HARTING Han MPC 30/60: Lightweight and High-Performance Connectors for Mobile Applications

[Semih Asil]

The Han Miniature Power Connector (MPC) is a connector series developed by HARTING that combines low weight with high current carrying capacity.

### Features of Han MPC

• The Han MPC30 version supports 30 A/120 VDC, while the Han MPC60 supports 60 A/120 VDC.
• It is specifically designed for drones, ground vehicles, mobile, and humanoid robots.
• Both variants feature four gold-plated high-speed contacts, enabling data transmission via the DroneCAN protocol.
• It provides the critical connection between the battery and the electronic speed controller (ESC), supporting the smooth operation of electric motors.
• The MPC30 model can handle high pulse currents up to 180 A for 10 seconds, and the MPC60 model up to 350 A for approximately 10 seconds.
• For power transmission, Han-Yellock 4 mm² crimp contacts are used in the MPC30, and Han C 10 mm² crimp contacts in the MPC60.
• Gold and silver platings establish gas-tight connections, ensuring high electrical reliability and stable performance even in harsh environmental conditions.

### Durability and Usage

• It is resistant to shock and vibration category 1B, in accordance with IEC 61373.
• It has an IP40 protection rating and is suitable for internal wiring.
• The passive locking mechanism provides a quick and secure connection, confirmed by an audible "click."
• It features a grip area designed for use with gloves and additional cable retouching support.

### Benefits

• Reliable connection solutions from the European market leader in industrial connectors
• High reliability thanks to gold and silver-plated crimp contacts
• High current carrying capacity in a miniature space (30A and 60A options)
• Signal integrity with a maximum of 4 DroneCAN-compatible pins
• Detailed technical documentation and specifications
