HARTING UK extend distribution agreement with APC Technology Group

In addition to HARTING’s industrial connectors, which include the Han-Modular® series, APC will now be able to supply customers with HARTING’s board level electronics products – including Ethernet and miniaturisation technologies.

APC Technology Group have been a distributor for HARTING since 2019, when they acquired Co-Tron Components, a specialist in cable and connector technologies. In turn, Co-Tron has a long heritage of working with HARTING, with over 35 years of knowledge in many industrial areas including automotive, rail, robotics and automation and most recently, industrial Ethernet applications.

Flexible and modular designs

HARTING’s board level components include traditional solutions such as RJ45, DIN41612 and D-Sub connectors, alongside newer innovations such as the T1 Industrial Single Pair Ethernet, and ix Industrial Ethernet connectors. Many of HARTING’s latest innovations open up many opportunities for electronics engineers, particularly those with a requirement for space saving or modularity and flexibility within their project designs.

Award winning Har-Modular® Range

One such series of products aiming to help product designers overcome the obstacle of using a limited selection of standard components when prototyping new devices, is HARTING’s award winning har-modular® range. Speeding up development time by offering flexibility, the har-modular® range consists of plug-in connectors that can be configured to individual customer requirements.

Regardless of how innovative and creative the arrangement within a device design is, it is no longer dependent on whether a suitable standard strip or variant is available. The developer can adapt the connector to their requirements - not vice versa. And with quantities available from single connectors to many, product developers now have new perspectives for fast and cost-effective prototype development.

Meeting the demands of miniaturisation

The requirement for smaller, more powerful and more robust connectors is also echoed in HARTING’s har-flex® PCB connector range. The miniaturised design and high variability of har-flex® PCB connectors provide device manufacturers with a freely scalable connection technology that enables them to meet the demands of miniaturisation. Signal, Data and Power are all catered for with a wide range of connection solutions for printed circuit boards, featuring diverse designs and pole counts.

“I’m really excited to offer HARTING’s board level connectors to our customers in the UK and Ireland. The extension opens up lots of exciting opportunities and means we can continue to support customers with their prototyping and product development cycles. With an existing range of technologies and solutions for the robotics, automation, and industrial sector, HARTING’s electronic product offering means we can support more OEMs and CEMs in the UK with building the next generation of devices – all backed by our own team’s expertise and technical insight."

Mark Broadhead | APC Sales Director

HARTING Ltd has been operating in the UK for over 40 years. Their success is based upon unparalleled service, quality manufacturing and their innovative product range. With vast experience in the fields of electrical, electronic and optical connection, transmission and networking, HARTING provide simple yet reliable solutions, especially as markets and industries evolve quickly.

“Continuing to work with Co-Tron and APC Technology Group on a broader product scale is an exciting opportunity. Their customer service and strong product knowledge on existing ranges is excellent and we at HARTING know that this expansion to our electronic franchise network will offer the UK market, and APC’s customers, even more HARTING product knowledge and localised stock.”
