HARTING Han 1A rectangular connector as an Ethernet interface

Ethernet-based data networks have become indispensable in the industrial arena, connecting sensors, machinery, control systems, computers and data centres. HARTING is now offering expedient interfaces in the form of its Han 1A series of miniaturised industrial connectors.

The series features two inserts to facilitate fast and secure data transmission. A D-coded version is capable of providing end devices with up to 100 Mbps Cat 5 Fast Ethernet, thereby facilitating Profinet-based communication. The second, X-coded version can even provide end devices with up to 10 Gbps, Cat 6_A connections — High-Speed Ethernet. This performance is required, for example, by applications involving live camera systems. Both data versions feature complete shielding and are fitted with crimp contacts.

The series features compact, lightweight and versatile rectangular connectors in a plastic housing. It is particularly suited to connecting decentralised devices, promoting modular system design and supporting miniaturisation in machine building automation. Han 1A solutions require up to 30% less space compared with the next-smallest rectangular connectors in the HARTING portfolio.
