What Are Heavy Duty Connector Accessories?

Heavy Duty Connector Accessories are a range of components designed to add extra functionality and protection to heavy-duty connector systems. These accessories enhance the connectors' ability to be installed, secured, sealed, and managed in terms of cable handling. For instance, the HEAVYCON series from Phoenix Contact includes contact inserts, multi-gland cable glands, adapter sleeves, and more, which are shock and vibration-resistant in accordance with DIN EN 61373. Additionally, there are multi-gland cable glands for HEAVYCON EVO heavy-duty connectors that offer maximum flexibility and tool-free mounting, saving time and providing a high degree of adaptability.

What Are Heavy Duty Connector Contacts Used For?

Heavy duty connector contacts are used to transfer voltage and current to power equipment. They are a part of heavy-duty electrical connectors, which are designed to transmit power, data, and signals in challenging conditions.

Heavy duty connectors are used in a variety of applications, including:

• Industrial connectivityHeavy duty connectors are used to transmit electrical power, sensor signals, and control data in industrial settings.
• Off-highway vehiclesHeavy duty connectors are used in off-highway vehicles to handle high currents and loads, and withstand vibrations, temperature extremes, and exposure to dirt, dust, and moisture.
• Robotics, automation, machinery, rail, and power applicationsHeavy duty connectors are used in these applications to transmit power, data, and signals.
• Heavy duty connectors can be made of solid aluminum or thermoplastic, and have protection degrees ranging from IP65 to IP69k. They can also have features such as enhanced ingress protection, reduced flammability, wide operating temperature, interlocks, and earth shielding.
