Rectangular connectors for industrial reliability

29 May 2026 Interconnection

HARTING Han rectangular connectors are the established industry standard for reliable, pluggable connectivity in harsh industrial environments. Designed to support machine modularisation and simplify installation, Han connectors enable secure transmission of power, signal, and data through a single rugged interface. Their rectangular heavy-duty design ensures long service life, high mechanical stability, and dependable performance in demanding applications such as machinery, transport, energy, and automation technology.

The Han portfolio offers exceptional flexibility through a wide range of connector sizes, contact inserts, and housings. Users can select screw, crimp, or cage-clamp termination methods, along with metal or thermoplastic hoods and housings rated up to IP65 and higher when mated. This modular approach allows systems to be precisely tailored to application requirements, while reducing wiring complexity and installation time.

For advanced system integration, Han-Modular connectors allow different transmission media, including power, signals, data, and even compressed air, to be combined within a single connector housing. This results in compact designs, reduced interfaces, and improved efficiency for modern industrial equipment. HARTING Han rectangular connectors deliver a future-proof connection solution for industrial connectivity challenges.
