Connector withstands ambient conditions in splash zone
The recent Han F+B connector series from HARTING has been released, featuring a design that is optimised to meet the hygienic requirements of the food, packaging and beverage industries. The range has been developed specifically to withstand the ambient conditions encountered in the splash zone (Zone 2) as specified by the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group guidelines.
The range meets the requirements for large radii and smooth surfaces free of spaces or gaps which might trap dirt or food particles and contaminate the plant with bacteria.
A polypropylene plastic coating is used to provide protection to IP level class IP69K. The range is approved by the US FDA and is resistant to ECOLAB certified cleaning materials and processes, which include high-pressure and steam cleaning using aggressive acid or alkaline cleaning agents.
The Han F+B connectors are offered with a choice of 25 different contact inserts for interfacing bus systems, signals and power contacts at currents of up to 40A.
