Harting Han Hood Link locking system

Harting is expanding the Han B product portfolio with the addition of a locking system. The system is made entirely of a resistant elastomer, providing optimum protection against external mechanical forces as well as good resistance to oils and gases.

A special contour and internal seal enable the connection of two standard Harting 16B hoods while simultaneously achieving an IP65 degree of protection. The product locks and seals in a single system, while housings can be quickly assembled and disassembled with minimal effort and without tools. A further variant permits housings to be locked together with both bulkhead- and surface-mounted housings.

A simple and robust locking element is advantageous in stage technology, due to the risk of connectors falling from heights and the associated damage to the locking device upon impact. This impact can be prevented by the elasticity of the product, which enables mechanical forces to be absorbed from the outside. Furthermore, extending cables in machinery can be performed quickly and conveniently.
