HARTING Han HighTemp Series high-temperature connectors

HARTING’s high-temperature connector family, the Han HighTemp Series, enables the reliable transmission of signals and power at temperatures up to 200°C in industrial environments.

The design of the series is based on established Han B and Han E series technology with the addition of temperature-resistant materials and heat-resistant design applied to all components such as contacts, insulating materials, housing, seals and grounding elements.

The basic structure of the connector consists of a bulkhead-mounted housing and a cable-side hood. The aluminium die-cast hoods and housings feature a highly compressed surface with good non-stick properties. It also has a special non-stick coating on the bulkhead-side seal which allows easy handling without significant sticking.

The rugged contact inserts use LCP (liquid crystal polymer) injection moulding to deliver good temperature resistance and mechanical stability. The temperature-resistant contacts, for either screw or crimp termination, ensure reliable connections with minimal contact resistance even at extreme temperatures.

High-temperature connectors offer savings in equipment design, manufacture and maintenance by removing the need to enclose machine parts which are exposed to high temperatures and clearing the way to modular plug-in designs. The lower wiring complexity is said to result in reduced maintenance costs, fewer outages and minimal downtime.
