Railway

Our connectors are crucial in the rail industry. They ensure safe power and data transmission and meet the special requirements of this application.

British engineer George Stephenson's No. 1 locomotive's first line was opened on September 27, 1825. The track gauge was 1435 mm; it subsequently became the standard for most of the world's railroads. Stephenson set one of the very first global standards at the time. He not only revolutionized passenger and freight transport but also became a pioneer of industrial standardization. In this spirit, we offer a wide range of standard products in various designs for all rail-bound vehicles such as locomotives, wagons, railcars freight systems, etc. Our connector systems are also used worldwide in the infrastructure and communication technology of rail transportation.

Our Series for Transportation Technology

In addition to a large portfolio of rectangular connectors, which are the industry standard in railroad technology, we offer circular connectors and high-current technologies that provide our customers with solutions for almost any connector requirement. Our design and manufacturing centers are IRIS certified and our products are tested according to the relevant standards. Our connectors are used on signals, switches, and displays in the infrastructure sector, as well as on jumpers, bogies, control cabinets, air conditioning systems, and many other rolling stock components.

Applications in the Transportation Technology

In transportation technology, including railroad applications, connectors play a key role in safe and reliable power and data transmission, ensuring efficient control of systems and enabling smooth operation.

heavy|mate

The heavy|mate series is the optimal choice for railcar interchanges as it perfectly meets the demanding requirements of this application. They offer reliable transmission of data, signals and power, even under extreme conditions such as mechanical stress and large thermal differences. Their individual adaptability to space conditions makes them extremely flexible to use.

In addition, the secure and reliable connection of heavy|mate, which can be quickly disconnected, ensures a smooth process if necessary. The bending and torsion-tested trolley transition cables offer a long service life and are easy to assemble, which saves time and money. This multitude of properties makes heavy|mate a comprehensive solution for the trolley transition.

heavy|mate & ecomate

The heavy|mate and eco|mate series are used in the driver's console of trains to transmit the signals for monitors and operating elements. These connectors meet the demanding requirements of the "Human Machine Interface" (HMI) by bringing together the most important electrical systems in the train.

Thanks to their high packing density and the integration of a wide range of technologies in a very small space, heavy|mate and eco|mate enable efficient use of the limited space in the driver's console. Their modular systems also ensure a high level of serviceability, as individual components can be easily replaced if necessary.

Another important aspect is the exclusion of mutual system interference, which ensures reliable and trouble-free operation of the electrical systems in the train. As a result, heavy|mate and eco|mate offer a comprehensive solution for the driver's console of trains that ensures maximum performance, efficiency and reliability.

heavy|mate

The heavy|mate series is also used in train bogies and fulfills a number of demanding requirements. These connectors are ideal for use in environments exposed to high voltages and currents. They also offer protection against high-frequency interference (EMC) and withstand harsh environmental conditions following category 3 of IEC 61373.

Thanks to their robust design, they can withstand even extreme thermal loads. In addition, the heavy|mate series is characterized by its space-saving design and is therefore ideal for applications with limited installation space. Overall, these connectors offer a reliable solution for the demanding requirements in train bogies.
