Compatible insertion, flexible combination

The All-Electric Society vision of the future is a world with renewable and affordable electric energy. The path to achieving this leads through comprehensive electrification, networking, and automation. This increases the need for futureproof interfaces and cabling. Active and flexible production processes depend on local components – in other words, machines and plants need to be arranged and installed using functional assemblies. These assemblies are interconnected with reliable industrial plugin connectors that need to be flexible enough to accommodate future modifications and expansions. Industrial connectors from the HEAVYCON complete series protect your interfaces and ensure the reliable transmission of power, data, and signals even under the harshest conditions. The industrial connectors are resistant to dirt, water, vibrations, and high levels of mechanical strain. The heavy-duty connectors have a seal rating of up to IP69K. The next step in optimizing manufacturing involves enabling even more flexible installation and operation of machines and plants, as is called for by the industry 4.0 initiative. Heavy-duty plugin connectors for linking up data, signals, and power lines offer a confusing variety of modules and housings with an overwhelming number of configuration options

Heavycon Contact inserts

Push-in technology in Heavy-duty connectors, now firmly established on the market, is also used to connect the power signal. This means there is a module with plug-in connection technology available for the industrial plug connectors from the Heavycon Modular line as well. The individual wires are fitted with ferrules; the prepared wire is pushed into the contact chamber, and the contact is established. The connection is vibration-resistant, long-lasting, and can be used for applications up to 400 V and 16 A. There are also various power modules available for voltages of up to 5,000 V and currents of up to 300 A.

Contact inserts with Click-in latching

Consistent tool-free installation

HEAVYCON Push-in contact inserts with Clickin latching enable you to install and assemble heavy-duty connectors tool-free for the first time. You do not need a screwdriver for the conductor connection or for mounting in the housing. This is unique on the market and guarantees you incredibly easy handling and critical time savings

Solutions for special requirements

Blind plugging

HEAVYCON docking frames allow the time-saving installation and maintenance of plug-in systems. The floating sockets and the leading guide pin on the docking frame enable safe and blind contacting of plug connections in areas where the interfaces cannot be seen. The robust frame is assembled with modular contact inserts. You can create your customized interface by combining a wide range of transmission media in a single frame.

Tool-free and space-saving cabling

The deciding factor for the selection of the correct plug-in connector is its specific functions, with which the user should be intimately familiar. The spring and insulation displacement technologies, both of which are considered quick-connection technologies, save the installation technician a great deal of time. Push-Lock technology enables the tool-free connection of rigid and flexible conductors with and without ferrules and also ensures safe connection with precise conductor assignment with color coding and numerical coding in the connection area.
