in-line connector with screw type termination
in-line connector with screw type termination
(OP)
I?ve been looking for an in-line connector with screw type terminations. Prefer something for multi-conductor of 18 awg wire,
space saving and good in a vibration type environment. Everything I find has crimp or solder type pin termanaions.
Thanks for any help.

Harting has a range of connectors with screw connection. Big, bulky, heavy, expensive.
There are also some with cage-clamp connection.
Why can you not accept solder or crimp?

That's why I like 'em! That and they rarely fail.

We’ve used Harting, just now looking for some alternative. Phoenix has the connector I’m trying to describe but I just don’t care for the light duty housing.
I am avoiding solder/crimp style because this is for underground machinery (coal mines) and if the connector needs replaced, there would be to much time involved. And time is money
RE: in-line connector with screw type termination
But, is that really a valid reason to avoid them? A crimp tool is not so slow to operate. Faster than many other technologies.
But, as Scotty says. Harting is good for this purpose. If time is money, you should stick with them. Most other connector types cause more downtime. Which, as you said, translates into money.
