Connector, Han Protect

Published on : Saturday 10-08-2024

Connector simplifies troubleshooting and boosts system availability.

Vital processes in industry are controlled and secured via control cabinets – for example, the air-conditioning and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for buildings and systems. With the Han® Protect, HARTING has developed a connector that simplifies the protection of infrastructure and reduces the installation space required in control cabinets.

The connector in the Han® 3A design adapts the widely installed M12 A-coded interface for I/O signals as well as integrating a 5 x 20 mm microfuse.The latter ensures that in the event of a fault, the downstream control unit is protected. The connector is installed on the outside of the control cabinet with the result that blown fuses can be recognised without opening the cabinet by means of an LED and changed without any need for tools. This obviates the need for extensive rows of fuse terminals.

Benefits:

• Up to 30 percent of installation space in the cabinet saved
• Simpler maintenance processes
• Shorter repair times, and
• Higher availability.
