Modular rectangular connectors by HARTING tackle many combinations

HARTING makes innovative rectangular connectors.

HARTING Canada is the country’s leading source of connectivity solutions, a reputation carried forth from its German founder, Wilhelm Harting. This unique inventor created the company’s line of modular rectangular connectors more than 60 years ago, and the result was a steady flow of exceptional innovations that continues today.

The HARTING parent corporation remains the global market-share leader in heavy-duty industrial connectors, due to such breakthroughs as this rectangular unit.

Supporting continuing market demands

For three-quarters of a century the HARTING Technology Group has been adapting its robust electrical connectors to support continuing and ever-evolving market demands in factory automation. The company developed the user-configurable modular connector close to 30 years ago, and this became a game changer for modular machine and plant layout – as well as its signature product and fastest-growing business segment. In more recent connector models, HARTING imbues decades worth of improvement in modularity, durability, fast field assembly, ingress and intrusion protection, flexible termination options, and other areas.

These modular rectangular connectors can be configured with off-the-shelf inserts in order to carry multiple signal media. There are modules available for ranges from a few milliamps to 200 amps, voltages up to 5,000 volts, pneumatic hosing, data lines, shielded bus signals, optical cables (POF or glass fibre), and other features – resulting in a custom, application-specific connector series, assembled wholly from catalogue components. Users can work with a large number of combinations, which makes modular connectors more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective than standard hardwired connections are. HARTING offers a mobile app to support its customers, one that allows them to configure their own custom modular connectors and get estimates of how much money they can save by choosing connector solutions over multiple installations.

HARTING’s series of modular rectangular connectors offer an ideal platform for users to create smart connectors for smart factories in the future. The company continues to lead development and production of these solutions through its Quality and Technology Centre at the global corporate headquarters in Espelkamp, Germany, using world-class research and development. This has been the HARTING tradition since 1945.
