Protection for industrial connectors

The Han(R) HPR series of industrial connector housings from Harting now includes a protective cover for size 3A bulkhead and surface mounting housings.

The new cover protects the contact inserts from environmental influences when not in use; in particular effects that can cause outages in outdoor applications in the industrial and rail sectors. This represents a challenge for interfaces that are not always in use, such as service interfaces.

The Han(R) HPR protective cover has the same screw locking system that is used for the hoods and fulfils IP68 protection requirements according to IEC 60529 in the locked position. It is optionally available with a stainless steel lanyard, that ensures the cover will not be lost.
