MONTREAL—HARTING Technology Group is launching a new Han B bulkhead mounted housing on the market: it is equipped with a hinged cover, which automatically closes when the connector is removed. The hinged cover effectively protects the interior from external influences via a spring. This special spring on the bearing pedestal presses the hinged cover against the housing with sufficient pressure to prevent water spray and dust from entering the interior.
The new housing is locked with Han-Easy Lock levers, which are easily closed, provide a good sealing effect, and have a low operational force. In an unplugged condition the new bulkhead mounted housing meets the requirements of IP44, and in the plugged condition, such as in combination with a suitable Han B hood, it complies with the IP65 protection class.
The Han B connector range, with its housings and inserts, covers the entire range of industrial requirements for professional connection technology. Introducing the new Han Snap Cap Mechanism allows HARTING to expand the options within the Han B range for protecting electrically powered applications against external influences. The application possibilities of the bulkhead mounted housing with hinged cover range from wind turbines and wind energy systems, cranes and switchgear, all the way through to trains and trams, for motor connections in areas exposed to water spray, for example.
In all these applications, the Han B bulkhead mounted housing ensures reliability of operation – also under extreme conditions. Users can choose from standard sizes ranging from 6B to 24B.
Hail To The Chief
