Heavy Duty Connectors (HDC) are industrial connectors designed to transmit power, data and signal in the toughest of conditions. In environments with vibrations, risk of dust, temperature challenges and mechanical impact, our HDC connectors provide a reliable solution with solid aluminum or thermoplastic hoods and housings with protection degree from IP65 up to IP69k. Approved according to EN/IEC 61984 standard, our HDC connectors range from 10A to 650A, and are available with up to 288 contacts.
We offer a vast portfolio of heavy duty rectangular power connectors as well as signal connectors to suit many application needs. In the indoor applications, try the lightweight and safe thermoplastic enclosures, saving space and installation effort. High performance inserts provide standard and high density contact configurations, with electrical performance ranging from 2.2A @ 32V up to 650A at 12kV. Reliable lose-piece screw machined contacts and cost efficient stamped & formed contacts on the reel are available for crimp, screw and cage clamp termination and offered in gold, silver, tin and palladium plated options. Space saving hybrid connectors make power, signal and data transmission possible in a single connection, and HMN modular system will make interface customization as easy as the use of building blocks can be.
TE has been producing Heavy Duty Connectors (HDC) for over 60 years. The portfolio includes one of the best in quality and sustainability, helping you to reduce go-to-market time.
