Multi-wire connectors require a housing in addition to one male insert, one female insert, a base, and a plug, adapter or cable gland to complete a reliable connector. Housings consist of a hood that mates with a base or a coupler with a locking system to ensure coupling stability and protection.

Multi-Wire Connectors
Category Selection
Heavy-duty multi-wire connectors are used for easy signal, power, and data connections to provide a secure, simple, and time-saving installation. Their rugged housings offer excellent protection against dirt, moisture, and mechanical stress and are ideal for terminating multiconductor cables. Connectors are assembled from components and require, at minimum, a male and a female insert, and a housing comprised of a hood and base.
- Available in 3A, 10A, 16A, 6B, 10B, 16B, 24B, and 32B sizes
- Heavy-duty metal housings in polyester powder coated die-cast aluminum alloy or self-extinguishing thermoplastic housings
- Single locking system (one lever locked on two pegs) or double locking system (two levers locked on four pegs)

Inserts
Inserts provide the wiring connections and are mounted between the hood and the base of the multi-wire connector assembly or a one-piece housing.
- Available in screw terminal or crimp style contact block connections
- Self-extinguishing thermoplastic reinforced with glass fibers
- Asymmetric guide rails prevent incorrect coupling
- Captive installation screws allow for easy and secure installation
- Laser-printed or molded terminal/contact positions on both sides of insert
- Wide contact surface for ground terminals
- IP20 without enclosures
- Suitable for stranded and solid conductors
Housings
Housings are available in Hoods, Bases, Couplers, Bulkhead and Surface mount configurations which provides a protective covering for the insert and wiring.
All housings are available in a standard profile. Several are offered with a high construction (HC) profile that allows more room for wiring the higher density inserts.
- Available with top entry or side entry cable passages
- Straight or angled models
- Thermoplastic or aluminum construction
- Various dimensions and sizes
- PG threads (PG to NPT adapters are also available) for conduit connection; IP68 or IP66 cable glands for cable entry
Crimp Contacts
For use with crimp style inserts, crimp contacts are securely connected to bare wires and installed into the multi-wire insert. A perfect crimp connection is gas-tight, corrosion free, and is equal to a cold weld of the parts being connected.
- Made of silver-plated or gold-plated copper alloy
- Female or male contacts, sold in 100-packs
- 10 Amp, 26-14 AWG and 16 Amp, 26-12 AWG sizes
- Use crimp contact tool for proper crimping
Plugs, Adapters, and Cable Glands
Plugs, adapters, and cable glands provide IP protection and support for cable connections to housings or bases.
- IP66 protection with plastic or metal cable glands
- IP68 protection with metal cable glands
- Adapters convert a PG thread to an NPT thread
- Blanking plugs with gaskets to seal unused ports
Housing Insert Plates
Housing insert plates provide a way to secure non-standard connectors, including 9-pin D-sub connectors, into a housing component.
- Single and dual 9- and 15-pin D-sub connector cutouts
- Blank cover plates or plates with selections
- Bulkhead cutout reducing insert plates selections available
- Thermoplastic construction with gasket included
Code Pins and Polarization Keys
Code pins are used in applications where there are identical connectors that could be coupled with the incorrect mate, potentially causing equipment damage or breakdown. Code pins replace the installation screws on the inserts.
Polarization keys provide a safe way for connectors to align properly, ensuring proper polarity.
Code Pins
- Single code pin or double code pin with male and female versions
- Sold in quantity packs
- Zinc-plated steel construction
Polarization Keys
- Fits 3A 12-pin inserts
- Two keys are required per coupled connection
- 12 red keys per pack
