Using an L32 B connector allows users to replace two 16 B interfaces – saving 40% installation space. This makes it possible to transmit power, signals and data with fewer interfaces and fewer components. It also reduces the time required to assemble the interfaces. The lower weight is also advantageous for a number of other applications, for example in robotics. The solution not only saves space but also contributes to lower consumption – which stands for sustainable product design.
Highest module density in a connector
The space inside the housing of the Han® L32 B can be filled with a Han E® insulator for 32 contacts (16 A / 500 V) or with a hinged frame made of Han-Modular® that can accommodate up to eight modules. As a result, the new format not only provides space for the hinged frame with the most module slots — but it also leads to the highest module density in a connector. More than 100 Han-Modular® modules mean users can create the optimal interface for virtually any application.

It Han® L32 Bformat offers a wide range of housing variants: sleeve housings with a straight or lateral cable exit can be combined with partition-mounted housings, bulkhead mounting housings or coupling housings, which give the customer the choice between Han-Easy Lock® cross brackets and side brackets made of metal .
Corresponding cable glands are available in sizes M40, M50 and Pg29. The housings are equipped with a cap that protects the mounting side when not plugged in.
One of the first applications of the L32 B is in the power supply of an injection molding machine, where the housing is equipped with Han E® inserts. In the automotive industry, the L32 B is also used together with pneumatic Han® modules to transfer compressed air in a minimum installation space. At 57mm, the L32 B's housing is exactly 25mm wider than the next smaller size of 24 B. The new addition means that HARTING now offers a total of seven sizes of the Han® B: 6, 10, 16, 24, 32, L32 and 48. This facilitates the optimal use of the installation space in different applications.
