Harting features its range of connectivity solutions for lighting, sound and automation at PLASA 2010
UK - At PLASA 2010, Harting is featuring its range of connectivity solutions specially tailored to communication and control applications in lighting, sound and automation systems for the theatre, concert and indoor/outdoor event sectors. In addition to new additions to its industrial connector family, Harting is also featuring a new Ethernet-based switching technology known as Fast Track Switching.

A key product is the Harting Han(R) family of heavy-duty connectors, which are increasingly being used on concert stages and in theatres. At PLASA, two new products within the Han(R) family are being introduced: the Han-Yellock(R) industrial connector series and the Han-Eco(R) range of high-quality plastic connector housings.

The new Han-Yellock(R) connector series incorporates a number of features that make it suited to use in stage automation, concert lighting and power distribution systems. In addition to offering an IP67 mated degree of protection, the connector features an integrated 'seat-belt' style latched locking mechanism that ensures damage limitation under harsh handling conditions. The new connector also allows single-handed mating or unmating, making it suitable for fitting in awkward access areas - often the case for theatre installations.

The new Han-Eco(R) series from Harting is a range of lightweight rugged plastic IP65 connector hoods and housings which are suited to the requirements of theatre and concert tour operators. The new devices can help to minimise the weight of flight-case or light-bar mounted lighting dimmers as well as truss-mounted hoist controllers and automation systems for theatre and concert touring.

Key features of the Han-Eco(R) Series include inserts that accommodate tool-free, snap-in, rear-mounting modules from Harting's Han-Modular(R) series fitting into front or rear mounting adaptor frames. The extensive range of modules available provides a high degree of flexibility by allowing connectors to be assembled to handle data, control, power, fibre-optic, coaxial and pneumatic signals. A separate PE module provides the necessary full grounding and finger-safe user protection for the mated system.
