Following the market launch of modular push-in inserts last year, the HARTING Technology Group has now added the first monoblock variant for the Han-Compact housing to its portfolio. The new Han Q 8/0 insert enables up to 30% faster field assembly of connectors thanks to the push-in technology. With the Han Q with push-in technology, power and signals up to 16 A/500 V can be transmitted in the smallest of spaces. A contact chamber is available for the protective earth conductor (PE). It is therefore particularly suitable for environments with little room for installation work. Such conditions are often found, for example, when connecting motors/actuators.
Push-in technology is a further development of the cage clamp. It makes the connection as simple as possible and is therefore particularly suitable for field assembly, for example in energy systems or when assembling machine modules/production lines. It also simplifies the handling of components, for example during maintenance work. A special tool is available for quick disassembly. If wires with ferrules are used, no tools are required for connections with push-in technology.
Strands fitted with ferrules can be inserted directly into the contact chambers for push-in connections. An internal clamping spring snaps shut when the ferrule reaches the bottom of the chamber and ensures tensile strength. With stripped stranded wires (without sleeve), the pressure of a screwdriver on the orange actuator is sufficient to hold the cage clamp open when inserting the cable ends.
The advantages of the monoblock version at a glance:
- Cost savings: installation time is reduced by up to 30 % by inserting the conductor directly into the contact chamber
- Maximum flexibility, as stranded and solid wires can be connected without tools when using ferrules
- A simple screwdriver is sufficient when using stripped stranded wires (without ferrules)
