HARTING’s Next Gen SPE Connectors - Alltronix

1
HARTING has become a name that is driving the
development of connectors, sensors, PCB
terminals, and much more in the industries of
machinery, automation, transportation, telecom,
energy, and the like. It is also taking the new
Single Pair Ethernet or SPE technology ahead. In
fact, the brands SPE mating face has been
approved by the international standardization
committees in the multi-stage selection
processes of today. With this approval, Ralf
Klein, Managing Director of HARTING Electronics
showed gratitude by saying, Were pleased with
this decision. This also ensures planning
security for the developers of new devices or
sensor/actuator technology.
The SPE technology is a new technology that
requires only one pair of wires, instead of
four, to transfer data and power. Driven by the
automotive industry, this technology is gaining
increasing importance in the automation industry
too with advancing developments. The main reason
why this technology is gaining so much
preference and popularity is because of its
reduced weight, simplicity, lesser amount of
space required, and ease of installation. The
industrial sector, automation industry, and
railway industry are the main industries that are
seeing to be using this SPE technology to the
maximum. This SPE technology has made it
possible to implement digitization down to the
field level like end-to-end IP-based
communication and compatibility of devices,
cables,
2
and connectors. The end-to-end compatibility of
these components is a vital requirement for the
usage and successful marketing of the SPR
technology. This is ensured by international
standardization like the IEC and IEEE. There is
an internationally drafted selection process for
wiring and selection of standard SPE mating
faces by the IEC that involves the consultation
of more than 20 national expert committees. As
per this selection and standardization, the
mating surface for building wiring and mating
surface for industrial applications have
prevailed. The mating surface for building
wiring is according to IEC63171-1, and the mating
surface for industrial application is according
to IEC61076-3-125 (which is based on the HARTING
proposal). Based on this mating face, HARTING is
preparing a comprehensive portfolio for products
to be used in the industrial sector. This is why
HARTING has always been updating its connectors
to suit the demanding environments of
industries. Its SPE connector concepts were
initially presented in 2016 in Nuremberg. Other
than this, it also produces a large variety of
other connectors like circular connectors, data
connectors, electronic connectors, power
connectors, heavy duty connectors, and modular
rectangular connectors. In addition, it is also
well-known for its reliable encoders, current
sensors, high speed backplanes, and PCB
terminals. HARTING is a name that is known
across the globe. It has set up offices in
various countries in the past years, with the
setup in India being done in 2005. Headquartered
in Chennai, it has offices in various cities like
Pune, Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, and Hyderabad.
And, Alltronix is the leading HARTING distributor
in Chennai where you can get all of the products
from the brand mentioned above may it be
encoders, sensors, connectors, high speed
backplanes, or PCB terminals. For more
