Weidmuller Industrial Connectors
Weidmuller industrial connectors are designed to provide reliable power, signal, and data connectivity for factory automation, machinery, rail transport, process control, and outdoor-rated industrial equipment. Weidmüller connectors are rugged, well-built, and offer precision connection reliability—making them suitable for applications that require secure electrical contacts under vibration, shock, dirt, moisture, oil, or chemicals.
Weidmüller’s impressive range of industrial connectors includes their RockStar® heavy-duty industrial plug connectors, M12 circular connectors, modular power/data hybrid connectors, and industrial Ethernet connector solutions for smart factories (Industry 4.0), machine data logging, and distributed I/O IIoT nodes.
All Weidmuller connectors are high quality, with corrosion-resistant contacts, shaped insulation bodies, reinforced/high-impact materials, and sealing devices to ensure connectivity reliability over installation cycles, movement, and adverse conditions. Their modular housing system, stackable inserts, fast connect push-in technology, and color coding help installers save time/cost and avoid wiring mistakes.
More Information about Weidmuller Industrial Connectors
Weidmüller’s Rockstar® series heavy-duty multipole and modular connectors feature high strength housings, many insert options, EMC shielding, bayonet/screw latching, power inserts rated to 690V or 42A, IP67/IP68 sealing, and rugged metal or polyamide exterior construction. These are widely used for heavy machines, robotics, conveyors, wind turbines, packaging lines, outdoor devices, and mobile equipment.
Their modular inserts allow for mixed power, data, and control contacts within one housing to save panel space, simplify machine rewiring, and support field assembly/run/chaining. Weidmuller M12 connectors and patch cables provide secure-coded interconnection for sensors, actuators, and Ethernet fieldbuses such as PROFINET and EtherCAT.
