Connectors feature termination allowing simple, quick and vibration-proof assembly

The Harting Han ES Press connector range, stocked by Farnell element14, has been expanded to include conductor termination technology that allows for simple, quick and vibration-proof assembly of conductors with or without ferrule. The plug-in jumpers can be pushed into the contact cavities without requiring force, and also enable multiple contacts to be bridged directly at the connector. The cage clamp is delivered open so that the conductor can be inserted directly and without effort. Once the installer presses the actuator into the contact chamber, the cage clamp returns to its starting position, fixing the conductor end so that the conductor is electrically connected to the contact. This connection technique permits faster termination during wiring. The connector is the first product in the company’s product family that enables bridging of individual contacts for potential multiplication. Various longitudinal and transverse bridges are available, which also enable e.g. star and delta circuits for motor control. The connectors are available in models 6, 10, 16 and 24 for housing sizes Han 6B, 10B 16B and 24B. The contact inserts are compatible with the corresponding inserts in the E, ES and ESS series. The current carrying capacity is 16A. The cage clamps used are suitable for cross-sections between 0.14mm2 and 2.5mm2 and can be used with both solid and stranded wires (with or without ferrules).
