Heavy duty connectors are essential for industrial systems requiring reliable electrical connections in harsh environments. Composed of hoods and housings, male/female inserts, and cable glands, these connectors offer waterproof, dustproof, and corrosion-resistant performance. Let’s explore each component and its role：
Hoods of connector heavy duty
Hoods protect connectors from physical damage and electromagnetic interference. They are usually connected with a male insert. They are made of high-strength aluminum alloy, designed with IP ratings (e.g., IP65/IP68), and are available in low-profile and high-profile versions. Key options include：
Cable entry: Side or top
Bolts: 2 or 4 bolts
Housing of heavy duty connector
The housing is the basic unit mounted on the device, providing structural support and environmental protection. Typically, female inserts are screwed to the housing. Features include：
Material: Powder-coated aluminum alloy for durability.
Mounting: Four holes for connection to equipment.
IP Rating: IP65 to IP69K for water, dust, and chemical resistance.
Locking Mechanism: Locking levers can be mounted on either Hoods or Housings, although they are more commonly mounted on Housings. Single or double locking (double locking is more secure).
Size Compatibility: Match housing to insert (e.g., H6B housing for HE-006-M and HE-006-F inserts). See our catalog for details.
Also available with or without protective cover on request.
Industrial male and female inserts
Male and female inserts are responsible for transmitting power and signals. Female inserts usually consist of a polycarbonate shell and a series of metal contacts that connect to the corresponding contacts in the male connector. The number of contacts varies from 1 to 216.
Contacts: Copper or brass for low resistance connections (from 5A to 650A).
Terminations: Crimp terminals, screw terminals, or cage clamp terminals are available.
Durability: UL 94 V0 rated polycarbonate housing with over 500 mating cycles and operating temperatures from -40°C to +125°C.
In addition, in the Han M series, the inserts are often used in combination with a hinged frame due to their flexible combination of features.
Heavy duty cable glands
Cable glands protect cable and connector connections from tension and environmental damage. Options include:
Seals: Plain or multi-layer seals.
Material: Metal or plastic
Compatibility: Matches hood/housing threads and cable diameter.
