The locking levers are pre-injection moulded, so that subsequent assembly is not necessary. This arrangement reduces the number of individual components.
The crimp contacts are available on reels of 500 or 5000 contacts for series production and as individual contacts for repair purposes. Crimping can be carried out with a hand crimping tool, a semi-automatic device or a fully automatic device, depending on the unit volume and level of automation.
Strain relief is ensured by a cable tie which protects the cable and attaches it directly to the housing. Straight and right-angled male connectors, which snap into the shell housing, are available as mating plugs. The new connector offers the same robustness as HARTING’s established devices in the full and half sizes.
