Harting introduces a new AEF high-voltage connector for electrified agricultural applications. This new connector describes a new high-voltage interface between tractors and tools and is the result of an internal standardization process at AEF (Agriculture Industry Electronics Foundation). AEF (Agriculture Industry Electronics Foundation) is a group of leading companies in the agricultural sector.

DMC2 50720P The new AEF high-voltage connector itself can be used for both AC and DC applications, as described in AEF guideline RIG 030 1.0, which has been converted to the international standard ISO 23316-2 in October 2023. Made primarily of aluminum and high-quality stainless steel, the connector is designed for use in very harsh and dusty environments.

In terms of the housing, it is a modular design, like a typical industrial Han connector. This means that customers can form a complete connector by ordering and adding individual components such as housing, pins and pins.

In terms of product realization, the Harting AEF high voltage connectors use a glue-covered plug, which has the advantage of complete industrial manufacturing and testing cable harnesses. Another advantage is the high level of protection on the cable side (IP 6K9K).
