HARTING Han-Modular Individual Module Sourcing: Frames, Inserts and Hoods Shipped as Separate MPNs to Russia and the CIS

HARTING Han-Modular Individual Module Sourcing: Frames, Inserts and Hoods Shipped as Separate MPNs to Russia and the CIS

HARTING Han-Modular is sourced as a kit of separate MPNs, not as one part: the frame, each module that drops into a cavity (power up to 200 A, signal 16 A, Cat 6A data, fibre, pneumatic, coax), the crimp contacts sized to the wire gauge, and the hood or housing are four distinct line items, each with its own price, MOQ and lead time. icsourcedirect.com, an independent connector and interconnect distributor sourcing from Shenzhen, quotes every line separately against the local channel and consolidates them into one shipment to Russia or the CIS on the weekly consolidated air lane, customs included under DDP terms where the quotation states it. The desk does not claim HARTING authorisation and does not pass through a HARTING manufacturer warranty; it offers per-line sourcing, per-line inspection and one freight bill for the kit.

Why "one Han-Modular kit" is rarely one part number on a PO

A Russian or CIS system integrator building a control cabinet, a welding-cell harness, a robotic cell, a wind-pitch station, or a machine-tool retrofit typically writes a single line on the BOM that says something like "Han-Modular 6B frame, mixed inserts, hood top entry, M25". The line then decomposes into a frame (Han 6B, 10B, 16B or 24B), a chosen set of inserts (one module per cavity — power up to 200 A, signal at 16 A, data for Cat 6A or fibre, pneumatic, coaxial, and so on), a hood (top or side entry, M20 / M25 / M32 / M40 cable gland), and often a surface-mount or panel-mount base. Every one of those is a separate MPN, and every one carries its own price tier, its own MOQ and its own lead time in the channel. Treating the kit as one item is the single most common reason a panel build stalls: a buyer finds the frame, gets stuck on one missing insert, and only then realises the hood is on a 16-week allocation too.

What a Han-Modular BOM line actually requires to be kitted

A kit that the line will accept at goods-in looks like this in practice:

• Frame (Han 6B / 10B / 16B / 24B) — sized to the number of cavities needed. 6B holds up to two double modules; 24B holds up to twelve. The frame choice is fixed by the cabinet cut-out and the mating side.
• Modules (one per cavity) — the working parts of the system. The same frame can carry, for example, one 200 A power module plus one Cat 6A data module plus one 16 A signal module plus one pneumatic module, in any combination that fits the cavity map.
• Crimp contacts — separate from the modules. A power module needs its own pin or socket contacts sized to the wire gauge; a signal module takes its own 0.14–2.5 mm² contacts. The contacts are often where the kit comes apart, because they are the line most likely to be forgotten and the line most likely to be undersupplied.
• Hood (top or side entry) with the correct cable-gland thread. M25 is common; M32 and M40 are used where the cable is large.
• Housing / base if panel- or surface-mount. Bulkhead mounting needs the bulkhead cut-out dimensions to match the frame.

For the buying office this means a "single Han-Modular kit" is at minimum four lines on the order, and realistically six to ten when contacts and a base are included. Each of those is sourced separately against its own MPN, and each carries its own condition in the Shenzhen channel.

What the desk actually does when a Han-Modular kit lands on the desk

The procurement workflow is the same as for any mixed-brand BOM, applied to Han-Modular lines specifically:

1. Receive the line list. The buyer sends the BOM by email, the inquiry form on /inquiry, or the /baojia quotation tool, with the frame size, the modules needed per cavity, the contact type, the hood thread and the required quantity per line. A photo of the label or the previous order is acceptable as a starting point but is not a substitute for the MPN.
2. Match each line in the local channel. Each module, contact, frame and hood is matched against the Shenzhen supply chain. Price, MOQ, packaging form (bulk, individual bag, kit) and lead time are returned per line. Where a line cannot be sourced, that is stated rather than substituted silently — the buyer decides whether to accept an alternate channel, a longer lead time or a documented cross-reference.
3. Quote per line, firm scope before spend. No line is procured until the buyer approves the quotation. The desk's own warranty, not a HARTING warranty passed through an authorised channel, is what backs the goods; that distinction is on the quote and on /about.
4. Inspect, label, consolidate. Every Han-Modular line is checked against the BOM before dispatch. Housings and contacts are inspected, packaging is verified, and the kit is consolidated into one shipment with one freight bill, regardless of how many modules came from which supplier.
5. Ship. Russia and the CIS are served by a weekly consolidated air lane to Moscow and regional hubs, with customs included on DDP terms where the quote states it. The desk screens end users and end uses, classifies before quoting, and declines transactions that cannot be screened; this is the standing policy for every shipment regardless of destination.

