Harting has expanded the capabilities of two best-selling modular connector series, Han-Eco and Han-Yellock, by developing dedicated, high density monoblock inserts for each. With these inserts, a single Han-Eco or Han-Yellock connector can replace a bigger connector or multiple units for significant space savings on the device or control cabinet.


The new Han-Eco monoblock E inserts with screw termination, like the existing Han-Yellock monoblocks, are designed as snap-in modules for fast, tool-free assembly. Han-Eco monoblocks use the same Han E contacts with wire protection that have already proven themselves in millions of applications, yet offer up to 67% more contact density than Han E inserts. The monoblocks have a rated voltage of 500V and current of 16A and feature a pre-leading PE contact (ground). This results in contact numbers of 10, 14, 20 and 28 plus PE for the four Han-Eco housing sizes respectively. These monoblocks can be combined with modules from the Han-Modular series in any Han-Eco housing to mix transmission media. For their part, Han-Yellock monoblocks offer 25 or 48 contacts with crimp termination for housing sizes 30 and 60 respectively.


Han-Eco connectors are made of glass-fiber reinforced high-performance plastics. This product has quickly established itself on the market in the last two years as a lower weight, economical and extremely reliable and durable alternative to metal connectors, ideal as an OEM part or aftermarket replacement. The rugged plastic housings are highly resistant to environmental influences; when locked, Han-Eco achieves protection class IP65. This, in turn, has led to its speedy adoption for use with machinery of all kinds, conveyor systems, broadcast equipment, and throughout the rail, marine and offshore wind power sectors. For its part, the award-winning, die-cast zinc Han-Yellock is distinguished by unrivalled innovations like its patented internal locking mechanism that works like a seat belt, for fast locking and push-button release. Secure locking takes place when the cable and device sides are joined together. Also, Han-Yellock can incorporate the function of multiplying potentials, dispensing with the need for terminal blocks inside a machine.
