Housing for industrial connectors

Connector housing

HEAVYCON connector housings Compatible insertion – flexible combination

Create the right connection every time using the connector housings from our three series and the matching contact inserts. All housing series fit on standard panel cutouts. STANDARD housings and EVO housings made of plastic require a panel-mount base, while ADVANCE housings are mounted directly on the panel. All housings in the STANDARD and EVO series can be freely combined and are compatible with aluminum housings from well-known manufacturers. This means that all components can be flexibly combined, changed, or replaced.

The M1 single-module housings made of plastic accommodate a modular contact insert and a PE module. As a result, they enable an extremely compact interface.

Industrial connectors with screw locking mechanism

HEAVYCON ADVANCE – connector housings for extreme loads Maximum protection for interfaces – uncompromisingly robust

HEAVYCON ADVANCE heavy-duty connectors with screw locking mechanism are ideally suited for particularly aggressive surroundings, for example, in offshore areas, or the chemical or railway industry. Sensitive interfaces are reliably protected, even against electromagnetic interference. For the panel feed-through, the panel-mount base that is normally used has been replaced by two simple panel-mount flanges, thereby reducing mounting and material costs. With this method, the sleeve housing forms a seal directly on the control cabinet panel.
