New power connector offers high power in small footprint

The new Harting M12 Power solution is ideal for high power applications, yet features the small footprint of the company’s M12 connector. This is achieved by a standardization and new encoding that saves users both space and interfaces.

Responding to industry needs

The demand for higher energy products with a small footprint in automation has led to the development of new concepts and standards. Harting, for example, has participated in the development of new industry standards to make manufacturer-neutral mating faces a reality. The resulting IEC 61067-2-111 standard is the basis for the company’s M12 Power connector solutions, including this new, universal mating face with L-coding.

Key features and applications

Harting’s new universal mating face achieves 0.75kW of power thanks to its 63V/16A and five-pin L-coding. These features make the unit ideal for small servo motors, field distribution boxes, fieldbus-controlled I/O boxes, power supply devices and valve applications.

Launched at IMTS in Chicago last month, the M12 L-coded is viewed as the future standard equipment connector and is expected to completely replace the application area of the existing M12 A-coded and ⅞-inch solutions.

A leading manufacturer

The new M12 Power solution comes from the bright minds at the Harting Technology Group, and joins the company’s portfolio of connectivity solutions. The family owned, Germany-based operation employs more than 4,000 people globally, with subsidiaries and branch offices in 40 countries, including one in Saint-Laurent, Que.
