The high-current connector has been improved as part of a tram project in Vienna. Working in close cooperation with the customer, HARTING was able to optimally fit the connector into the narrow gap of roughly 8 cm between the carriage body and bogie. Other housing dimensions were optimised as well, with the result that the space requirement was slashed by some 40 % compared to conventional solutions.
Manufacturers of rail vehicles are faced with increasingly less space to house a rising number of electrical components. An ultra-slim solution such as the Han® 22 HPR slim, with its significantly reduced dimensions, meets this need for solutions coping with limited space.
