Heavy Duty Connectors (HDC) are industrial connectors designed to transmit power, data and signal in the toughest of conditions. In environments with vibrations, risk of dust, temperature challenges and mechanical impact, our HDC connectors provide a reliable solution with solid aluminum or thermoplastic hoods and housings with protection degree from IP65 up to IP69k. Approved according to EN/IEC 61984 standard, our HDC connectors range from 10A to 650A, and are available with up to 288 contacts.

Applications are getting smaller but connectors are being asked to do more. Connectors need to reach a higher power and provide flexibility in modular, hybrid solutions. Learn more about how TE Connectivity’s Heavy Duty Connectors get the job done for your application needs in this video.
With the broad portfolio of Heavy Duty Connectors, TE Connectivity offers a reliable solution for industrial applications in the harshest environments, from rail to the factory. The modular concept of these connectors provides a flexible and quick adaption to the requirements of your application.
TE introduces the newest upgrade - HDC TIC-LOQ Technology. HDC with TIC-LOQ technology features a self-locking system, fitting with metal enclosures, IP65 water protection, and compatibility with a standard HDC portfolio. Choose from a variety of inserts from 2 pins to 32 pins in a single module allowing for both power and signal transfer with current available from 2.2 amps to 40 amps.
We offer a vast portfolio of heavy duty rectangular power connectors as well as signal connectors to suit many application needs. In the indoor applications, try the lightweight and safe thermoplastic enclosures, saving space and installation effort. High performance inserts provide standard and high density contact configurations, with electrical performance ranging from 2.2A @ 32V up to 650A at 12kV. Reliable lose-piece screw machined contacts and cost efficient stamped & formed contacts on the reel are available for crimp, screw and cage clamp termination and offered in gold, silver, tin and palladium plated options. Space saving hybrid connectors make power, signal and data transmission possible in a single connection, and HMN modular system will make interface customization as easy as the use of building blocks can be.
