Speedy termination from Profibus connectors
Harting has a novel shielded M-12 Profibus connector using the company's Harax rapid termination technique
The new connector features a robust metal body for use in harsh industrial environment, and offers protection to IP67. The Harax technique eliminates soldering or screw terminations, allowing cables and connectors to be assembled in a fraction of the time required for conventional methods. The resulting savings in time and labour costs are particularly relevant to shielded cable installations, where the addition of a shielded braid which must provide total integrity places additional demands on the installation process.

Connectors lock speedily into place
Novel termination technology combines the space-saving benefits of crimp technology with simple and rapid assembly
With the Harax rapid termination technology, the individual strands in a cable are inserted into a splicing ring and cut to length.
The shield is attached to the metal housing via a sliding ring, avoiding time-intensive working steps.
The individual strands are then terminated securely using insulation displacement technology with the aid of a union nut.
Installation time is typically reduced to a third of that formerly required.
In addition, the robust housing of the M12-L connector will absorb any forces and torque that may arise.
The new connector is rated at up to 32V and 4A, and is designed for use with conductor sizes from AWG24 to AWG22.
