HEAVYCON ADVANCE housings with screw locking mechanism

When it comes to cabling in industrial environments, every centimeter counts. In addition, the connection is often exposed to aggressive environmental conditions. We have the solution for these extreme conditions: HEAVYCON ADVANCE industrial connectors. ADVANCE housings are particularly durable and robust due to their direct screw locking mechanism without panel-mount base. These heavy-duty connectors are suitable for very aggressive environments, e.g., offshore, in the chemical industry, or in the rail industry.

  • Save space and money: use panel-mount flanges instead of a base housing
  • For the harshest requirements: housings satisfy IP66/IP67 degree of protection (plastic) and IP66/IP68/IP69K degree of protection (metal)

HEAVYCON ADVANCE eliminates the need for the panel-mount base that is normally used on the device side. The housings are therefore particularly durable, robust, and space-saving.

HEAVYCON ADVANCE savings potential

Without the need for the normal panel mounting base, you save on mounting and material costs. The low designs of the metal and molded cable glands of the plastic housings offer further savings potential.

HEAVYCON ADVANCE screw locking mechanism

Mount the ADVANCE sleeve housing with two panel mounting flanges and robust stainless steel locking screws directly onto the wall. This achieves a high degree of tightness and makes it more difficult for unauthorized persons to gain access.
