HARTING D20 Full Metal Housing: New Fixing Elements

In developing the HARTING D20 full metal housing for DIN 41612 connectors the emphasis was on flexibility and handling convenience. For example, where components are installed in difficult-to-reach or confined spaces, to ensure they can be screwed in easily, internal hexagonal screws were selected as fixing screws for the D20 housing. Even if the angle is less than 25°, a ball head screwdriver can still be used.

These new metal fixing elements represent an excellent addition to the housing range plus further locking options. The new metal fixing elements create a robust mechanical connection thanks to their established screwing technology combined with a recently developed alternative screwless locking option. The D20 full metal housings can be secured manually with a noticeable ‘click’ – no additional tool needed. This makes locking and unlocking more convenient and faster. The locking levers simplify operation significantly and can also be used to aid insertion or removal of daughter cards in the 19” rack. Especially when a large number of daughter cards, closely packed, are used, this easily accessible removal aid is a great help because less force is needed. The permanent electrical connection provided by the fixing element ensures that the housing and the racking system are always in contact, hence the ideally enhanced screening properties with screening attenuation of over 30 dB characteristic of the special HF D20 housing. The robust and vibration-proof D20 housing range is the system of choice for railway applications. This explains why the new fixing element is also designed to be vibration-proof and why the plastic used for the ejection lever has the fire classification and smoke index suitable for railway applications: I2/F1 under NFF 16-101.

Biasi Develops ActivA Unique Boiler Range Biasi UK has developed ActivA, a new range of high efficiency A rated condensing boilers boasting a unique heat exchanger. The launch of ActivA is further testimony to the company's commitment to strengthen its position in the UK domestic gas boiler market. At the heart of ActivA is a newly developed pre-mix condensing heat exchanger that is manufactured in a corrosion resistant, pressure moulded aluminium. Its sectional construction means it can be easily adjusted for different boiler outputs and its 'multipass' design ensures very low resistance for both combustion and water passage. This unique heat exchanger carries a five year guarantee. Designed to provide outstanding heating performance at an affordable price for almost all types of domestic properties, the compact range boasts some of the smallest boilers available - at just 700mm high x 400 wide and only 290mm deep - thereby allowing installation in cupboards.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as
