At Railtex 2013, HARTING will feature a number of new developments in its range of connectivity and RFID solutions for the rail industry. New products include the Han(R) HC Individual: a new industrial connector family providing flexible contact arrangement options, allowing individually sealed 350 A contacts (to protection class IP 66) to be arranged in configurations with up to ten adjacent connections on one supporting rail. This interface can...

HARTING has expanded the flexibility of its connector families fitted with Han-Quick Lock termination technology by offering connectors in two wire-gauge ranges. The two families of devices are distinguished by the different colouring of the Han-Quick Lock actuators. The termination wire gauge ranging from 0.25 mm² to 1.5 mm² has a black actuator, whereas the actuator for the 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm² range is blue.

A new range of M12 D-coded overmoulded cable assemblies from HARTING uses 360° screened M12 Ethernet connection cable to offer reliable data transmission, particularly in industrial environments affected by electromagnetic interference.

HARTING has toady revealed that it has expanded its Han-Eco industrial connector series with a range of plastic housings including a variant designed for outdoor applications. These connector housings - in glass fibre reinforced high-performance plastic - give the customer the benefits of reduced weight and improved cost/performance ratio.

The Han-Yellock 10 is a new, compact addition to HARTING’s established Han-Yellock family of modular industrial connectors. The availability of 25 different contact inserts means that the Han-Yellock 10 can be adapted to a wide range of applications from energy supply to data transmission.

har-flexicon from HARTING is a miniaturised individual conductor PCB connection technology featuring 1.27 mm spacing and ideally suited to field assembly. Consisting of a pluggable SMD terminal block, with IDC wire connection, har-flexicon allows the rapid, tool-less termination of single wires directly on to a PCB, with the benefits of low processing costs, compatibility with automatic SMT mounting and reflow soldering process, and a high level ...

HARTING has added two new modules to their Han-Modular industrial connector family to provide enhanced mechanical robustness and signal integrity in industrial and transport applications. The new fully screened Han Megabit module is especially suited for applications in industry and railway technology.

Han HC Individual is the new HARTING product family for universal contact arrangement options, allowing individually sealed 350 A contacts (to protection class IP 66) to be arranged in configurations with up to ten adjacent connections on one supporting rail. This interface can be very easily separated thanks to a stainless steel lever system with integrated contact guide. Each individual connection can be assembled separately, and engaged and ex...

HARTING has expanded its range of crimping tools for Han high-voltage contacts with the addition of a battery-driven hydraulic crimping tool which simplifies and accelerates the contact assembly process. Using the new battery-driven hydraulic crimping tool, crimp contacts can be made with cable cross-sections of between 10 mm2 and 240 mm2.

At Southern Electronics 2013, the HARTING Technology Group will be featuring its broad range of electrical and electronics interconnection solutions, including a number of innovative new products. The HARTING Technology Group’s electronics assembly operation – HARTING Integrated Solutions (HIS) - will also be demonstrating its backplane and sub-assembly capabilities.

HARTING has added a range of new fixing elements to extend the flexibility of the D20 full metal housings used with the company’s DIN 41612 connector family. In developing the HARTING D20 full metal housing for DIN 41612 connectors, the company has concentrated on flexibility and handling convenience. For example, where components are installed in difficult-to-reach or confined spaces, internal hexagonal screws are used as fixing elements for t...

The HARTING Technology Group achieved revenues of €479 million in the financial year under review (October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012) coming in at slightly under the previous year’s level (€481 million) with a decline of just 0.4%. The revenues of the internationally active company were therefore maintained at a very high level overall.

Ha-VIS middleware from HARTING provides easy and cost-effective integration of radio frequency identification hardware into existing software systems, enabling users to operate Ha-VIS RFID reading devices to process the transponder-supplied information without the need for any programming.

HARTING have today announced the introduction of the Ha-VIS Dashboard, a software system for the monitoring, installation and servicing of IP-based communication networks incorporating up to 256 network devices. The new system detects manageable network members and can automatically map the network topology.

With the Han Q 3/0 and Han Q 4/0, HARTING is expanding its portfolio in the smallest Han 3A size range. An area measuring 42 mm² is enough room for 3 power contacts and the protective earth contact (Han Q 3/0) or 4 power contacts (Han Q 4/0). This makes them both the most powerful in the compact industrial connector class.

The new HanX-TEC circular connector from HARTING offers a compact, customised solution to interfacing in drive systems for machine-tool and automation applications. A key feature of the new connector range is a new type of rapid locking mechanism for cable connectors and receptacles.

HARTING has introduced a compact DIN 41612 type 3C crimp female cable connector for use with smaller printed circuit boards or sub-assemblies. The new connector is designed for ease of use. Three possible outlet ports are available which can be opened up by simply breaking through the external walls as required.

HARTING has today announced the release of a new hood with an angled cable outlet for its innovative Han-Yellock industrial connector. The new hood is designed with the shape of the human hand in mind, and enables optimum housing clamping operation.

HARTING has introduced a number of new variants in the har-flex robust circuit-board connector family which extend its versatility in a wide range of board-to-board and board-to-cable applications with a contact pitch of 1.27 mm.

HARTING has expanded its har-port family of service interfaces with RJ45 Ethernet versions complete with patch cables already fitted. As a result, users will no longer need a socket, as would be the case with versions incorporating an RJ45 coupler and separate patch cables.
