Locking systems for hoods and housings
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.
Two levers at the bottom part of the housing
Two levers at the bottom part of the housing
Secure locking ensured by four locking points
Minimal space requirements and high locking force
Ideal for laterally arranged connectors

Easy handling: simply press yellow push buttons simultaneously to lock with an audible click; only one hand needed to lock/unlock
Protected against vibration, shock and unintentional opening: turning yellow button by 90 degrees prevents accidental disconnects. Optionally available with additional blocking function
Compact design
Han® PushPull locking system
The inner, circular locking profile guarantees a self-locking, durable and tightly sealed (IP67) device connection
Easy-to-handle: locking mechanism is intuitively plugged with an audible click, unplugged by simply pulling out the connector after having released the interlock ring
Device connector, occupying very little space
Han® PushPull locking system
Directly mounted to panel (without bulkhead mounted housing)
Directly mounted to panel (without bulkhead mounted housing)
The hood is attached directly to the electrical cabinet panel using mounting flanges
A cost-effective alternative for plug-in connections with only few or almost no mating cycles
