Heavy-Duty Connectors

Heavy-Duty Connectors (HDC) offer durable, multi-pole connectors and enclosures for industrial, robotic, and control applications. Made from die-cast aluminum or thermoplastic, they ensure secure locking, dust/water sealing, and meet UL/CSA standards.
Modern manufacturers strive to streamline operation of production lines and minimize costly downtime. Industrial-grade connectivity solutions from Molex adhere to the highest quality standards, boosting performance while protecting human operators and ensuring the functional safety of robot systems.
The HDC parts deliver reliable performance for demanding industrial environments, ensuring reliable operation while reducing maintenance costs and production downtime. The connectors combine power, signal, circular bus, high-voltage and pneumatic connectors into a single plug, reducing system complexity and accelerating system upgrades and expansions to meet changing market needs. Standardized and intuitive interconnect and terminal designs reduce the need for specialized tooling and training, thereby reducing costs.
Features
- Offers high current and voltage up to 1,000V and 200.0A, with high circuit density (up to 216 poles), support high-power applications and limit the need for multiple connectors.
- Durable, impact-resistant enclosures with smart features (asymmetric guide rails, stainless steel pegs, lockable covers) prevent assembly errors and ensure safe, long-term operation.
- Hybrid inserts combine power and signal connections, saving space and streamlining both assembly and maintenance.
- Corrosion-resistant, oil-resistant, and high IP/NEMA-rated housings ensure reliable performance in dusty, wet, or extreme conditions from -40°C to +125°C.
- Modular inserts let you combine power, signal, data, and pneumatic connections in one plug—customizing for your application while reducing design constraints.
