HARTING Han-Modular connectors

As industrial systems become increasingly modular, rising demand is evident not only for flexible plug-in connections for power and signal transfer, but also for data communication. HARTING has developed the Han-Modular series to meet these demands.

Standard industrial connectors are designed for 500 mating cycles. The Han-Modular series extends beyond these capabilities and contains an increasing number of modules that have been designed for at least 10,000 mating cycles. Two shielded data modules have joined the group.

The Han Megabit HMC module, suitable for transferring up to Megabit Ethernet Cat 5e, is a good option for applications that call for reliable data transfer and a high level of robustness. The Han Gigabit HMC module enables data transfer according to Gigabit Ethernet Cat 6A. Due to the shielding, the two modules are especially suitable for transferring sensitive (bus) signals.

The Han-Modular Switch US4 features four ethernet ports and allows data exchange based on Ethernet/IP and PROFINET protocols. The switch saves space because it can be integrated into a connector with the Han-Modular hinged frame without further measures. As a result, the module is suitable for applications in which Han-Modular is already being tasked to supply machine elements with power and signals.
