HARTING is a German family company specializing in industrial connectors. It has a history of more than 70 years. Its business mainly revolves around industries such as rail transit, machinery, robotics, automation, energy and electric vehicles. In 2022, the global sales of the HARTING Technology Group will exceed 1 billion euros, especially in the fields of battery manufacturing and energy storage systems, which have achieved remarkable results.

Xian Wei, Machinery and Robot Industry Manager of HARTING China

Xian Wei, HARTING China Machinery and Robot Industry Manager, said: "The battery field is one of HARTING's fast-growing business areas. HARTING has been involved in the battery industry since at least 5 years ago, but at that time it was more domestically oriented. Battery projects. As the competition in the lithium battery industry has become increasingly fierce in the past two years, many battery equipment manufacturers have begun to expand overseas battery projects, and HARTING has also cooperated more and more closely with these equipment manufacturers.”

With the increasing modularization of equipment and systems, miniaturization and modularization have become a new trend in the development of equipment in the field of lithium battery manufacturing. There is an urgent need for compact, modular and durable connection solutions for small loads. HARTING Han®1A connectors are used And born. "The housing, ferrule and cable gland of the new Han® 1A series are all made of high-performance lightweight materials, and the connector is light in weight. In addition, we have launched the Han-Modular® domino modular connector for some applications. , not only can save about 50% of the space, but also can meet diversified connection requirements, provide more possibilities for expansion and optimization, and raise the modular industrial connector to a new level." Xian Wei introduced.

In the area of PCB connection solutions, HARTING has launched the har-modular® PCB circuit board connector, which is a modular concept based on the reliable DIN 41612 European connector; it can be modularly configured from 1 to multiple Connector. In addition, Ethernet is the first choice for data transmission in industrial applications, and HARTING provides thousands of users with a wide range of Ethernet interfaces. Through a complete product matrix, we can meet the needs of customers, bring them real competitive advantages, and realize new possibilities.

In the battery industry chain, energy storage plays an important role as an emerging energy management method. With the continuous development of energy storage technology and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, as an indispensable part of the energy storage system, the role of electrical connectors has become more prominent and has received more and more attention.

At the exhibition site, HARTING demonstrated the Han®S front-mounted solution, which is used for series or parallel connection between battery storage module units, or for connection between energy storage modules and PCS, which transmits high current and has high The benefits of performance, flexible connectivity and user security.

Finally, when talking about the delivery cycle problem that customers are concerned about, Xian Wei said: "For some standard products, we mostly produced them in Germany before, and now we have many products produced in Zhuhai factory, which can effectively solve the customer's fast delivery problem. question."
