Variocon® VC Series, Heavy Duty Connector Assemblies

Heavy-duty connector assemblies consist of various components, including bushings, contacts, housings, and inserts, which are used to create a complete and functional heavy-duty connector. These connectors are specifically designed to handle high currents and voltages and are characterized by their large size. One of the notable features of heavy-duty connectors is their wide range of positions. They can accommodate a varying number of connections, ranging from 2+ground to 48+ground. This flexibility allows for versatile applications in different industries and electrical systems. The size of heavy-duty connectors is typically denoted by a standardized coding system. The sizes can range from B10 to 32B, indicating the physical dimensions and specifications of the connector. This provides a standardized and consistent way to select the appropriate connector size for specific requirements. Within the assembly, bushings play a crucial role in providing strain relief and protection for the cables connected to the connector. Contacts are responsible for establishing electrical connections and are designed to handle the high currents and voltages associated with heavy-duty applications. Housings offer structural support and protection for the connector assembly, ensuring durability and reliability in demanding environments. Inserts provide insulation and proper alignment for secure connections within the housing. By combining these components, a heavy-duty connector assembly is created, capable of withstanding rugged conditions and delivering reliable electrical connections. These assemblies are commonly used in industrial and commercial settings where large current and voltage ratings are required. In summary, heavy-duty connector assemblies consist of multiple components that are assembled to create a reliable and robust connector. These connectors are known for their large size, high current and voltage ratings, and are available in various position options. By selecting the appropriate size and components, heavy-duty connector assemblies provide secure and efficient electrical connections for a wide range of applications.
