Hoods/housings connector insert protection

The connector’s housing, sealing and locking mechanism protect the connection from external influences such 

as  mechanical shocks, foreign bodies, humidity, dust, water or other fluids such as cleansing and cooling agents, 

oils, etc. The degree of protection the housing offers is explained in the IEC 60 529, DIN EN 60 529, standards 

that  categorize enclosures according to foreign body and water protection.
The following table shows the different degrees of protection.

 Q

A perfect crimp connection is gastight, therefore corrosion 

free and amounts to a cold weld of the parts being connected. 

For this reason, major features in achieving high quality crimp 

connections are the design of the contact crimping parts and of 

course the crimping tool itself. Wires to be connected must be 

carefully matched with the correct size of crimp contacts. If these 

basic requirements are met, users will be assured of highly relia-

ble connections with low contact resistance and high resistance 

to corrosive attack.
The economic and technical advantages are:
●  Constant contact resistance as a result of precisely repeated 

crimp connection quality

●  Corrosion free connections as a result of cold weld action
●  Pre-preparation of cable forms with crimp contacts fitted
●  Optimum cost cable connection
Requirements for crimp connectors are laid down in  

DIN EN 60 352-2 as illustrated in the table.

Pull out force of stranded wire

The main criterion by which to judge the quality of a crimp con-

nection is the retention force achieved by the wire conductor in 

the terminal section of the contact. DIN EN 60 352-2 defines the 

extraction force in relation to the cross-section of the conductor. 

When fitted using HARTING crimping tools and subject to their 

utilization in an approved manner, our crimp connectors comply 

with the required extraction forces.

Crimping tools

Crimping tools (hand operated or automatic) are carefully desi-

gned to produce with high pressure forming parts a symmetrical 

connection of the crimping part of the contact and the wire being 

connected with the minimum increase in size at the connection 

point. The positioner automatically locates the crimp and wire at 

the correct point in the tool.
A ratchet in the tool performs 2 functions:
●  It prevents insertion of the crimp into the tool for crimping 

before the jaws are fully open

●  It prevents the tool being opened before the crimping action is 

completed

Identical, perfectly formed, connections can be produced using 

this crimping system.

Increasing the tightening torque does not improve considerably the contact resistances.The torque moments were determined when 

optimum mechanical, thermal and electrical circumstances were given. If the recommended figures are considerably exceeded the wire 

or the termination can be damaged.

Terminations technology

Axial screw terminal

This termination combines the benefits of screw and crimp termi-

nations:
●  Less space required
●  Easy handling
●  No special tools

Remarks on the axial screw technique

The wire gauges mentioned in the catalogue refer to geometric 

wire gauges of cables.
Background:
According to DIN VDE 0295 for cables and insulated wires the 

wire gauge will be determined by conductance (Ω/km) and maxi-

mum wire diameter. A minimum cable diameter is not specified! 

(Example:nominal wire gauge 95 mm² → real, geometric wire 

gauge 89 mm²)
Recommendation:
The use of cables with an extreme geometric wire gauge deviati-

on should be checked separately with the use of the axial screw 

termination.

Strain relief:
For safe operation the cable must be fixed at an adequate 

distance from the terminal to ensure that the contact is protected 

against radial stress. 
Details for professional strain relief design can be found in the 

standard DIN VDE 0100-520: 2003-06 (see enclosed table).

Cables:
The axial screw technology is developed for wires according to 

DIN EN 60 228 class 5 (see table: Wire assembly according to 

DIN EN 60 228). Deviating cable assemblies have to be tested 

separately. 

Assembly remarks:
Before starting the assembly the user must ensure that the axial 

cone is screwed fully downward to completely open the contact 

chamber.
After stripping the cable insulation the strands must not be 

twisted and the maximum cable insulation must not exceed the 

recommended dimension.
Insert the wire completely into the contact chamber until the 

copper strands reach the bottom. Keep the cable in position 

while applying the recommended tightening torque. 

Maintenance of the axial screw termination:
After initial assembly it is only allowed to reapply the recommen-

ded tightening torque once in order to avoid damage to individual 

cable strands.

