The HARTING ix Industrial® Series is a robust, miniature Ethernet interface that sets a new standard for IP20 Ethernet connections and has potential to replace the conventional RJ45 connection. Socket sizes have been reduced by 70% compared to the RJ45, enabling manufacturers to use the ix in much smaller devices. Moreover, the ix combines data transmission and power supply into a single interface, further reducing the area required for connectors. The ix connectors are securely locked together by two metal snap-in hooks, ensuring an absolutely secure and vibration-proof connection from the cable to the circuit board for a minimum of 5000 mating cycles. The ix connectors can be used on both ends or mixed, for example, with the ix and the RJ45 connector on opposite ends. This enables a gradual adaptation of individual elements in the control level without the need to directly use totally new components.
