The Phoenix Contact Heavycon range of heavy duty connectors already has a vast array of housings/hoods, bases and inserts offering unparalleled levels of configuration and choice. We also know that every eventuality/configuration cannot be provided, but with the newly enhanced modular connector offer, we go the extra mile in providing you with the modular inserts that you can tailor to your specific needs.

Our innovative ‘snap-in one piece frame’ makes the completion of your connector build that much easier and faster. The snap-in frame fits in all housings from the HEAVYCON STANDARD, EVO, and ADVANCE series. Modules and frames are compatible with the DIN market standard. An added benefit of our frame is that you can actually remove and insert modules whilst they are in the connector base and can even be moved/replaced whilst in the panel!

The new product range offers contact inserts with over 50 contact inserts for signal, power, data transmission (including RJ45 and Gigabit to fiber optics) and for pneumatic applications.

Our insert range also also includes  our ‘Push-In’ termination technology as well as screw, spring, crimp and IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact).
