Hinged frame added to connector range

The new frame allows Han-Modular(R) components to be integrated with the company's family of High Mating Cycle (HMC) connectors, which are designed to handle more than 10,000 mating cycles.

The new Han-Modular(R) Hinged Frame HMC has a specially plated PE (Protective Earth) contact with enhanced mechanical stability. These modifications enable the frame to be used in scenarios where the number of mating cycles exceeds 10,000 with no loss in performance.

The new frame permits integration of the Han-Modular(R) system into applications involving modular structured production facilities. These connectors are subject to ever-increasing demands because of more frequent intervals between retooling and machinery changeovers, with users demanding identical performance and reliability despite a higher number of mating cycles. Mobile equipment and medical technology present similar application challenges.
