Screw module added to modular connector range
A new Han E screw module has been added to the Harting Han-Modular series flexible open connector system, which allows users to assemble customised connector configurations to suit their applications.
>The new module comprises five Han E screw contacts, each rated at 230 V and 16 A, of the type already employed in the proven Han E connector. It features a sliding insulation cover incorporating a mechanism that closes it automatically during mating and ensures that the contacts are introduced into the connector with protection against voltage and accidental contact.
>The simplicity of the screw module makes it particularly suited to situations where special tools and specialised personnel are not available during installation.
>A further special feature is the option of simultaneously connecting five stranded wires from 0.5 to 2.5 mm2 along with rigid conductors in a compact arrangement, offering a space saving of up to 40% compared to the use of conventional Han E connectors. As a result, switch cabinets and machines can also be more compact.
>The Harting Han-Modular series currently includes over 40 modules for electrical, optical and gaseous signals, and is being continually expanded, enabling more new configurations to be realised.
