HARTING Canada represents the peak of connectivity technology these days.

For the peak of connectivity technology, businesses across the country trust HARTING Canada. The company deems its connector solutions superior to traditional hard wiring and lugging, and with good reason. While the latter two methods are defined by permanence, due to the difficulty of uninstalling individual wires and reinstalling them correctly, connectors are quick to connect and disconnect between two points. Here are some more reasons why connectors are better, according to HARTING.

A monumental shift towards connectors

The hard-wiring method is inconvenient for users who have to install, troubleshoot, test, or maintain applications. Its only real advantages are that it is relatively inexpensive and that connecting or disconnecting via connectors adds an initial labour step and extra material. But there is a real, volatile cost to using hard wiring, typically paid by the end user. An electrician must disconnect every wire, and then when the end user gets the equipment, another electrician has to connect each wire all over again.

Mis-wiring often occurs, which leads to high troubleshooting expenses. Labelling the wires is important, and industrial equipment often has tens or hundreds of wires, so any mistaken wiring will result in wasted time and costs. This is why hard wiring is outdated.

There has been a monumental shift from the hard-wiring technique towards connectors over the past few years. The old way becomes even more inconvenient as machines and devices get more complex as as industry demands higher efficiency with less downtime. In this business landscape, HARTING connectors are the peak of innovation.

Connectors are quick and cost-effective during all stage of an application’s life cycle. Installation, maintenance, relocation: these are activities in which hard-wired solutions are impractical and lead to unplanned, unpredictable, troubleshooting expenses. Connectors do not need onsite skilled labour, and they eliminate unplanned troubleshooting.

Hard-wired components must be assembled onsite, so specialist electrical contractors and a lengthy testing process are required to make sure wiring is connected properly. But HARTING Plug & Play connectors can easily be linked to each other and equipment, resulting in an easy, flexible, and versatile installation.
