HARTING has added a 40A crimp module to the Han-Modular industrial connector system. The new module is compatible for mating with the Han 40A axial screw module, that is already in wide use, and is particularly suitable for applications demanding the highest mechanical integrity.
A fundamental advantage of the crimp module is that it lends itself to efficient assembly, particularly in manufacturing applications where large numbers of units are involved. In these situations, significant economies can be achieved using a crimping machine such as the HARTING TC-C01. For assembly in the field, manual crimping tools are also available.
The crimp module features two power contacts rated at up to 40A at 1,000 V, and allows currents up to 60A to be transmitted with 10 mm2 strands. Assembly is via standard Han C crimp contacts with cross-sections from 1.5 mm2 to 10 mm2 (AWG 16-8).
