Inserts

A heavy-duty connector consists of a connector insert and its protective enclosure. The insert is therefore the heart of the heavy-duty connector. It is responsible for electrical functioning.

Connector inserts from Weidmüller are made from high-quality insulation materials, which allow secure transmission of high voltages in a tight space. Moreover, we use only a single type of plastic in our entire product line. This plastic is UL listed, and suitable for railway applications. This allows an unlimited world-wide use of the RockStar® connector.

Modular Inserts

Universal and flexible - the solution for many applications.

ConCept is a modular system consisting of modules and frames.  Together they form a complete insert that integrates without difficulty into an HDC housing.

The system allows you to choose combinations of different modules yourself and insert them in a frame.

Housings

A heavy-duty connector consists of a connector insert and its protective enclosure. All of Weidmüller's RockStar® enclosures are made of high-quality die-cast aluminium. Thus they are impact- and corrosion-resistant, yet still compact and lightweight. Their patented stainless steel clips make them totally water- and dust-proof. They can be used under the harshest environmental conditions and are resistant to frost and vibrations.

IP65 Housings

Weidmüller has further developed its IP65 housing. The result is an industrial housing of a new design that also has the properties corrosion resistance and long service life. These new HDC industrial housings even surpass our previous stainless steel housings in all respects. All operation elements are made of stainless steel. A high-quality, multistage surface sealing provides safety for years. Good isn’t good enough for us. That’s why Weidmuller discontinued the stainless series and why you should use our new IP65 housing.
