Modular connectors

Complementary modules for modular connectors Product innovation

Integrate many different functions in the smallest space

The ability to accommodate multiple functions and connection options in a single connector is becoming increasingly important, even in harsh industrial applications. We have added around 20 new modules to the portfolio of our connector system to expand the range of applications for the modular connector.

TO CONFIGURATION

The new terminal block modules for more efficiency

Our modular system for great performance in the smallest of spaces

More for less: RockStar® ModuPlug, the modular connector, sets new standards. The connector system solves space problems by providing more functionality in a reduced installation space, also saving weight. The individual configuration of the different modules allows you to combine all required functions for the transmission of energy, signals and data in one interface. Another advantage is the more convenient and tool-free assembly. The sophisticated frames and module elements can be easily mounted and integrated into heavy duty connector housings with IP65 and IP68. Even existing applications can be easily supplemented with the RockStar® ModuPlug modular system without any system modifications. Custom configuration gives you more of what you need and less of what you can do without.

Space-saving and modular connection solutions for the control cabinet wall

The new RockStar® ModuPlug terminal block modules with PUSH IN connection technology re-inventing the control cabinet wiring. The innovative terminal solution in the connector frees up space in the cabinet and reduces the time needed for installation.

More freedom – less effort

More power – less weight

New module width brings more performance into the enclosure

High-performance 100 A module available in “Single Plus 1.5” width
Narrower than market standard, creates space for further modules
Smaller frames and enclosure sizes to save space and weight

More signals – less space

Higher contact density on a single module

Higher contact density transfers more signals with the same enclosure dimensions
36 signal contacts at a rated voltage of 250 V
Double module HD 36 achieves 50% more than the market standard

More data – less limits

10 Gbit high speed in the smallest of spaces

Up to two Cat-6A-cables with 10 Gbit to be integrated in a module
Innovative two-pole bus module can accommodate megabit and gigabit data inserts
Standard M12 connector technology achieves optimal EMC values

More options – less costs

New pitch sizes ensure added flexibility at lower costs

Four different module widths save installation space, weight and costs
Halved pitch size allows twice the number of module slots
Reduced pitch separation allows more functionality in the same installation space

More flexibility – less dependency

Single-source solution for more alternatives

Maximum flexibility thanks to modular design
High-performance connectors, components for panel building and plant automation
Compatibility enables flexibility in the connector system

More convenience – less risk

Optimal product design for safe and easy installation

Two-point fixture allows assembly and disassembly without tools
Fixed locking position provides stability, modules can be assembled faster and easier
Incorrect connection is avoided through special round and rectangular coding

Perfect complements

The brand new SNAP IN connection technology

The new SNAP IN connection technology will take your wiring processes to a whole new level. With SNAP IN, installation and maintenance work are as quick as snapping your fingers.

The new connection is as simple in principle as it is to use: the stripped conductor is inserted directly into open connection points and the snap connection snaps into place with a click.

PUSH IN connection solutions

In many industrial sectors, safe and reliable connections are essential. The PUSH IN technology saves a lot of time and guarantees maximum contact reliability, plus, it is particularly convenient to use: You take a stripped solid or fine-stranded conductor with a crimped-on ferrule, insert it into the clamping point up to the stop, and the safe and gas-tight connection is complete. Very simple and without any tools.

Fixed-pole HDC system

Go for real RockStars when choosing your connectors. Our extensive range of heavy duty connectors from Weidmuller offers the right solution for all power, signal and data transmission requirements outside the control cabinet. The heart of our RockStar® connectors are the fixed-pole inserts. No matter which interface you want to equip: the nine series in up to 12 sizes ensure reliable electrical function.

RockStar® HighPower high current connectors

The modular RockStar® HighPower system is specially designed for reliable signal transmission in high current applications in the field of motor power cabling, cyclone braking and carriage transfer in traffic engineering. The die-cast aluminum housing is impact resistant, corrosion resistant, and allows optimal use of space in the vehicles with low weight. The HighPower high current connector is an innovative solution for plug-in power transmission in traffic engineering and also meets the requirements of the wind power industry.

Customer-specific cable assembly

Whether you need standard or customized connection cables, we have the optimum solution for every cabling task. In our product range you will find both standard combinations and customized cabling solutions that are quickly available and guarantee reliable transmission of power, signals and data.

Optimized supply interface for tunnel boring machines implemented

The customer had originally only asked for a product for the Ethernet interface. During an on-site visit, however, the Weidmuller team realized that the processes of the manufacturer of tunnel boring machines could be made much more efficient with the right connection technology. Up until that point, the company had been assembling the cables with four connectors itself. For tunnel projects of many kilometers, these retooling times quickly add up to substantial sums. After a careful analysis of the requirements, Weidmuller’s proposal was to integrate the previous four connectors in a modular system into just one solution. The final product was developed, planned, and implemented together with the customer.
