Har-bus HM combined module integrates different HM female connectors in a single unit, and allows any combination of HM types to be assembled up to 6U.

The latest addition to Harting's HM range of hard metric connectors in accordance with the IEC 61076-4-101 standard is the har-bus HM combined module. This new product integrates different HM female connectors in a single unit, and allows any combination of HM types A, B, AB and C to be assembled up to a maximum length of 6U. The combined module is particularly suited to use on boards such as the CompactPCI 6U Eurocard, where it replaces five separate connectors on the daughtercard or three connectors on the rear I/O board.

As a result, it will greatly speed manufacturing operations by reducing the number of press-in operations from five to one.

In addition to the resulting benefits in terms of reduction in manufacturing costs, it also offers additional process optimisation in the logistics area because only one part number is involved.

The connector consists of five signal contact rows and provides a maximum of 535 contacts.

It is available in both shielded and unshielded versions and is fitted with press-in contacts.