The user can attach a marker to the cable sheathing in order to specify the proper point for tightening the axial screw on the connecting 

cable. If the cable in pushed into the insulating base up to the marker (where the marker is flush with the upper edge of the insulating 

base), then the cable is in the proper position and may be connected. The following figure (on the next page) illustrates this process

Electrical engineering data

General

The choice of connectors entails more than just considering factors 

such as functionality, the number of contacts, current and voltage 

ratings. It is equally important to take account of where the con-

nectors are to be used and the prevailing ambient conditions. This 

in turn means that, dependent on the conditions under which they 

are to be installed and pursuant to the relevant standards, different 

voltage and current ratings may apply for the same connectors.

The most important influencing factors and the corresponding 

electrical characteristics of the associated connectors are illus-

trated here in greater detail.

Overvoltage category

The overvoltage category is dependent on the mains voltage and 

the location at which the equipment is installed. It describes the 

maximum overvoltage resistance of a device in the event of a pow-

er supply system fault, e. g. in the event of a lightening strike.

The overvoltage category affects the dimensioning of components 

in that it determines the clearance air gap. Pursuant to the relevant 

standards, there are 4 overvoltage categories.

Equipment for industrial use, such as fall HARTING heavy 

duty Han connector, fall into Overvoltage Category III.

Equipment of 

overvoltage category IV

 is for use at the origin of 

the installation.
Note 1: Examples of such equipment are electricity meters and 

primary overcurrent protection equipment.

Equipment of 

overvoltage category III 

is equipment in fixed in-

stallations and for cases where the reliability and the availability 

of the equipment is subject to special requirements.
Note 2: Examples of such equipment are switches in the fixed 

installation and equipment for industrial use with permanent con-

nection to the fixed installation.

Equipment of 

overvoltage category II

 is energy-consuming 

equipment to be supplied from the fixed installation.
Note 3: Examples of such equipment are appliances, portable 

tools and other household equipment with similar loads.

If such equipment is subjected to special requirements with 

regard to reliability and availability, overvoltage category III ap-

plies.

Equipment of 

overvoltage category I

 is equipment for connec-

Electrical engineering data

Pollution degree

The dimensioning of operating equipment is dependent on envi-

ronmental conditions. Any pollution or contamination may give rise 

to conductivity that, in combination with moisture, may affect the 

insulating properties of the surface on which it is deposited. The 

pollution degree influences the design of components in terms of 

the creepage distance.

The pollution degree is defined for exposed, unprotected insula-

tion on the basis of environmental conditions.

HARTING heavy duty Han connectors are designed as stand-

ard for Pollution Degree 3.

Pollution degree 1 

 

in air-conditioned or clean, dry rooms, such as computer and 

measuring instrument rooms, for example.

Pollution degree 2 

 

in residential, sales and other business premises, precision en-

gineering workshops, laboratories, testing bays, rooms used for 

medical purposes. As a result of occasional moisture condensa-

tion, it is to be anticipated that pollution/contamination may be tem-

porarily conductive.

Pollution degree 3 

 

in industrial, commercial and agricultural premises, unheated 

storage premises, workshops or boiler rooms, also for the 

electrical components of assembly or mounting equipment 

and machine tools.

Pollution degree 4 

 

in outdoor or exterior areas such as equipment mounted on the 

roofs of locomotives or tramcars.

Extract from DIN EN 60 664-1 (VDE 0110-1), 

Para. 4.6.2

Pollution degree 1: 

No pollution or only dry, non-conductive 

 pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.

Pollution degree 2: 

Only non-conductive pollution occurs  except 

that occasionally a temporary conductivity caused by condensa-

tion is to be excepted.

Pollution degree 3: 

Conductive pollution occurs or dry non-

conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to 

condensation which is to be expected.

Pollution degree 4: 

Continuous conductivity occurs due to con-

ductive dust, rain or other wet conditions.

Special ruling for connectors

Subject to compliance with certain preconditions, the stand-

ard for connectors permits a lower pollution degree than that 

which applies to the installation as a whole. This means that 

in a pollution degree 3 environment, connectors may be used 

which are electrically rated for pollution degree 2. 

 

The basis for this is contained in DIN EN 61 984, Para. 

6.19.2.3.

