HARTING Han-Eco® Modular Size 4B Hoods & Housings

Introduction

The HARTING Han-Eco® Modular Size 4B is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant connector hood and housing solution designed for Han-Modular® connector systems. It provides a durable external enclosure for modular industrial connectors used in demanding power, signal, and data applications.

Part Description

HARTING Han-Eco Modular Size 4B hoods and housings are made from robust thermoplastic material, offering reduced weight compared with many conventional metal connector enclosures. Their corrosion-resistant construction makes them well suited to industrial environments where moisture, chemicals, dust, or outdoor exposure may be present.

The housings support tool-free snap-together assembly, helping simplify installation and reduce connector assembly time. When properly locked and mated, the enclosure system provides IP65 protection against dust ingress and water jets. The material also meets UL94 V-0 flammability performance requirements, supporting use in equipment with stringent safety expectations.

Designed for the Han-Modular connector ecosystem, the Size 4B housing format can accommodate modular connector insert configurations for applications that may combine power, control, signal, pneumatic, or data connections within a single interface.

Applications

Potential applications include:

• Industrial machinery connections
• Robotic workcells and automation systems
• Motor and drive connections
• Control cabinet and field wiring interfaces
• Energy storage systems
