Harting has introduced a slimline version of its har-speed X-coded M12 connector equipped with HARAX rapid termination IDC connection technology.

The new field-installable 8-pin M12 connector is the latest addition to Harting’s family of products for Gigabit Ethernet applications, and is intended for scenarios in automation technology where a cable needs to be attached quickly or adapted on site.

In particular, the insulation displacement contact is designed to ensure an uninterrupted connection performance by maintaining the twisting of the STP cable for as long as possible when it is drawn deep into the mating face. www.harting.co.uk
