Han^® industrial connectors provide for a reliable and pluggable transmission of power, signal and data, meeting the highest requirements. In addition to its rectangular heavy-duty standard design, the Han^® range offers modular, compact and lightweight connectors that deliver a wide range of solutions for the machinery, transportation, energy, automotive and device connectivity sectors. The Han-Smart^® generation brings the intelligence into the connector.

Need to find the right interfaces for your machine construction quickly and reliably without the drawn-out process of considering the connector details and all the many combination options? The Han^® configurator will quickly put all the necessary information and data relevant to your decision making at your fingertips.

Register for a free introduction to the Han® Configurator or start directly with your first configuration.

A complete industrial connector consists of the following individual components:

• Cable entry protection
• Hoods
• ...

The most common termination techniques can be assembled into the Han® connectors. Special inserts and contacts for terminal connectors are available to match the particular techniques of wire termination.

The choice of the right termination technique depends mainly on the type of cable, the cable cross-section, as well as the number and type of contacts. In addition, all termination types offer different advantages for different production conditions.

The locking mechanisms of hoods and housings do not only protect the connector from unintentional openings, they also increase the tightness. The most often used locking mechanism for industrial connectors are locking levers. However, there are several mechanisms available in different versions, each of which has its advantages and is suitable for special applications.

The Han rectangular connector housing with its sealing and locking mechanism protect the connection from external influences such as mechanical shocks, foreign bodies, humidity, dust, water or other fluids such as cleansing and cooling agents, oils, etc.

The degree of protection the housing offers is explained in the IEC 60 529, DIN EN 60 529, standards that categorize enclosures according to foreign body and water protection.

With the Han-Modular^® series, you can optimally design connectors to supply machinery and equipment. This is made possible by combining individual modules for different transmission media. Signals, data, power and compressed air - in standard-sized industrial connector housings. Han-Modular^® offers easy-to-handle, highly flexible solutions with a small footprint and versatile functionality.

Han-Eco® includes a range of hoods and housings made of high-performance plastic. Due to their resistance to environmental impacts, the hoods and housings are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The use of plastic also brings significant weight and cost advantages over metal hoods and housings.

Intelligence in the connector – this is the Han-Smart® strategy. HARTING combines many years of connectivity expertise with advanced technology to extend the portfolio of established HARTING connectors. The products that will be used for smart industry applications must meet the new demands for dynamics and versatility. Manufacturing can be made more cost-efficient by strengthening communication and networking.

With Han^® F+B, HARTING has created a range of connectors that are specially designed for the requirements of the food industry. Smooth surfaces make it harder for bacteria to accumulate. The hoods, housings and seals are robust and protect the internal contacts against hose water and aggressive cleaning agents, which are certified by Ecolab and have FDA 21 approvals. The water jet from high-pressure cleaners cannot penetrate the hoods/housings when closed.

In order to increase the flexibility of modular manufacturing a connector must offer rapid installation, effortless exchange, and simple troubleshooting. HARTING fulfils these requirements with the Han® ES Press. The insert offers now a tool-less rapid termination technology. In addition, users can quickly and easily bridge contacts by placing plug-in jumpers directly at the connector.

The flexible and reliable supply for fast, linearly moving components of machines and systems is achieved through the use of energy chains. With the Han-Modular® Flexbox, HARTING offers a novel interface in the modular plastic housing system. Longer, moving cable runs for machines and machine modules are easier to install and maintain.

Han-Yellock® is flexible, offers utmost safety and reliability. unburdens highly complex technical components such as switch cabinets and requires practically no tools for assembly.

Our delivery service of complete cable assemblies enables us to create added value for our customers. Once the particular requirements have been defined, we deliver a comprehensive solution with all the required coverage. Thus, for our customers, we are the one-stop-shop solution for all aspects of connectivity.

If our HARTING product components do not meet your requirements completely, we will modify them according to your individual requirements. we can transform a standardized connector housing into a customized solution for your company.

For those specific tasks which cannot be accomplished using series-produced components, we design and implement completely new solutions – working together with you – which precisely match your complex requirements.

We provide connectivity solutions for transmitting power, data and signals in railway technology. Ethernet backbones and data infrastructures (e.g. for sensors and passenger information systems) are just some of the possible applications. Connectors are also used during the maintenance and integration of stationary railway infrastructures. Connectivity for the exterior of rail vehicle requires robust solutions that can withstand high environmental stress, such as stone chips, corrosion and extreme temperature changes.

HARTING offers electromechanical, optical and pneumatic interfaces as well as cable assemblies for tooling machines. The portfolio includes solutions for all common power, control, signal and data interconnects in a market segment that ranges from machine modules and functional units to compact machines to interlinked production systems with complex handling and robotic applications.

We supply standardized (e.g. EUROMAP) or customized electromechanical interfaces, components as well as cable assemblies for the transmission of data, signals and power. Our solutions enable the flexible and modular design of machinery and equipment in the plastics and packaging industries.

Industrial connectors transmit power and signals between electrical cabinets and robots. HARTING connectivity solutions enable the use of plug-in tools on the robot head and improve the robot’s communication capacity. With their compact design they support miniaturization.

In the energy sector, reliable connections are critical for generation and transmission: connectors are used e.g. for connecting high current components in power generation facilities. Such connectors can handle the data and signal transmissions required for monitoring the facilities.

We provide robust data, signal and power interfaces for the energy distribution and storage applications with fast installation capabilities, modular designs and easy integrality to the energy management and control systems.
