Connector housing offers versatile mounting possibilities

Harting has introduced a new angled Han 3A housing panel mount with a square mounting flange that permits attachment in either a vertical or horizontal configuration.

This is achieved in conjunction with the identical panel cutout, so the cable outlet direction can be adapted in an extremely flexible manner.

Featuring M25 cable entry, the new metal hood allows use of cables with larger diameters: up to 25 percent larger than existing systems.

The ability to use larger-diameter cables is particularly appropriate for systems featuring inserts from Harting's recently introduced Han Q series, such as the Han Q3/0, Han Q4/0 and Han® QHD, which require a wider cable entry.

The new hood is compatible with all existing Han 3A contact inserts, and meets the requirements of IP 65/67. The recessed flange seal also guarantees optimal electrical contact between the connector housing and motors or other connected equipment, and features excellent EMC characteristics.
