for data transfer docking stations, and for battery charging and data communications equipment.
Other applications include thermal imaging cameras, in-vehicle detachable equipment, and hand held scanners.
Previously, Hot Shoe technology connectors have only been available as custom designs, and the 8, 12 and 16 way versions that are now being launched as standard products are based on designs that have proved most popular in the past.
However, as Harwin retains in-house manufacturing capabilities ranging from initial design consultation to full production, the company is happy to work together with customers on full custom Hot Shoe connector designs.
