Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series Housings
- AMP
- Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series
When vehicles work in mud, water, or constant vibration, the housing is the first line of defense. Our Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series housings use a rugged, UL 94 V0 thermoplastic with integrated secondary locking and color keying. They support IP67 sealing and IP6K9K with backshells across sizes and 2–18 positions for wire-to-wire, wire-to-device, and wire-to-board layouts. This helps protect power and signal in trucks, buses, construction, and agriculture equipment.

Overview
Harsh duty shakes weak housings loose. Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Housings use a glass filled PBT body with integrated secondary lock and slide lock options to help resist vibration and mismating.
With IP67 sealing and IP6K9K when paired with backshells, they help keep moisture and debris away from contacts in spray down and road spray conditions.
- Proven in vehicles: Rated from 40°C to +140°C and vibration tested 177 m/s² for extended cycles to support off-highway duty.
- Design flexibility: Multiple housing groups, 2–18 positions, color keying, flanged and flangeless tab styles, plus CAN bus housings for SAE J1939 networks.
- System ready: Works with Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series sealing plugs, backshells, and accessories to help manage strain relief and sealing paths.

Real World Applications
Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series Housings
Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Housings are designed to perform in the toughest industrial and commercial transportation environments:
- Truck and Bus Systems: Used in chassis harness junctions, lighting, telematics, ABS/EBS brake units, and potential distribution blocks where reliable power and signal delivery is critical.
- Construction Equipment: Deployed in excavators, loaders, and cranes to connect actuators, hydraulic pumps, and sensors exposed to constant wash-down and dirt.
- Agricultural Machinery: Applied in tractors, harvesters, and sprayers for fuel level sensors, E-motors, and frame-mounted harness runs subject to high vibration and debris.
- Mining and Off-Highway Vehicles: Installed in drilling rigs, haul trucks, and bulldozers where sealed housings withstand extreme dust, water spray, and mechanical shock.
- CAN Bus Communication (SAE J1939): Utilized for three-position housings, Y-connectors, and resistor housings that link ECUs in distributed control networks across industrial vehicles.
