The HARTING Han Q 4/2 industrial connector - a high-current device combining four power contacts rated at 40 A each along with two signal contacts rated at 10 A each - is now available with the company’s rapid wiring technology for ease of field assembly.
While the 40 A power contacts are connected using a standard hex key, the two 10 A signal contacts feature the Han-Quick Lock(r) termination technology that dispenses with the need for special tools, requiring nothing more than a standard screwdriver.

The Han(r) Q 4/2 is frequently used in conjunction with the Han(r) Q 8/0 connector, which is also available in crimp and Han-Quick Lock? versions. The mating faces of the two devices are identical, independent of the respective termination technology, and are therefore 100% pin compatible. This provides the option of selecting the most suitable termination technology on the device and cable side, according to customer applications and requirements.

The connector inserts fit the IP 65 housings of the Han-Compact(r) range, which are available as plastic and metal versions. Among other features, metal hoods are available with a separate PE (protective earth) ground terminal point that places the protection conductor at the housing potential.

This new addition means that housings are now available for all application areas and as high protection types for the Han(r) Q 4/2 axial screw and crimp versions, including plastic housings for interior areas, metal housings for outdoor and indoor use and housings with conductive surfaces for EMC applications.

Designed for use in industrial automation and drive systems, the Han(r) Q 4/2 meets the requirements of DIN EN 61984. The power contacts are rated at 40 A, 400-690 V, 6 kV 3, and have a conductor cross-section of 4-6 mm² (10 mm² optional), while the signal contacts are rated at 10 A, 250 V, 4 kV 3, and have a conductor cross-section of 0.34-1.5 mm².
