Han® Easy Series, Heavy Duty Connector Accessories

Heavy-duty connector family encompasses not only the main interconnect products but also a range of ancillary components that support or complement these connectors. These ancillary components include adapters, blanking plugs, cable clamps or glands, coding pins, covers, gaskets, guide bushings and pins, locking latches, and more. Adapters are used to facilitate the connection between different types or sizes of heavy-duty connectors, allowing for compatibility and versatility in various applications. Blanking plugs are inserted into unused connector positions to provide protection from dust, moisture, and other contaminants. Cable clamps or glands are employed to secure and strain-relieve cables connected to heavy-duty connectors, ensuring proper cable management and reducing stress on the connections. Coding pins are used to enable keying or coding of connectors, preventing incorrect mating or ensuring specific connections in complex systems. Covers serve as protective enclosures for heavy-duty connectors, shielding them from environmental factors such as dust, water, and chemicals. Gaskets are used to create a seal between connector components, providing additional protection against moisture and other contaminants. Guide bushings and pins assist in the proper alignment and insertion of heavy-duty connectors, ensuring accurate mating and secure connections. Locking latches offer a mechanism to secure the connectors together, preventing unintentional disconnection due to vibration or other external forces. In the context of heavy-duty connectors, the term "heavy duty" refers to a specific range of interconnect products characterized by their rectangular format. These connectors often feature cast metal backshells, which enhance durability and robustness. Guide pins aid in proper alignment during mating, while pin-and-latch retention mechanisms ensure secure and reliable connections. To summarize, the heavy-duty connector family includes a variety of ancillary components that support and enhance the functionality of the main connectors. These components range from adapters and coding pins to cable clamps, covers, and gaskets. They are designed to provide compatibility, protection, strain relief, alignment, and secure connections within heavy-duty interconnect systems.
