Han-INOX from HARTING is a new range of industrial connector housings made of high-grade stainless steel to provide protection against corrosion in applications such as the food & beverage and other processing industries. The new housing offers rugged, corrosion-free, IP 65/67 protected connections to ensure reliable operation in the toughest external environments. Han-INOX is available for connector sizes Han 10B and Han 3A, and is equally suit...

HARTING has introduced a 5-pole M12 connector which uses the company's HARAX easy-assembly IDC technique. The new HARAX M12-L 5-pole device has been designed to meet growing industry requirements for sensor applications where five connections are involved. It is also compatible with industrial bus systems including the thin-cable DeviceNet and the Safety Bus P.

HARTING has published a 36-page catalogue giving full product and application information on the company's comprehensive range of interconnection solutions for outdoor telecom applications. Products covered in the new catalogue are based on HARTING's existing PushPull technologies and Han 3 A housings with the addition of innovative fibre and copper based inserts, including LC fibre-optic connectors in single-mode and multimode options.

HARTING has added a new coaxial connector to its Quintax range of shielded data connectors for industrial applications. The new Han E-Coax is a Quintax connector with one Han-E crimp contact in the coaxial position.

The eCon 9000 and mCon 9000 are industrial Ethernet switches which extend the range of managed and unmanaged Ethernet devices available from the HARTING technology group. Each switch allows up to seven Ethernet clients to be connected via M12 sockets (with D-coding) at the front of the device. Further Ethernet connections can be made over the backplane inside a 19-inch rack.

HARTING has expanded its range of Han Push-Pull connectors with new versions corresponding to variants 4 and 14 as specified in the IEC 61076-3-106 standard. The new connectors are designed for use in industrial automation applications, and variant 14 complies with the requirements of the automation initiative of the German automotive manufacturing sector.
