HARTING Han® 4B Standard Rectangular Power Connectors

Introduction

HARTING Han® 4B connectors are compact rectangular power connector housings designed to deliver dependable power connections where installation space is limited. They combine a robust industrial form factor with modular configuration options for flexible equipment design.

Part Description

The Han® 4B is part of HARTING’s rectangular power connector portfolio. Its compact housing supports up to two Han-Modular® inserts or four modular Dominos, allowing designers to configure connections around the needs of a particular machine or installation.

These connectors are intended for applications requiring high power density in a manageable footprint. When assembled with compatible inserts, accessories, and appropriate sealing components, the system can provide IP65 and NEMA Type 4, 4X, and 12 environmental protection. This makes the Han® 4B suitable for protected industrial connections exposed to dust, washdown conditions, or outdoor-style enclosure requirements.
