New housing enables connectors to be used with cables up to 25% wider

In stock at Mouser, HARTING Han 3A M25 housing components allow the 3A size connectors to be produced with larger diameters. This enables them to be used with cables up to 25% wider. As a result, designers will be able to use contact inserts with higher rated current and bigger cross-sections, such as the Han Q series. The new housing components feature a narrow external geometry overall, terminating in the cable holding area. The housings are fully compatible with all the existing contact inserts in the series, and also meet the requirements of protection classes IP65/67. The new 3A hood is available in thermoplastic and metal versions, each with a bigger M25 thread, allowing alternative types of mounting including direct mounting on control cabinets. For the metal versions of the housings, coupling hoods are also available alongside the existing sleeve housings. This allows the use of flying connections in addition to alternative types of mounting, making them ideal for retrofits. Other versions, such as the EMV electrically conductive unit and the M type for stricter corrosion requirements, are also available.
