From our triad of Installation Technology, Device Connectivity and Smart Network Infrastructure, HARTING provides suitable products for power, signal and data transmission. Our industrial connectors, Ethernet switches and charging plugs and sockets are numerously deployed in applications of energy production, in distribution networks and the charging interface for electric vehicles.


HARTING | Much more than just connectors.

"Using state-of-the-art technology combined with our customised and environmentally friendly strategies and solutions, we will work together with the auto industry to meet the challenges of tomorrow's mobile traffic," explains Marco Grinblats, Managing Director of HARTING Automotive.

Automotive industry

In automobiles, HARTING Automotive is represented in a wide variety of applications with its solenoid systems: steering systems, circuits or locking and safety technology are just a few of the many elements that must function safely and reliably in vehicles. So it is with good reason that companies from the automotive and supplier industries rely on quality products from HARTING Automotive.

We offer tailor-made cable assemblies, such as complete cable harnesses, for our customised solutions.

Crash active headrest

Reversible electromagnets with trigger function are used for shock protection. When used in anti-collision head restraints, they help improve occupant safety and reduce the risk of injury.

Touchpad

Modern touchpads for automotive consoles have tactile feedback for improved usability and ease of use. Our magnets are also responsible for this function.

Steering wheel adjustments

Some steering wheels can be adjusted in their height and length to ensure a comfortable sitting position. Our magnets help the driver to position the steering wheel as needed and secure it in this position.

Automatic seat adjustments

Two people using the same car can immediately find the ideal seating position for each of them: thanks to our magnets, the seat is always locked in a saved position.

Gear selection lock

For automatic gearshifts, our magnets contribute to improved safety by enabling a gear selection lock function. This prevents incorrect operations.

Glove box lock

Thanks to their reliable locking of the glove compartment, our magnets ensure safety and protect against unpleasant surprises.

Ignition key withdrawal lock

In the ignition switch, our magnets improve safety by preventing incorrect operations. They prevent the unintentional removal of the vehicle key from the ignition switch while driving.

Parking lock

Step on the brake and then release the parking lock: For automatic gearshifts, our magnets prevent operating errors. This ensures improved safety and outstanding ease of use.

Damper systems for engine mounts

In switchable engine mounts, our electromagnets result in more driving comfort as well as improved vibration and noise characteristics.

E-charging cable lock

We offer tailor-made cable assemblies, such as complete cable harnesses, for our customised solutions.

Automotive products : Overview

3D-MID solutions in automobiles

Assistance systems, safety features or infotainment – more and more electronics are finding their way on board today’s cars. You can fit complex electronics into your car even where space is at a premium.

Light sensor for controlling air conditioning systems

Modern air conditioning systems control the interior temperature depending on various influences for example the exposure to sunlight.
To increase measurement accuracy, HARTING has developed a space saving base carrier that enables precise 3D arrangements of the optical sensors.

 

Case study – Sun sensor for climate control

Position sensor for adaptive cruise control

The Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC) automatically regulates the safety distance to the vehicle in front via a sensor in the front area. It was possible to reduce the size of the ACC and at the same time achieve greater precision.
 

Case study – Position sensor for adaptive speed control

Lighting module for vehicle interior

Modern lighting systems integrate classic interior lighting and reading light in one module.
With the MID component from HARTING, it was possible to develop a lighting module with a compatible interface that enables a cost reduction of 35 % compared to the previous solution with a significantly lower installation height and reduced number of parts.
