RJ Industrial General information
HARTING RJ Industrial
®
Ethernet connector family
The modular HARTING RJ Industrial
®
family of
connectors is based on the standard RJ 45 connector
pattern, and is specifically developed for use in harsh
industrial environments. It points the way forward
in connecting Ethernet devices in industrial
applications. In many circumstances it is necessary
for connectors to be assembled on site, regardless of
whether they are being used for power or
communication. HARTING is making consistent use
of their
HARAX
®
rapid termination technology, which
has been proven in many industrial applications. With
HARAX
®
the user can terminate the cable at the
connectors without the need for special tools. The
design of the HARTING RJ Industrial
®
family of
connectors allows for quick and easy termination and
connection to Ethernet devices in either data only or
hybrid networks.
HARTING RJ Industrial
®
is the only RJ 45 connector
in the world that allows robust Ethernet cables with a
solid and stranded AWG 22 cross section to be
connected using IDC technology.The heart of each of
these connectors is the RJ 45 data module with fast
termination technology. This functions without
needing to prestrip insulation from the cores and
without special tools, creating a gas-tight connection,
which is secure against vibration. The data module
has four
HARAX
®
fast termination contacts. These
make reliable contact with stranded, industry-
standard Category 5 cables with dimensions from
AWG 22 to 24, and solid cables with conductor
cross-sections from AWG 22 to 23.
HARTING has developed a
complete family of connectors
around this innovative data
module, meeting all the needs
of industrial environments.
Solutions for IP 20 and IP 67
protection levels, standard,
push pull and latching clip-locks
are available.
Data and hybrid cables can be used. The user can fit
stranded cores with a cross section of 1.5 mm² for the
IDC power contacts on the Hybrid version, and these
can be loaded with up to 16 A.
At the device end, panel feed throughs or
couplings integrated directly into the device can
be accomodated. Consistent application of SMD
components for both data and power at the device
end keeps manufacturing costs low, and permits high
packing density within the assembly.
Field assembly of Industrial Ethernet
connectors
The facility of on-site assembly was given high
priority in the development of the new HARTING RJ
Industrial
®
family of connectors. As a result, the
connector is not just faster to terminate, but is also
easier to handle due to the reduced number of
individual parts.
All of the HARTING RJ Industrial
®
range connectors
can be re-terminated up to ten times. An electrician
can carry out assembly of the IP 20 Data version on
site in less than one minute, while the IP 67 Hybrid
version requires less than three minutes. Dismantling
is just as quick. New personnel can also learn the
individual steps involved very quickly and carry them
out reliably.
Another advantage of the quick-connection
technology is provided by the industrial-quality
shielding of the data module in the connector.
Termination of the shield which in the past has been
achieved by crimping is no longer necessary. In the
RJ Industrial connection technology,
a pair of shielding plates are
simply pushed over the data
module, and pressed together
with an audible "click". With
this, complete, 360 degree
connection of the shield
and the sheath is
achieved.
Various special tools for handling the RJ 45 data
module and the power leads are unnecessary.
HARTING supplies all the necessary components in
a complete set.
