Designed for printed-circuit boards incorporating surface-mount devices, the new har-flexicon rapid-connection system is compatible with SMT and reflow soldering processes as well as with automatic loading systems using pick-and-place technology.

Th new sMR20 RFID antenna from HARTING provides precisely defined read ranges as low as one metre, which represents an order of magnitude improvement over the currently accepted industry norm. As a result, items in close proximity to one another can be easily recognised and correctly assigned.

HARTING have today announced that the new Han PushPull Signal connector provides reliable transmission of energy, signals and data over all power ranges, consistently and in a uniform package profile. Featuring a rated current of 5 A each, the new connector has ten connectors for use with conductors with wiring gauges of up to 0.75 mm².

HARTING has introduced a set of torque tools designed to ease the installation of its Han range of industrial connectors using axial screw termination technology. The introduction of axial screw termination technology for connecting fine stranded wires complements HARTING’s proven screw-termination technology with a popular field-termination technique that is easy to install and compact.

The new HARTING Ha-VIS preLink Extender permits the easy extension of transmission paths in 10 Gbit/s network cabling systems, as well as allowing unused cables to be reactivated and extended until the next required connection. 

HARTING is now offering an extensive range of multipole connectors that can help reduce theme park maintenance costs for equipment installed in harsh outdoor environment conditions. The robust characteristics of these connectors result from the use of alternative material finishes and mating protection seals, which lead to extended product lifetimes.

HARTING has introduced a new range of 4-pair PROFINET cables in a strategic move to expand the company’s industrial Ethernet portfolio in the fast-growing market of Ethernet systems in industrial environments. PROFINET offers a number of benefits in automation applications including real-time transmission, robust cabling technology and high reliability as well as simple installation and fast commissioning.

HARTING has introduced a module clamp for use with the company’s Han-Modular industrial connector system. The new unit allows single modules to be assembled in a fully pluggable implementation in an IP 20 environment in a simple, inexpensive and space-saving manner. Handling is extremely easy: modules can be plugged and unplugged with just one hand, even in hard-to-reach areas.

HARTING has introduced an outdoor version of its innovative Han-Yellock(R) industrial connector system featuring specially selected materials and a surface structure designed to withstand salt mist and industrial exhaust gases as well as ultraviolet radiation.

HARTING have today announced the introduction of a new variant of the HARTING PushPull industrial connector family. Variant 4 is ideally suited for providing reliable termination for today’s camera systems in applications such as industrial quality control or security surveillance. The new connector is equally suited to industrial environments involving dirt and dust or outdoor applications subjected to heat and cold.

As part of the restructuring and new layout of the HARTING Technology Group’s website, the sections devoted to the company’s RFID activities have been updated.
