AutomationDirect has added METEcon multi-wire connectors that feature quality and cost-effective inserts and housings. Inserts are available in multiple pole configurations from two poles plus ground up to 108 poles plus ground, with screw or crimp termination types and sizes ranging from 26 to 12 AWG, 10 to 80 Amps. METEcon housings are made of die-cast aluminum with a polyester powder finish or self-extinguishing thermoplastic. They are suitable for use in electrical panels, power connections and other industrial applications. Source: AutomationDirectSource: AutomationDirect

Crimp contacts ensure a gas-tight, corrosion-free connection with very low contact resistance. METEcon multi-wire connectors provide secure connections and carry UL and CE agency approvals.

Multi-wire connectors provide a secure, fast and easy way to make machine or system electrical connections. Multi-wire connectors are assembled from components that might include a housing (hood, and base or coupler), connector inserts, conductor terminations (for crimped contacts) and fittings.

The new METEcon multi-wire connector housings start at $1.50, inserts start at $2.00, and crimp contacts start at $35.50/100 pk.