The buyer sees one consolidated box and one freight bill. What happens upstream — frame from one Shenzhen distributor, modules from another, contacts from a third — is the desk's problem to solve, not the buyer's.

The honest limits of an independent desk on HARTING lines

Three boundaries matter here, and they are stated on every quote rather than glossed over:

• No HARTING authorisation is claimed. The desk is an independent distributor and procurement agent, not an authorised distributor, and does not hold HARTING-issued franchise or authorised-channel letters. A HARTING manufacturer warranty is therefore not what backs the goods; the desk's own warranty, written on the quote, is. For buyers whose programme requires a HARTING-issued certificate of conformance or a HARTING-issued warranty, the answer is to source through a HARTING authorised channel — the desk does not pretend to be one.
• Cross-references are candidates, not guarantees. A buyer who needs a "Han-Modular equivalent" because a specific module is on allocation or out of stock in the channel is owed a careful comparison, not a confident substitution. The ten axes — form and fit outline, dimensions, pin-to-pin layout, electrical rating, mating force and cycles, environmental class, IP rating, operating temperature range, materials and plating, and certifications — are checked per line and any axis that cannot be confirmed from the manufacturer's datasheet is flagged as unverified or unknown rather than guessed. The buyer is the one who decides whether the differences are acceptable, and final fit-for-purpose validation is the buyer's engineering responsibility.
• Not every Han-Modular line has a safe cross. Some combinations of frame and module have no genuine third-party equivalent that matches on all ten axes, and the desk will say so on the quote. Substituting on appearance is not a service.

These limits are not weaknesses of the service. They are what the service is.

When a Han-Modular line should not be substituted

Three situations should stop a buyer from accepting any cross-reference without re-qualifying the assembly — in some of these, the desk's recommendation is to avoid substituting and keep the original MPN:

• The original is specified to a particular IP class when mated. A Han-Modular build that is sealed to IP65 or IP67 in the cabinet relies on the hood gasket, the frame-to-housing interface and the module-to-frame interface all being rated. A substitute module that does not publish the same mated IP rating should not be assumed to share it; appearance is not evidence. The desk states the manufacturer's rated class and never re-certifies it.
• The original carries a high mating-cycle rating on the signal side. Industrial machinery that the buyer re-energises for service (vibration test rigs, robotics that swap end effectors, machine-tool probe changers) can exceed 500 mating cycles on the signal side. A module that publishes only a generic 100-cycle figure is not recommended as a substitute for that application, even if the pitch and pin count look the same.
• The original carries a documented UL / IEC / EAC / TR CU status. EAC / TR CU is the buyer's own obligation to verify against the regulation that applies to the finished device; the desk provides the standard commercial documentation (commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin) but does not hold or issue EAC certificates and does not provide legal or certification advice. Where a substitute drops a certification the original carried, the desk will flag it; whether the drop is acceptable is a buyer-and-notary decision, not a sourcing decision.

Buyer prompts this service is built to answer

The reason this workflow exists as a service rather than a generic "contact us" page is that Russian and CIS buyers actually type specific questions into search, and the answers are line-shaped, not slogan-shaped:

• «HARTING Han-Modular — модульная система, купить модули по отдельности» — a system integrator looking for one cavity's worth of a power module, not a full frame kit.
• «Аналог разъёма HARTING Han с тем же габаритом» — a maintenance engineer holding an old BOM in one hand and a stopped machine in the other, looking for a Han-equivalent with the same footprint.
• «BOM разъёмов на 40 позиций разных брендов — один поставщик» — a small-batch assembler who needs the frame and the modules and the contacts in one shipment, not three separate purchase orders.
• «Клеммные колодки на DIN-рейку и разъёмы для шкафа автоматики — один заказ» — a panel builder combining a Han-Modular kit with Phoenix Contact or WAGO terminal blocks on the same shipment.

