Rectangular heavy duty connectors
21 January 2016
New from TE Connectivity (TE), is arange of rectangular Heavy Duty Connectors (HDC) suitable for a wide range of applications in harsh environments within machinery, robotics, railway, wind energy and conventional energy generation and distribution

The modular HDC products consist of three key elements: inserts, contacts and hoods and housings. The inserts and contacts are modular and assembled together to provide electrical performance offering crimp- screw- and spring-clamp termination technology. Beside the conventional machined contacts, an increasing portfolio of inserts supporting TE Connectivity’s Dynamic stamped and formed contacts – the high performance, modular power & signal connector system.
The hoods and housings are mainly made of die-casted aluminium or thermoplastic, robustly structured to provide mechanical and environmental protection for the connector. The waterproof anti-corrosion housing ensures that TE’s HDC products work under harsh environments and even meet outdoor connection needs.
