The PushPull is the all-rounder among connectors. As flexible as a Swiss army knife, the PushPull has a solution at the ready for every customer requirement. Power? Signals? Data? The PushPull family supplies all three lifelines of the industry of tomorrow. And because we also live our products, we leverage the strengths of the PushPull on our own trade fair stands.
Things often get hectic when building exhibition structures. Lots of work and too little time. Time is usually of the essence, and the atmosphere can get gruff now and then. Plugs and cables are plugged in and pulled out one after another, thrown into shipping boxes, or sometimes simply fall on the ground. Here, users need to be able to rely on their equipment. The last thing anyone wants is for wiring failures to crop up, or the need to constantly obtain replacements. In a word, these are demands comparable to those found in industrial environments. This is precisely why HARTING uses representatives of the large PushPull family on its own trade fair stands. Modern LED display walls such as those on the HARTING stand consist of numerous individual modules which have to be assembled on site. Each module has four connections for power and data. Following assembly, the modules are wired in series via these connections. Since this also needs to be done quickly, we offer support to our stand builders by providing our PushPull in RJ45 and three-pole power versions. These connectors can be quickly plugged in and removed, and lock with an audible click, which saves an enormous amount of time.

These two mating faces represent only a small excerpt of the broad variety PushPull offers. The power variants from threepole to five-pole cover a range of 24V to 690V at 12A-16A. That’s enough power even for power-hungry applications. In the signals area, the PushPull excels in three versions. With 10 and 20 poles, as well as a hybrid power/signal variation, they’re ideally suited for use e.g. in industrial BUS systems. The product lineup is rounded out by the third lifeline of data. Here, HARTING is offering a uniform and therefore modular housing in alternatives which feature a USB mating face, the previously mentioned RJ45, and Fibre Optic contacts. The latter enable transmission rates of up to 10 Gbit/s and are mainly deployed in applications that require long distance transmission.

In keeping with the versatility of the mating faces, for the housing material customers have the choice between plastic or metal. While plastic housings are selected for corrosive environments, metal housings have established themselves on welding robots used in industrial manufacturing. The housing protects against welding beads and is an appropriate choice in EMC hazard areas. The housings all have one thing in common: they can be easily inserted and removed, are robust, waterproof to IP65/67 and always have the same mounting height for printed circuit terminals. This uniformity in the housings not only offers technical advantages. More and more manufacturers are also placing emphasis on design and are attempting to install terminals which are as small and uniform as possible.
HARTING leverages the variety offered by the PushPull family to keep pace with the trend of modularisation and miniaturisation, which in turn enables the product portfolio to meet virtually each and every customer requirement.
