DAS Company is an authorized Hirschmann Automotive distribution partner, stocking and supplying the complete Hirschmann Automotive connector and sensor portfolio — SealStar and SealStar HMK sealed automotive plug connector systems (LV 214 water-tight), EasyConn compact VDA AK compliant connector housings, HPS high-power connectors for EV auxiliary units and on-board chargers, automotive sensor systems (combustion and EV drivetrains) and oil-resistant cable assemblies — to automotive Tier 1/Tier 2 suppliers, OEM equipment manufacturers and vehicle repair specialists across Europe from our Bulgaria distribution base.
Hirschmann Automotive GmbH, headquartered in Rankweil, Vorarlberg, Austria, is a leading developer and manufacturer of automotive connector systems, contact systems, sensor systems and cable assemblies for the global automotive industry — serving OEM vehicle manufacturers and their Tier 1 and Tier 2 system suppliers across all drive technologies, from conventional combustion engine vehicles through hybrid and battery electric vehicles. Hirschmann Automotive designs its connector systems in close collaboration with major European and global OEMs and their system manufacturers — ensuring that SealStar and HPS connector families meet the specific performance, packaging and assembly requirements of production vehicle programmes before catalogue release. The company's product development philosophy combines compact packaging, high performance under extreme environmental conditions and ergonomic assembly — reducing vehicle assembly line installation time while maintaining the long-term reliability standards required by automotive OEM quality systems (IATF 16949, VDA 6.x). Hirschmann Automotive operates a direct webshop at shop.hirschmann-automotive.com for standard SealStar catalogue products — providing engineers access to technical data, specifications, drawings and 3D models alongside sample requests, complemented by DAS Company's B2B volume procurement and Eastern European project supply capability.
The Hirschmann Automotive SealStar family is the core sealed connector system for automotive applications requiring water ingress protection in accordance with LV 214 — the German automotive OEM standard for connector sealing performance in engine compartment, underbody, door, lighting and exterior sensor applications. SealStar connectors are characterised by compact external dimensions (minimising space claim in packed vehicle harness routing), high temperature resistance (covering engine bay and transmission tunnel thermal environments), and high vibration resistance (meeting automotive road vibration profiles without connector fretting or contact resistance increase). The 1.2 mm contact pitch SealStar (female housing variants in 3-way, 4-way, 6-way, 8-way, 12-way configurations) serves miniaturised sealed connector applications in compact sensors, LED lighting modules, body control modules and ADAS sensor harnesses where package space is the primary constraint. The SealStar HMK variant extends the family for high-mating-cycle applications — providing enhanced contact durability for frequently disconnected service connectors on engine accessories, transmission control modules and adaptive chassis components that are replaced as service items during vehicle maintenance. Protective caps compatible with SealStar and SealStar HMK housings prevent contamination of unsealed connector halves during vehicle assembly — maintaining sealing integrity from the harness assembly plant through to vehicle final assembly line installation.
The Hirschmann Automotive EasyConn family provides compact connector housings in male and female versions across multiple pole numbers for general automotive wiring harness applications — compliant with VDA AK (Verband der Automobilindustrie Arbeitskreis) connector guidelines for interoperability across German OEM vehicle programmes. EasyConn housings accommodate multiple contact system types — providing design flexibility for system manufacturers who specify EasyConn housing geometry while selecting contact systems to match the electrical requirements of their specific application. The colour and mechanical coding options available across the EasyConn family prevent incorrect mating between adjacent connectors on the vehicle harness — a critical feature in dense harness routing zones where multiple similar connectors are accessible simultaneously during assembly or service. The secure latching function — ergonomically designed for comfortable connector engagement confirmation by assembly operators — provides audible and tactile confirmation of full connector seating, reducing mis-mated connector quality escapes on vehicle assembly lines. High thermal stress resistance covers EasyConn use in powertrain-adjacent applications where ambient temperatures exceed the standard automotive passenger compartment range.
The Hirschmann Automotive HPS (High Power Supply) connector family connects high-voltage auxiliary units in battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) — covering air-conditioning compressors, DC-DC converters, PTC heaters, high-voltage junction boxes and all on-board chargers available on the current EV market. HPS connectors are engineered for the specific challenges of high-voltage EV auxiliary connection: safe handling during vehicle service (high-voltage interlock, CPA connector position assurance), reliable performance under the thermal cycling and vibration load of EV auxiliary components, and compact packaging compatible with the dense underbonnet architecture of modern EV platforms. The HPS range covers all on-board charger variants currently in production — providing a single connector family that OEM vehicle manufacturers and Tier 1 charger system suppliers can apply across their complete BEV and PHEV vehicle line-up without programme-specific connector tooling investment. As the automotive industry transitions from conventional 12V/48V auxiliary systems to 400V and 800V EV architectures, Hirschmann Automotive's HPS programme provides the certified high-voltage connector technology required for safe and reliable EV auxiliary system integration.
Hirschmann Automotive's sensor system portfolio covers intelligent sensing solutions for both combustion engine vehicles and alternative drive (electric, hybrid, hydrogen) powertrains — providing the sensor integration expertise that allows Hirschmann to supply complete sensing sub-assemblies rather than bare connector components to automotive Tier 1 system manufacturers. Combustion engine sensor applications include speed sensors, position sensors and temperature sensors for engine management, transmission control and exhaust gas aftertreatment systems. For electric and hybrid drivetrains, Hirschmann Automotive sensor systems address the new sensing requirements of battery pack thermal management, electric motor control, power electronics monitoring and regenerative braking systems — all requiring sealed, vibration-resistant miniature connectors and sensor bodies compatible with high-voltage EV architectures. The sensor product range also covers the PowerSports vehicle category — motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles and marine powertrains — extending Hirschmann Automotive's sealed connector and sensor expertise beyond the passenger car and commercial vehicle segments.
Hirschmann Automotive's cable assembly portfolio provides complete wiring harnesses and sub-assemblies combining miniaturised sealed connectors with application-specific cable constructions — covering oil-proof wiring harnesses for engine compartment and transmission applications, waterproof assemblies for underbody and exterior lighting applications, and high-temperature harnesses for exhaust-adjacent sensor and actuator wiring. The company continuously optimises cable assembly weight and dimensional packaging — reducing harness cross-sectional area and total vehicle weight in the compact routing paths that characterise modern vehicle underbonnet architectures. Vibration-resistant overmoulded connector transitions are standard on assemblies for high-vibration installation locations — engine mounts, compressor brackets, suspension components — where separate moulded seals would be displaced under service conditions. Custom cable assembly design and production capability enables Hirschmann Automotive to supply vehicle programme-specific harness sub-assemblies to Tier 1 system manufacturers as integrated components rather than loose parts requiring on-site assembly.
