Automation Connectivity Devices
No more compromises. Enable your automation machinery to be smaller and more durable, without sacrificing functionality.
Maximize your automation devices
The goal of automation is to maximize manufacturing efficiency — by transferring tasks from humans to machines. As the push for smarter, faster machinery increases, so does the need for more efficient components to equip them.

POWER & SIGNAL
Plug-and-go connectors power more productivity, less downtime.
Transfer power and signal within all areas of your machinery with HARTING’s rugged connectivity solutions. Their speed-to-build design and reliability means lower cost of ownership over the long lifespan of the components.
HARTING Hybrid Connectors:
✓ Industrial-strength metal housing stands up to vibration, shock, and constant use
✓ Allows for multiple connection types and sizes within a single connection
✓ Quick-connect design speeds installation and maintenance timelines vs. hardwiring
DATA
Transfer robust amounts of data and increasingly faster speeds, without taking extra space.
Today's automation equipment is being asked to communicate more — machine to human, machine to machine — within less physical area. Unlike legacy connectors, HARTING data transfer connectivity components help make it possible to meet the challenges of today and the requirements of tomorrow.
Next-Gen ix Industrial®:
✓ Built with size in mind
✓ Supports Cat. 6A performance for speeds up to 1/10 Gbit/s
✓ Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities for more functionality in less space
✓ 70% smaller and 4x faster than the RJ45 connector