The desk is set up to handle each of those as one order with one invoice, with the Han lines quoted and consolidated alongside the terminal blocks, the power modules, the data inserts and the contacts.

A worked example of a four-line Han-Modular kit

A buyer in Tver is building a robotic-cell harness and sends the following:

That is a four-line kit. The desk returns one quote with four lines, each with its own price, MOQ, packaging and lead time. If line 3 is on a longer lead time because the channel is constrained, that is stated on the quote rather than held until the goods are due. The buyer can choose to accept the longer lead time on line 3 and ship lines 1, 2 and 4 first, or to substitute a documented equivalent on line 3 — but the choice is theirs and it is informed. Once approved, the four lines are inspected, consolidated into one box, and shipped under DDP to Tver with customs included on the lane that runs weekly to Moscow and onward by road.

This is the same workflow whether the kit is one frame or twenty, whether the modules are power-only or a mixed signal / data / fibre combination, and whether the hood is M25 or M40. The line count grows; the process does not.

What the buyer needs to send to get an accurate Han-Modular quote

For each Han-Modular line, the desk works faster and quotes more accurately when the buyer provides:

• Manufacturer and MPN. "HARTING 09 14 005 0301" is more useful than "Han-Modular signal module, 5 poles". A photo of the module is a useful cross-check but is not a substitute for the MPN.
• Quantity per line, with the understanding that full-reel / full-package minimums are avoided by consolidation but that some modules are only available in full packages at the supplier end. Where that is the case, it is stated on the quote rather than hidden.
• Acceptance criteria. If the buyer needs photographs of the goods before dispatch, lot/date-code information, or a specific packaging form (bulk, individual bag, kitted), that must be raised before sourcing, because whether the channel can document it is part of the answer.
• The substitution intent. If a line is meant as a substitute for a hard-to-find original MPN, the original MPN and the application context are useful, because the comparison is done against the application, not against the catalogue entry. Subject to your own engineering validation before volume commitment.

A first response is targeted within one business day during local business hours. A full multi-line Han-Modular kit, or any line that needs an allocation check, takes longer — and that is stated on email rather than left silent.

What is not part of this service

To keep the boundary clean:

• No original-equipment HARTING warranty is offered. The desk's own warranty is what is on the quote.
• No HARTING-issued certificate of conformance is supplied as a default. Whether a manufacturer-issued CoC, PPAP or test report exists depends on the specific manufacturer, part and channel. It is asked for per line and answered honestly; where the channel cannot document it, the line is declined rather than supplied with a guess.
• No EAC / TR CU certificate is held or issued. Connectors are typically supplied as components; conformity of a finished device placed on the Russian market rests with the device manufacturer, and the desk does not provide legal or certification advice.
• No drop-in-style claims. Cross-references are written as candidates against the ten-axis framework, with the unverified axes flagged openly and a verify-against-the-manufacturer-datasheet line at the end of every comparison.
• No "in stock" count is published. Stock on a specific Han-Modular MPN is confirmed per line on the quote; the catalogue itself does not pretend to know the channel state in real time.

Where to take it from here

For a buyer in Russia or the CIS with a Han-Modular kit to assemble, the next step is to send us your BOM via /inquiry or drop the line list into the /baojia quotation tool, with frame, modules, contacts and hoods broken out as separate lines. The desk returns one quote per line and ships the kit as one consolidated box on the weekly Russia/CIS lane, under DDP where the quote states it, customs included, screened end-use, declined where it cannot be screened. Frames, modules and hoods are not interchangeable with the next manufacturer's housing, and the desk treats that distinction as a feature of the service rather than a footnote.

