Multi-Contact Connector Parts

Multi-contact connector parts are separately sold components such as the housing, insert, protective cover and junction box that make up a heavy-duty rectangular connector. They are preferred in panel and machine manufacturing to build housing and insert combinations that ready-made plugs and sockets do not cover, to replace a single damaged part, or to use inserts with screw, spring or crimp connection in the same housing. Most of the products are under connector housings and connector inserts; protective covers and hot runner connector boxes are listed in separate subgroups. Select by matching the housing size to the insert size, the latch arrangement to the mating housing, and the insert's number of contacts and rated current to the mating insert. A working connection requires two mating housings together with the matching plug and socket inserts; in large housing sizes such as 32B and 48B, two inserts are fitted in each housing. Before using housings and inserts from different brands together, check the manufacturers' dimensional drawings.
