Han L32 B connector by HARTING saves ample installation space

The HARTING Han L32 B connector

HARTING Canada introduced a great connectivity innovation last year – the Han L32 B, a unique connector that allows replacement of two Size 16 B interfaces. This saves more than 40 per cent of installation space, so that users can transmit power, signals, and data with fewer interfaces and fewer components.

Also reducing the required time to assemble interfaces, the lower weight is a major benefit to robotics and other applications. The Han L32 B stands for sustainable product design by helping to lower consumption.

Format offering many housing variants

The user can fill space in this connector’s housing with a Han E insulator for 32 contacts or with a Han-Modular articulated frame that can accommodate as many as eight modules. The new size provides space for the articulated frame with the most module slots, but also leads the highest module density in a connector. More than 100 HARTING Han-Modular modules allow the user to put the optimal interface together for almost any task.

The format of the Han L32 B connector offers many housing variants. Sleeve housings can be combined with a straight or lateral cable outlet with bulk-head-mounted housings, bulkhead socket housings, or coupling housings, with a choice between Han-Easy Lock transverse brackets and metal side brackets. The HARTING team provides matching cable glands in three sizes (M40, M50, and Pg29), and each of the housings is available with a cap that protects the mounting side when the user unplugs it.

One application of this unique connecting solution is use in the power supply of an injection moulding machine, in which the housing is equipped with Han E inserts. In the automotive industry, the user can team the Han L32 B up with Han pneumatic modules to transmit compressed air in small installation spaces. This housing is 57 millimetres (mm) wide, exactly 25 mm wider than the next smaller size of 24 B.

This new addition allows HARTING to offer seven sizes for the Han B, namely 6, 10, 16, 24, 32, L32, and 48. This helps to optimize installation space in different applications.
