HARTING features interconnection solutions for industry

In the electronics sector, HARTING is showing dependable, high-performance data connectors with maximum signal integrity, capable of handling the high-speed and ultra-high-speed data rates employed in mobile telecommunications networks. A new product family on show is a surface-mount assembly version of the company's D-Sub connector range. The new design is optimised around a number of key point design features to provide reliable processing and long-term usage. 100% co-planarity is achieved by the combination of stamped terminals and a specially designed insulator. This design has resulted in a robust solution capable of withstanding all normal handling processes.

HARTING is also featuring its broad range of interconnection and networking solutions for the Automation IT environment. HARTING's industrial networking portfolio includes interfaces between industrial automation equipment and sensors and monitoring systems, communications within machines and control systems, and links between the industrial and office computing environments.

Networking standards covered by the HARTING range include Ethernet, AS-i, Profibus and CAN-Open. HARTING produces a broad range of unmanaged, configurable and managed switches and hubs for standard Ethernet, Ethernet/IP( and PROFINET( networks, plus connectors, outlets, panel feed-throughs and cables to complete the network installation. The range also includes 'in between' products to link IP67 industrial and IP20 'office' systems, M8 and M12 connectors and their associated subassemblies, RJ Industrial connectors for both copper and fibre-optic communications, and a range of network devices for providing distributed power to the network infrastructure.

In the field of industrial connectors, HARTING is showing its industry-leading Han® heavy-duty connector family, which sets a worldwide standard for electrical connectors in sectors ranging from factory automation and machine manufacturing to transportation and wind energy. This product range has recently been enhanced with Han-Quick Lock®: an innovative termination technology which combines reliability and simple handling with the space saving benefits of crimp technology. This new concept is optimally designed for high contact densities and thus has a considerable advantage compared to other termination technologies.

HARTING Integrated Solutions is featuring its electronics assembly capabilities, along with its expertise in project development, prototyping, test and evaluation. The company is an ISO9001 supplier, and its Northampton based manufacturing facility is a worldwide centre of excellence for the assembly of backplanes, enclosures and cable assemblies.
