Frequently Asked Questions

Are Hirschmann connectors and Belden connectors the same?

The Belden cabling company in the US acquired the German company Hirschmann in 2007, making Belden its parent company. It chose to retain the Hirschmann brand, allowing it to continue to supply signal transmission equipment and Ethernet solutions, including its range of rectangular and circular connectors, from Hirschmann distributors like Northern Connectors.

Belden also acquired Lumberg Automation in 2007, and continues to sell its metric connectors and distribution boxes as its parent company, so Hirschmann connectors are not the only high-performance connector brand under Belden.

At Northern Connectors, we have been authorised distributors in the UK for both Hirschmann and Lumberg Automation products since 2000, so we are ideally placed to assist you with acquisition should you need it.

Why choose Hirschmann industrial connectors?

Choosing the right high-quality connectors depends on your application. You’ll need to consider:

Electrical requirements, including voltage and current
Number of contacts/pins
Environmental conditions, such as required IP ratings, temperature ranges, and vibration exposure
Mounting type, including panel, cable, or PCB

Once you have identified these essential considerations, the experienced team at Northern Connectors would be glad to assist you if you are unsure. Contact us with what you need and know, and we’ll do the rest.

Does Hirschmann manufacture rectangular connectors?

Yes, Hirschmann’s range includes both circular connectors and rectangular connectors.

Circular models are typically preferred for more compact spaces, but rectangular models are often the go-to option for robust connections thanks to their sturdy design.

At Northern Connectors, we supply both circular and rectangular Hirschmann connectors, including the following models:

Circular connectors:

CM Series
CA Series
NR Series
M-12 A-Coded (E-Series)

Rectangular connectors:

ST Series.
Valve connectors

These come with a variety of contact termination types and wire gauge allowances, whether male or female, but all are also available with moulded cables.Providing signal transmission solutions to protect industrial Ethernet networks or any other application with high service demands is what Hirschmann does best, so you should be able to source what you need from their unparalleled set of cable management products.
