HARTING has been established in the UK for 40 years and is a leading supplier of electrical, electronic and optical connectivity technology for the transmission of data, signals and power.

Alongside their market-leading products, they’ve recently added new rail-approved solutions including high-current interfaces for the exterior of rail vehicles.

The Han® High Pressure Railway (HPR) VarioShell is a flexible housing for inter-car connections which simplifies assembly and allows quick access for maintenance and repair. For cable-based power supply in the underfloor area, the Han® HPR TrainPowerLine reduces weight and saves time thanks to pre-assembly. In addition, the High-Performance Transformer Connector is a durable, pluggable solution with housings designed according to the HPR standard.

To employ the European Train Control System (ETCS), older rolling stock will need upgrading and retrofitting with cabling, wiring and connectors. HARTING have a wide range of rail-approved products and solutions to support this challenge, including the M12 PushPull which allows easy installation in restricted spaces.

HARTING can also produce project-specific jumper cable assemblies which are factory built and 100% electrically tested onsite. Their manufacturing facility holds ISO 9001 certification for Quality Management, the ISO 14001 Environmental Standard and UL certification for Wiring Harnesses ZPFW2 / ZPFW8.
