HIROSE Electric and the HARTING Technology Group have entered into an agreement to jointly develop, standardise products and market a connection technology system for Single Pair Ethernet (SPE).

It has been announced that the HARTING Technology group has formed a successful partnership with Swiss automotive company Rinspeed to develop a number of e-mobility solutions including an expanded e-mobility infrastructure for the automated fast charging of electric vehicles. 

Data networks in trains can now be implemented reliably and in a future-proof manner using the preLink system and EtherRail cables, which are specially designed for railway requirements. With Ethernet delivered via one pair of wires, rail operators can reduce their operating costs and optimise production. These products have been developed to meet the demands of train travellers, who now expect high performance internet access during their j...

It has been announced that HARTING has introduced the Han 1A, which is significantly smaller than the previous ‘smallest’ rectangular industrial connector, the Han 3A. It achieves all the benefits of a modern network a user needs and is the optimum connector solution: The Han 1A adapts to the requirements of an ever-shrinking device world.

A division of the HARTING Technology Group based in Biel, Switzerland, HARTING AG Biel, used the recent Geneva Motor Show to feature its expertise in 3D-MID (three-dimensional moulded interconnect device) technology solutions for the automotive industry. Applications featured included a position sensor for adaptive cruise control and a robot hand which is used to simulate human gripping processes.

HARTING has launched a new M12 PushPull metric circular connector solution that is compatible with the needs of factory automation applications. The new connector adds the benefits of fast and easy handling to the existing advantages of PushPull locking technology in a 'Plug&Produce' approach to sensor or control installation. The entire field of circular connectors is in transition. Manufacturers of connection technology are taking grea...

The new connector adds the benefits of fast and easy handling to the existing advantages of PushPull locking technology in a 'Plug and Produce' approach to sensor or control installation.

The new Han ES Press HMC (High Mating Cycles) connector series from HARTING combines the facility to be installed quickly without tools with extremely robust construction that allows the devices to handle at least 10,000 mating cycles. The quick connect technology used in the Han ES Press HMC involves the contact inserts being equipped with a pre-tensioned cage clamp which is triggered by an actuator. 

It has been announced that HARTING has added an industry standard Han B size version to its Han-Eco range of robust, flexible and corrosion-resistant connectors made of high-performance plastic for use in demanding industrial environments. The addition of the new unit allows users more flexibility in configuring the Han-Eco family in industrial applications. 

HARTING has developed a number of targeted connectivity solutions for the IIoT world of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The fourth Industrial Revolution is witnessing the ever-advancing convergence of the physical with the digital world. The drive to generate added value from data acquired from machines has seen a rapid rise in the number of sensors and actuators.

  HARTING has added two new stack heights to its compact har-flex 1.27mm pitch connector family, allowing designers to optimise the use of space in PCB and device design by enabling a broad range of PCB spacings from 8-20mm.

  HARTING is exhibiting a broad range of its products focused on the rail industry at Railtex (Stand E65). The company will demonstrate and discuss its range of connectivity solutions, from components through to complete assemblies such as intercar jumper cables, which are designed and manufactured at HARTING’s UK facility at Northampton.

The applications and uses for thermosetting plastics have grown substantially over recent years. The benefits of this type of plastic are largely due to its favourable plastic properties. Thermoset plastic polymers cross-link together when being cured and so form an irreversible chemical bond. Along with thermoplastic, this is one of only two organic, polymer-based plastic materials.

HARTING has introduced a new version of its popular M12 circular connector in the IEC 61076-2-111 standard K-coding. The new configuration enhances the M12, already well known as an interface for data and signals transmission, by offering a similar compact interface for energy-intensive applications. With four power contacts and a protective earth contact, it is possible to safely transmit 7kW at 630V and 16A: a considerable amount of power in a ...

An RFID system in which PCBs communicate with their SMT production line and contain all the relevant manufacturing data has been developed by HARTING. Based on the company’s RFID-4-SMT auto-ID solution, the new system cuts error rates, radically simplifies documentation requirements and forms the basis for automated PCB production in a batch size of one.

The ‘Excellence in Production’ competition in the ‘Internal tool manufacturing under 50 employees’ category has been won by HARTING Applied Technologies for the third time. The company previously won in the same category in 2014 and 2016. Led by Managing Director Dr Volker Franke and Rainer Hussmann, Head of Tool Manufacturing, the team went to Aachen to receive the award.

A new Ethernet switch that enables the implementation of individually tailored plug and play network solutions for data-intensive applications has been developed by HARTING. Imaging processes have become ever more important in all industry segments. From quality inspection within a production facility to road traffic identification, image processing supports the frictionless progress of daily businesses. 

  A protective circuit housed within a modular connector in order to protect common signals in the instrumentation and control (I&C) area has been developed by HARTING. This means that both digital and analogue circuits are securely protected.

  HARTING has introduced a number of innovative connector solutions and products targeted at the rail industry and focusing on the three key benefits of weight reduction, easy handling and increasing data throughput.

  The new Han Gigabit Module from HARTING is the first modular industrial connector designed to meet the rail industry’s growing need for high-speed communication based on the Cat.7A cabling standard on-board rail vehicles.
