Connector Harting Han E 16+PE contact insert with screw terminals, model 09 33 016 2601

Harting Han E 16+PE contact insert with screw terminals (09 33 016 2601) is a modular contact insert designed for use in rectangular industrial connectors. The insert combines multiple signal/power contacts with a dedicated protective earth (PE) contact and screw-type terminations, enabling durable, maintainable connections in control cabinets, machinery and industrial installations. It fits Han E housings and is intended for reliable transmission of signals and low-to-medium power circuits where secure mechanical and electrical contact is required.

Advantages

The contact insert provides screw terminal connections that allow straightforward field wiring and easy re-termination during maintenance. The integrated PE contact ensures a defined protective earth connection separate from signal contacts. The design supports stable electrical contact and mechanical retention within compatible Harting Han E housings, reducing the risk of loose connections under vibration or thermal cycling. The modular format makes replacement and configuration straightforward for service technicians.

Suitable for

• Control cabinets and switchgear wiring
• Industrial machinery and automation panels
• Signal and low-to-medium power distribution
• Field installations requiring maintainable connector interfaces

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: multi-contact insert with dedicated PE contact
• Termination type: screw terminals for each contact
• Mounting: designed for Han E rectangular connector housings
• Application class: signal and low-to-medium power circuits
• Mechanical features: modular insert for easy replacement and serviceability

How to use

Install the contact insert into a compatible Harting Han E housing following the connector housing manufacturer’s assembly instructions. Strip conductor insulation to the recommended length, insert conductors into the screw terminals and tighten screws to the specified torque to ensure reliable electrical and mechanical connection. Confirm the PE conductor is connected to the dedicated protective earth terminal. After wiring, secure the connector in the application and, if applicable, verify continuity and insulation resistance as part of commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriately sized conductors for the expected current and tighten screw terminals to the torque recommended by the connector manufacturer. Perform routine inspections and re-tightening during preventive maintenance in high-vibration or high-temperature environments. Replace the insert if contacts show signs of corrosion, overheating or mechanical damage.
