HARTING M12 Push-Pull: Fast locking systems save valuable installation time in automation

Installation time is a significant cost factor in installation. Quick locks based on the push-pull principle save up to 90% here compared to traditional screw locks for round M12 connectors. The new standard IEC 61076-2-010 now provides for the first time an internationally uniform definition for the locking mechanism for M12 connectors for vertical and recessed appliance sockets. It is also possible to connect flying cable couplings.

The time factor is crucial when setting up automation applications. Deadlines must be met and costs must not spiral out of control. To quickly support installers, automation engineers must use devices equipped with reliable quick-release mechanisms for connecting data, signals and power. HARTING offers connectors with push-pull locking for this time-saving alternative. Interfaces can be connected and disconnected quickly and reliably by simply pushing or pulling the housing. Unlike bolted solutions, no tightening torques need to be checked and no tools need to be used. Whether a traditional RJ45, USB or circular connector – push-pull quick release connectors save installers valuable time when installing their application.
