Housings for rectangular connectors, also known as connector housings, rectangular connector shells, or industrial connector enclosures, form the structural backbone of modular interconnection systems in industrial environments. These components are designed to accommodate contact inserts, providing mechanical protection, strain relief, and environmental sealing. Key technical parameters include the number of poles (e.g., 6P, 10P, 16P, 24P, 48P), rated voltage (typically up to 690V AC/DC), rated current (depending on the insert, from 10A to 100A), and degree of protection (IP65, IP66, IP67, or IP69K for washdown applications). Housings are available in various materials such as die-cast aluminum, stainless steel, or high-performance polyamide, with options for surface mounting, bulkhead mounting, or cable-to-cable connections. They often feature integrated locking mechanisms like single-lever, double-lever, or screw locking, and can include EMC shielding for sensitive signal transmission.
These housings are deployed across a wide spectrum of industrial sectors, including factory automation, robotics, machine tools, process control, and renewable energy systems. They are commonly installed in control cabinets, junction boxes, and on machinery for power distribution, signal transmission, and data communication. Typical applications include connecting servo drives, sensors, actuators, and fieldbus systems in harsh environments where vibration, moisture, and dust are prevalent. In the automotive industry, they are used in assembly lines and test benches; in the energy sector, for wind turbines and solar inverters; and in logistics, for conveyor systems and automated storage.
Within this category, key subcategories include hoods (top-entry or side-entry), housings for base mounting, and bulkhead housings. Common article codes follow patterns like HAN-3A, HAN-6B, HAN-10B, HAN-16B, HAN-24B, and HAN-48B, where the number indicates the size or pole count, and the letter denotes the series (e.g., A for small, B for standard, E for heavy-duty). For example, a HAN-16B housing typically accommodates 16-pole inserts. Other series include HEC, HE, and HVE, each with specific dimensional and performance characteristics. The code structure often includes material and locking type suffixes, such as -M for metal or -K for plastic.