Extract form DIN EN 61 984, Para. 6.19.2.3

For a connector with a degree of protection IP 54 or higher 

 according to IEC 60 529 the insulating parts inside the enclosure 

may be dimensioned for a lower pollution degree.

This also applies to mated connectors where enclosure is  ensured 

by the connector housing and which may only be disengaged for 

test and maintenance purposes.

The conditions fulfills,

  a connector which is protected to at least IP 54 as per IEC 

60 529,

  

a connector which is installed in a housing and which as 

 described in the standard is disconnected for testing and main-

tenance purposes only,

  a connector which is installed in a housing and which when 

 disconnected is protected by a cap or cover to at least IP 54,

  a connector located inside a switching cabinet to at least IP 54.

These conditions do not extend to connectors which when dis-

connected remain exposed to the industrial atmosphere for an 

 indefinite  period.

It should be noted that pollution can affect a connector from the 

 inside of an installation outwards.

Typical applications in which to choose pollution 

 degree 2 connectors:

  A connector serving a drive motor which is disconnected only for 

the purpose of replacing a defective motor, even when the plant 

or system otherwise calls for pollution degree 3.

  Connectors serving a machine of modular design which are dis-

connected for transport purposes only and enable rapid erection 

and reliable commissioning. In transit, protective covers or ad-

equate packing must be provided to ensure that the connectors 

are not affected by pollution/contamination.

  Connectors located inside a switching cabinet to IP 54. In such 

cases, it is even possible to dispense with the IP 54 housings of 

the connectors themselves.

Specifying electrical data

Electrical data for connectors are specified as per DIN EN 

61 984.

Electrical engineering data

Other terms explained

Clearance air gap  

The shortest distance through the air between two conductive ele-

ments (see DIN EN 60 664-1 (VDE 0110-1), Para. 3.2). The air 

gaps are determined by the surge voltage withstand level.

Creepage distance 

 

Shortest distance on the surface of an solid

 

insulating material 

between two conductive elements (see DIN EN 60 664-1 (VDE 

0110-1), Para. 3.3). The creepage distances are dependent on the 

rated voltage, the pollution degree and the characteristics of the 

insulating material.

Working voltage   

Fixed voltage value on which operating and performance data 

are based. More than one value for rated voltage or rated voltage 

range may be specified for the same connector.

Rated impulse voltage 

 

The rated impulse voltage is determined on the basis of the over-

voltage category and the nominal power supply voltage. This level 

in turn directly determines the test voltage for testing the overvolt-

age resistance of the connector 

(Waveform voltage in 1.2/50 µs 

as per IEC 60 060-1)

.

Working current   

Fixed current, preferably at an ambient temperature of 40 °C, 

which the connector can carry on a permanent basis (without 

interruption), passing simultaneously through all contacts which 

are in turn connected to the largest possible conductors, with-

out exceeding the upper temperature limit. 

 

The dependence of the rated current on ambient temperature is 

illustrated in the respective derating diagrams.

Transient overvoltages 

 

Short-term overvoltage lasting a few milliseconds or less, oscil-

latory or non-oscillatory, generally heavily damped (see DIN EN 

60 664-1 (VDE 0110-1, Para. 3.7.2). An overvoltage may occur as 

a result of switching activities, a defect or lightening surge, or may 

be intentionally created as a necessary function of the equipment 

or component.

Power-frequency withstand voltage  

A power-frequency overvoltage (50/60 Hz). 

 

Applied for a duration of one minute when testing dielectric strength.  

For test voltages in association with surge voltage withstand lev-

els, see extract from Table 8, DIN EN 61 984.

CTI (Comparative Tracking Index)   

This figure gives an indication of the conductivity of insulating 

materials and affects the specified creepage distances. The in-

fluence of the CTI value on the creepage distance is as follows: 

the higher the index value, the shorter the creepage distance. The 

CTI is used to divide plastics into insulation groups.

Protection levels as per IEC 60 529   

The protection level describes the leak-proof character of hous-

ing, e. g. for electrical equipment. It ranges from IP 00 to IP 68. 

 HARTING heavy duty Han connectors feature a standard protec-

tion level of IP 65 (see page 00.09, Table based on DIN EN 60 529, 

IEC 60 529).

