NORTHAMPTON, UK – Harting’s new Han-Fast Lock PCB termination system provides simple solder-free push-fit single-wire connection to printed-circuit boards, greatly enhancing the ease and flexibility of power distribution for entertainment equipment such as lighting dimmers, power supplies and winch/hoist motor controllers.

Users benefit in several ways. Power-line terminations can be taken from any point on the printed-circuit board without the need for tracks to be extended to one specific connection area. This reduces cost because of the simplified design and savings in real estate. This approach also eliminates the possibility of concentrated hot spots to allow higher currents to be handled.
The easy push/click Han-Fast Lock PCB termination fits securely in the standard plated-through hole with pad and can handle up to 60 A for discrete wire stranded conductors from 4 to 10 mm2. Undamaged contacts can be extracted and re-fitted up to 10 times, simplifying equipment maintenance. In addition, during the production assembly process the connection for the external power wiring can be done after the soldering of the sensitive electronic components.
