HARTING has added a 2-pin 100 A crimp module to its Han-Modular range of heavy-duty industrial connectors. The combination of crimp technology and the high current rating makes the new module ideally suited to the requirements of the rail industry, where crimp connectors are widely used.

The HARTING MicroTCA connector has successfully passed the latest tests established by the PICMG Group for the ‘Rugged MicroTCA’ PICMG specification. The HARTING con:card+ connector for MicroTCA backplanes and the plug connector for AdvancedMC modules passed the vibration sine and shock test of the MTCA.1 ‘Rugged Air Cooled’ specification without contact interruptions.

The Han EE Quick Lock module from HARTING integrates the company’s patented Quick Lock rapid assembly technology into the high-density Han EE module from the Han-Modular family of industrial connectors.

HARTING has extended its Han HC 650 range of heavy-duty connectors with a new crimp version that can accommodate cables of up to 240 mm² cross-section.

HARTING has introduced a new hybrid fibre/copper connector which allows power and data links to be combined in the same rugged housing for ease of installation and maintenance in harsh environments.

At RAILTEX 2009, HARTING is featuring its extensive range of interconnection solutions for rail applications, including products covered by IRIS (International Railway Industry Standard) approval. HARTING's parent company, based in Espelkamp, Germany, was the first organisation in the world to receive this certificate, and now the UK operation has been awarded the IRIS quality certificate. In addition to the HARTING connector range, the approv...

ACAL TC, formerly Townsend-Coates, is the Wokingham based interconnection specialist division of ACAL Technology: a leading value-added distributor providing specialist design-in, sales and marketing services for international suppliers.

A number of new circular connectors have been added to the HARTING range of 7/8” devices: a configuration that is becoming widely used in fieldbus applications.

At Southern Electronics 2009, the HARTING Technology Group will be featuring its broad range of electrical and electronics interconnection solutions. The HARTING Technology Group's electronics assembly operation - HARTING Integrated Solutions (HIS) - will also be demonstrating its backplane and sub-assembly capabilities.

As a key element in its aims of creating an Ethernet communications platform for the full range of applications in converging industrial networks, HARTING has developed a new switching technology which integrates Ethernet automation protocols into the Automation IT communications platform.

A new self-adhering gasket has been added to the HARTING Han range of industrial connectors. The new gasket allows the seal to be attached directly to the housing, which makes installation easier. In addition, the screws are securely held onto the housing and seal, minimising the chance of them being lost.

A hood with an M32 straight cable outlet has been added to the HARTING Han-Modular Compact range of industrial connectors.

The new Han PushPull SCRJ connector is designed to ease the integration of SCRJ fibre-optic cabling with standard push-pull connector configurations in harsh industrial environments. The new device is an IP65/67 panel feedthrough which is offered with either a plastic or metal housing, and allows users to route optical fibres into control cabinets or distributed automation components without the need for media convertors.

HARTING has extended its range of interconnection solutions with the introduction of several new standard and customer-specific cables and cable assemblies.

A new hinged element in the HARTING Han HPR series of industrial connector hoods and housings is designed to be screwed onto existing bulkhead mounting housings and protection covers to create a configuration with an integral hinged protection cover, eliminating the need for a separate cover.

HARTING has added a new cable configurator for Ethernet cabling to its HARKIS® catalogue information system.

A new panel feed-through based on the industry-standard M12 connector is available from HARTING. The new device offers a choice of speedy field termination techniques: standard crimp termination or insulation displacement connection (IDC) termination without the need for special tools using HARTING’s HARAX speedy termination technique.

HARTING has introduced a new range of male and female D-Subminiature filter adaptors for effective electronic noise reduction in sensitive applications such as high-speed digital broadcasting and industrial test equipment.

HARTING has introduced metal-cased versions of its compact and versatile Han PushPull range of connectors, opening up new applications for the devices in industrial networks. With the new devices, it is possible to configure a single mechanical interface sealed to IP65/67 and containing inserts for data, power and signal connections. This would allow, for example, a panel feed-through for an industrial Ethernet connection along with a power conne...

The new eCon 3011 from HARTING is a Fast Ethernet media convertor designed for use in industrial environments. It performs signal conversion between shielded twisted-pair cable and multimode or single mode fibre-optic cable, and also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE).