For buyers who want to understand the cross-reference framework the desk uses on Han lines, the /compare page walks through the ten-axis methodology with worked examples on adjacent families. For buyers who want the policy facts (DDP definition, screening statement, payment routes, warranty wording), /shipping-returns, /about, /quality and /terms-of-sale carry the source wording the desk quotes from.

Han-Modular is one of the cleaner cases of a multi-line kit benefiting from a multi-brand procurement desk: every line is matched, every module is its own decision, and the consolidation does the work that a single-source authorised channel cannot do at small quantities.

Data Notes

• Source of catalogue facts: HARTING product family as carried on the manufacturer page for HARTING on icsourcedirect.com and matched through the Shenzhen supply chain per MPN on request.
• Source of workflow facts: published pages on icsourcedirect.com at /procurement, /shipping-returns, /about, /quality and /terms-of-sale as of 2026-09-20; wording on this page mirrors those pages and is not a new claim.
• No HARTING-issued certificate of conformance, manufacturer warranty, EAC / TR CU certificate or authorised-channel letter is offered or implied. EAC / TR CU compliance of a finished device placed on the Russian market is the buyer's own obligation under the regulation that applies to the device; the desk does not provide legal or certification advice.
• Buyer action: send us your BOM via /inquiry or drop the line list into the /baojia quotation tool with frame, modules, contacts and hoods as separate lines. Per-line price, MOQ and lead time are returned on the quotation; nothing is procured until the buyer approves.

FAQ

What is the difference between a Han-Modular kit and a standard Han B / Han E kit?

A standard Han B or Han E kit uses one fixed insert that combines power and signal in a single block. A Han-Modular kit uses a frame with separate cavities that accept individual modules — power, signal, data, fibre, pneumatic, coax — in any combination the application needs. The two systems are not interchangeable because the frames, the inserts and the hoods are physically different families; a Han B insert does not fit a Han-Modular frame.

Can I order individual Han-Modular modules without buying the full frame?

Yes. Individual modules — a single power module, a single signal module, a single data or fibre module — are sourced as separate lines on the same order, with the frame, contacts and hood quoted alongside. Per-line MOQ and lead time are confirmed on the quote, and the kit is consolidated into one shipment rather than three.

Are HARTING Han-Modular frames interchangeable with Han B or Han E frames?

No. Han-Modular frames and standard Han B / Han E frames are different families with different cavity patterns, different locking geometry and different hood interfaces. A module that fits a Han-Modular 10B frame does not fit a standard Han 10B housing. The two product lines are sourced as separate MPNs and should not be assumed interchangeable on pitch or pin count.

Do you hold HARTING authorisation or original manufacturer warranty?

No. icsourcedirect.com is an independent connector distributor and procurement agent, not an authorised HARTING distributor, and does not claim a HARTING-issued franchise. The warranty on a Han-Modular line is the desk's own, as written on the quotation, not a HARTING manufacturer warranty. Buyers who require a HARTING-issued warranty are served by an authorised HARTING channel; the desk does not pretend to be one.

What is the minimum order quantity for Han-Modular inserts?

There is no single catalogue-wide minimum. The real minimum is set by the supplier of each specific module and is confirmed per line on the quote. Small, mixed orders are routine, and consolidating all lines into one shipment avoids full-reel and full-package minimums. Where a specific module is only available in a full-package form, that is stated on the quote rather than imposed silently.

How do you verify that HARTING-branded parts are genuine?

Each lot is authenticity-screened. Markings and packaging are checked against the manufacturer datasheet, and housings and contacts are physically inspected. Each line is cross-checked before dispatch, and photographs of the actual goods can be provided on request. Where a line's supply channel cannot be documented to the desk's satisfaction, that line is declined rather than shipped with a guess.

How are mixed-module Han-Modular kits shipped to Russia?

Russia and the CIS are served by a dedicated weekly consolidated air lane to Moscow and regional hubs, with customs included under DDP terms where the quotation states it. Transit is typically 7–15 days door-to-door. The kit is consolidated into one box with one freight bill, regardless of how many lines came from how many upstream suppliers. The desk screens end users and end uses, classifies before quoting, and declines transactions that cannot be screened.
