Molex Molex GWconnect Heavy Duty Connectors
Molex GWconnect Heavy Duty Connectors (HDC) are designed for heavy-duty industrial applications. The connectors are suitable for use with AC or DC and facilitate the manufacturing process, installation, and maintenance of sectional electric parts in complex machinery. These heavy-duty connector enclosures are suitable for various industrial installations, being available for standard, harsh, and EMC environments. The inserts in self-extinguishing thermoplastic material UL94V0 are available with screw terminals, screw terminals with terminal block, spring terminals, crimp terminals, and push-in terminals.
The Molex GWconnect Heavy Duty Connectors are designed with top-quality materials and conform to international standards and UL/CSA requirements. These heavy-duty connectors are compromised of die-cast aluminum alloy with either a polyester powder (nickel-plated for EMC versions) finish or a self-extinguishing thermoplastic. The connectors are ideally used for electric and electronic machinery, robots, electric panels, control equipment and power, and control or signal circuit connectivity.