Derating diagram as per DIN EN 60 512-5 

 

These diagrams are used to illustrate the maximum current carry-

ing capacity of components. The illustration follows a curve which 

shows the current in relation to ambient temperature. Current car-

rying capacity is limited by the thermal characteristics of contacts 

and insulating elements which have an upper temperature limit 

which should not be exceeded.

Current carrying capacity

Current carrying capacity

The current carrying capacity is determined in tests which are 

 conducted on the basis of the DIN EN 60 512-5. The current carry-

ing capacity is limited by the thermal properties of materials which 

are used for inserts as well as by the insulating materials. These 

components have a limiting temperature which should not be ex-

ceeded.

The relationship between the current, the temperature rise (loss 

at the contact resistance) and the ambient temperature of the 

 connector is represented by a curve. On a linear coordinate  system 

the  current lies on the vertical line (ordinate) and the  ambient 

 temperature on the horizontal line (abscissa) which ends at the 

upper limiting temperature.

In another measurement the self-heating (

t) at different currents 

is determined.

At least 3 points are determined which are connected to a  parabolic 

curve, the basic curve.

The corrected current carrying capacity curve is derived from this 

basic curve. The reasons for the correction are external factors 

that bring an additional limitation to the current carrying capacity, 

i.e. connectable wire gauge or an unequal dispersion of current.

Example of a current capacity curve

Definition: The rated current is the continuous, not interrupted 

 current a connector can take when simultaneous power on all con-

tacts is given, without exceeding the maximum temperature.

Example of a current carrying curve

Acc. to DIN EN 61 984 the sum of ambient temperature and the 

temperature rise of a connector shall not exceed the upper limiting 

temperature. The limiting temperature is valid for a complete con-

nector, that means insert plus housing.

As a result the insert gives the limit for the temperature of a com-

plete connector and thus housings as well.

In practice it is not usual to load all terminals simultaneously with 

the maximum current. In such a case one contact can be loaded 

with a higher current as permitted by the current capacity curve, if 

less than 20 % of the whole is loaded.

However, for these cases there are no universal rules. The 

 limits have to be determined individually from case to case. It is 

 recommended to proceed in accordance with the relevant rules of 

the DIN EN 60 512-5.

Current carrying capacity

Transient current carrying capacity

A transient current in circuits can be generated by switching 

 operations such as the starting of a motor or a short circuit in a 

faulty installation. This can cause thermal stress at the contact. 

These short and very high increases cannot be dissipated quickly 

and therefore a local heating effect at the contact is the result. 

Contact design is an important feature when transient currents are 

encountered. HARTING contacts are machined from solid  material 

and are therefore relatively unaffected by short overloads when 

compared to stamped and formed designs. For guidance please 

see the table below.

Short circuit carrying capacity

Low currents and voltages

HARTING’s standard contacts have a silver plated surface. This 

precious metal has excellent conductive properties. In the course 

of a contact’s lifetime, the silver surface generates a black oxide 

layer due to its affinity to sulphur. This layer is smooth and very 

thin and is partly interrupted when the contacts are mated and 

 

unmated, thus guaranteeing very low contact resistances. In 

the case of very low currents or voltages small changes to the 

 transmitted signal may be encountered. This is illustrated below 

where an artifically aged contact representing a twenty year life is 

compared with a new contact.

In systems where such a change to the transmitted signal could 

lead to faulty functions and also in extremely aggressive environ-

ments, HARTING recommend the use of gold plated contacts.

Below is a table derived from actual experiences.

Cross Reference from Pg thread to metric cable thread

The Cross Reference table shows the correlation 
between the Pg versions and the new metric types.

Please notice that the maximum cable diameter will 
be reduced by the new metric cable glands.

Below is shown the cable range of metric glands:

The reason for the new product offerings is the publication of the international DIN EN 50262 metric thread 
specification. The existing Pg series, Pg 7 to Pg 48 will be, in time, replaced by the metric series M 12 to M 
63.

The adoption of metric threads considerably simplifies the understanding and specification of glands as the 
product type description contains the thread dimension. E.g. M 20 refers to 20 mm thread diameter.

To differentiate the metric threaded hoods and housings  
from the previous Pg versions metric types will be marked with

  

M
