Han® 1A: Versatile lightweight

CHENNAI, India - Dec. 16, 2019 - PRLog -- The industrial sector is using smaller machines concurrent with modularisation of plants and systems. What is needed are compact, modular and robust connections for connecting small loads. HARTING is responding to this trend with the Han^® 1A. The rectangular connector is suitable for the transmission of data, signals & power , provides an ideal solution for e.g. control systems, smaller drives and switch cabinet installations.

The housings, inserts and cable glands of the new series are made of high-performance plastic,making it lightweight. The Han^® 1A is smaller than all previous Han^® solutions. In comparison to the Han^® 3A – the smallest rectangular connector portfolio yet – the space requirement is reduced by about one third.

The modular design of the Han^® 1A offers maximum flexibility for the respective application. Power ratings up to 16 A / 400 V, signals with up to 12 contacts per insert, and data at a rate of 10 Gbps (Cat. 6A) can all be transmitted.

Users can decide between a classic metal clamp lock and a latched lock already integrated into the housing. There are 2 connection technology options too: screw and crimp connection.

In addition, flexibility is enhanced by a wide range of useful accessories. Using cable glands or single-wire seals, within seconds the Han^® 1A system can be transformed from an IP20 solution into an IP65 connector for harsh industrial environments.

Overview of the Han^® 1A: https://www.harting.com/IN/en-gb/han1a-compact-connector

-       Low overall weight: Thanks to plastic elements, the Han^® 1A has a low overall weight, especially compared to metallic connectors.

-       Versatility: "Custom" solutions for a variety of applications due to the modular concept. Han^® 1A offers inserts for the transmission of data, signal and power, as well as a wide range of accessories.

-       Time savings: The simple "Mate & Click" design of all individual components allows the connector to be assembled in just a few seconds.

-       Space-saving: Han^® 1A components conform to the trend towards miniaturisation. At the same time, they enable the construction of robust Han® connectors – even for harsh industrial environments.

-       Cost savings: The modular system consists of a small number of individual components. Virtually an unlimited number of solutions can be created from just a few different parts, which leads to a reduction of storage costs.

-       Data transmission up to Cat. 6A: The Han^® 1A is extremely versatile. In addition to power and signal transmission, it also enables high-speed data transmission.

-       IP-protected, if necessary: An IP65 solution can be easily achieved by using housing elements or single-wire seals.
