Heavy Duty Connector - Female Insert

I’m attempting to identify the correct female insert that mates with the connector on an older spindle. Unfortunately, I do not have manufacturer documentation for the spindle or the connector series.

Based on physical inspection, measurements, and visual comparison, the connector appears to be a Han-style rectangular connector, and the housing dimensions align with a Han 4A size. The connector on the spindle uses a 6-pin male insert with fixed pin geometry and keying.

Based on that, I ordered a Han 4A Push-In female insert (Harting P/N 09 20 004 5101 https://b2b.harting.com/files/download/PRD/PDF_DS/PDF_DS_09200045101_EN.pdf ) as a close apparent match. The insert fits properly into the Han 4A housing, however it does not mate with the existing male insert on the spindle. The pin alignment and/or keying is incompatible.

This leads me to believe that while the housing size is correct, the insert series, contact style (Push-In vs crimp/screw), pin geometry, or keying variant does not match the original connector. The connector may also be from an older or discontinued Harting series, or from a different manufacturer that uses a Han-compatible housing but a non-standard insert.

Relevant details observed so far:

  • Housing size appears consistent with Han 4A

  • 6-pin male insert on the spindle

  • Markings observed include partial text ending in “4kV”

  • Pins are arranged differently than the ordered insert

  • Ordered insert seats in the housing but will not mate mechanically

Photos of the male connector on the spindle and the housing are included below.

I’m specifically looking for:

  • The correct female insert part number that mates with this male insert, or

  • Identification of the original connector series/manufacturer, including any obsolete or cross-reference equivalents

Any technical guidance or identification help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you remove the connector from the metal backshell? The part number for the connector is usually printed on the side.
