TE’s HDC product series is designed for data, signal and power connections in harsh environments. The modular connector design provides a high degree of flexibility so solutions can be customized for different applications such as machinery, robotics, railway, wind energy and conventional energy generation and distribution. HDC products consist of three key elements: inserts, contacts and hoods and housings. The inserts and contacts are modular and assembled together to provide electrical performance offering crimp-, screw- and spring-clamp termination technology.The hoods and housings are made of powder coated die cast aluminium alloy or of thermoplastic and are protecting the connector inserts against the ingress of dust or water. Cable glands in different versions or DIN-rail mounts are completing the connector solutions as accessories.
