 | | The new Han-Yellock connector series from Harting. |
ELGIN, IL-The Han-Yellock line is a new industrial
connector series from Harting which incorporates a number of features designed
to make it ideal for use in stage automation, concert lighting and power
distribution systems. In addition to offering an IP67 rated 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 ideal for fitting in awkward access areas-often the case for theatre
installations.
