DAS Company is an authorized HARTING distribution partner, stocking and supplying the complete HARTING industrial connectivity portfolio — Han® rectangular heavy-duty connectors (Han 3A, Han 10A, Han 16A, Han 24A), Han-Modular® multi-media modular inserts, Han-Eco® plastic housings, RJ Industrial® M12 and RJ45 field-assembly Ethernet connectors and ix Industrial® compact Ethernet interfaces — to machine builders, panel builders and automation engineers across Europe from our Bulgaria distribution base.
HARTING, founded in Minden, Germany in 1945, invented the industrial heavy-duty rectangular connector and the Han® series remains the global market standard for pluggable machine and panel interconnection. The Han® range covers contact inserts for 6A to 200A power contacts, 0.14–6 mm² signal contacts and combinations of both in a unified housing system — from the compact Han 1A (for small drives and controllers) through the Han 3A (the most widely installed robotics and machinery connector worldwide) to the Han 16A and Han 24A for high-current machine supply connections. All Han® housings (hoods and housings for surface, flange, cable and panel mounting) share the same external dimensions across power ratings — enabling design standardisation across a machine family with different power requirements. The Han® ES Press tool-less termination (push-in spring contact, available on Han 3A, Han 6A and Han 10A inserts) reduces field assembly time by up to 30% compared to screw-crimp termination — with plug-in jumper bridges for contact shorting directly at the connector without opening the housing. The Han® 100A touch-safe module provides a single high-current contact in a Han-Modular® frame position — enabling safe live handling of energised connectors in tool-change and machine-module exchange applications.
The HARTING Han-Modular® system allows machine designers to assemble a single connector insert combining power contacts, signal contacts, data contacts (RJ45, M12, fibre optic) and pneumatic air connections — all in one standard Han® housing. This replaces multiple separate connector housings (power connector + signal connector + Ethernet connector + pneumatic quick-connect) with a single mating interface — reducing the machine connection footprint, preventing incorrect inter-connector mating and enabling faster machine module exchange. The Han-Modular® Domino (introduced 2022) provides space savings of up to 50% versus standard module widths — fitting twice the contact density into the same housing width for high-density machine interconnection on space-constrained machine tool and robot end-effector interfaces. Placeholder modules enable future-proofing: unused frame positions are filled with blanking modules that can later be replaced with active contact modules as machine functionality is extended — without changing the connector housing or cable assembly. The Han-Modular® Flexbox provides a modular plastic housing interface for energy chain (cable drag chain) applications — enabling long, linearly moving cable runs on gantry machines and linear transport systems with tool-less module exchange at the machine end.
The HARTING Han-Eco® range provides Han® standard-footprint hoods and housings manufactured from high-performance thermoplastic — offering significant weight reduction (up to 50% lighter than aluminium die-cast equivalents) and cost reduction for applications where the mechanical robustness of metal housings is not required. Han-Eco® housings are UV-stabilised and rated for both indoor and outdoor use — covering machine outdoor connection points, portable equipment and renewable energy applications where connector weight and cost directly affect system economics. The same Han® contact inserts used in metal housings install directly into Han-Eco® housings — protecting tooling and assembly investment when migrating from metal to plastic housing specifications. HARTING's bio-based plastic Han-Eco® (launched 2024) uses partially renewable raw material feedstock — reducing the CO₂ footprint of the connector housing for sustainability-targeted OEM procurement specifications.
The HARTING RJ Industrial® is a complete, matched industrial Ethernet cabling system — covering RJ45 plugs (IP20 and IP65/67 in Han 3A housing), patch cables, M12 D-coded (100 Mbit/s) and M12 X-coded (1 Gbit/s) circular connectors, keystone jacks, panel-mount sockets and pre-assembled system cables. The RJ Industrial® RJ45 plug field-terminates without special tools — enabling on-site cable assembly in machine cabinets and junction boxes without a termination press or dedicated Ethernet assembly tool. Hybrid RJ Industrial® connectors combine RJ45 data contact with power supply contacts in a single connector body — reducing the cable count and connector space for PoE-equivalent power-and-data machine connections by 50%. The complete RJ Industrial® system covers PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP — all common industrial Ethernet protocols run on the same RJ Industrial® hardware infrastructure. M12 D-coded and X-coded field-assembly connectors are available in both standard IP67 and high-vibration locking variants for robot and mobile machine Ethernet connections subject to repeated mating cycles.
The HARTING ix Industrial® (IEC 61076-3-124) is a compact industrial Ethernet connector designed as the machine-integrated alternative to RJ45 for space-constrained device integration — providing 10 Gbit/s data rate capability in a connector body 70% smaller than RJ45 with IP20 and IP67 variants. The ix Industrial® is adopted by major automation brands as the onboard Ethernet port for next-generation PLCs, HMIs, servo drives and I/O modules — enabling higher port density on device front panels where multiple RJ45 ports would exceed the available panel space. PROFINET-compliant ix Industrial® interfaces support all PROFINET RT and IRT communication classes — making ix Industrial® the forward-compatible Ethernet interface for PROFINET-based machine panel designs that will outlast the RJ45 generation of industrial Ethernet connectors.
The HARTING Han-Yellock® provides a push-button locking heavy-duty connector without separate latching levers or locking screws — enabling tool-free single-hand mating and demating for frequent machine module exchange applications in flexible manufacturing, AGV docking and collaborative robot end-effector change systems. The yellow colour coding provides immediate visual identification of service connection points on machine panels. The HARTING har-port system provides aesthetic panel-mount service interfaces (USB-A, USB-C, RJ45, D-Sub, HDMI) for machine front panels, medical equipment and building automation control panels — combining industrial robustness with consumer-interface compatibility in a visually consistent panel-mount design.
