Currently, heavy-duty connectors are used wherever there is a need for a secure, simple and time-saving assembly of machinery and facilities. The connector housings are made of die-cast aluminium and offer excellent protection against dirt, moisture and mechanical stress. Special modular connectors make it possible to integrate signals, power supply and data connections into a single connector. With the RockStar® heavy-duty connectors, Weidmüller offers a product line with many patented innovations that is oriented towards the future. The RockStar® product line defines new standards with the comprehensive depth and width of its features. What other suppliers offer only as a custom configuration, Weidmüller supplies in its standard product line. As a result, selecting the proper connector is now easier than ever. You save both time and money. And your work flow is optimised. Thus you can strengthen your position on the market and leverage your competitive advantage
A heavy-duty connector consists of a connector insert and its protective housing. 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 unlimited world-wide use of the RockStar® connector.
A heavy-duty connector consists of a connector insert and its protective housing. All of Weidmüller's RockStar® housings are made of high-quality die-cast aluminium. Thus they are impact- and corrosion-resistant, yet 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.
Make your connections fit for the future
With the advanced solutions from RockStar® ModuPlug
Industrial applications are becoming increasingly complex. The demands being
made of the connectivity used are growing at the same time. Functionality in the
smallest of installation spaces, safe installation and a fast retrofitting process are
just some of the product properties being called for.
Not only does our RockStar® ModuPlug modular plug-in connector system meet
current market requirements; it has been specially designed with the future in
mind too.
Using the individual modules, you combine all the necessary functions for power,
signal and data transmission in a single interface. Thanks to the new variety
of module sizes, you can fit more applications than ever before in one plug-in
connector. The modules reduce the amount of space required and cut costs when
compared with fixed-pole inserts and other modular plug-in connector systems.
The sophisticated frames and modules can be installed with extreme ease and
integrated into HDC enclosures with the IP65 and IP68 protection classes. You
can even use the RockStar® ModuPlug to supplement existing applications
without any need to make system adjustments.
As an experienced Industrial Connectivity partner, Weidmüller offers ultra-modern
connectivity with maximum reliability. So you can create customised solutions for
future-proof connections with RockStar® too.
The heart of a connector is its contacts. They make up the actual connection between two conductors. For this purpose, two contact types are necessary - plugs and sockets The plug (male) implements the electrical connection along its outer surface. It is inserted into the socket, which conducts the electrical connection along the surface of its interior side. Weidmüller offers crimp contacts made with different surfaces: gold or silver.
The RockStar® kits normally consist of a male insert, a female insert, a plug housing, a bulkhead housing and a cable gland. Weidmüller offers a range of standard plug-in connector combinations with metric or PG cable entry threads, with screw connection or PUSH IN connection.
The RockStar® HighPower housings are manufactured from high-strength die-cast aluminium and offer perfect protection against harsh environmental conditions thanks to continual optimisation. The multi-part housing gives users the opportunity to examine work processes down to the last step in the workflow.
In addition to heavy-duty connectors, RockStar® includes the appropriate accessories for effective, functional and safe system cabling; e.g. coding systems, shield clamps, cover plates and replacement seals
