Module Connect

Made to measure

The Module Connect is a new kind of plug-in connector for the connection of electric cables, fibre-optic cables and pneumatic hoses. It is characterised by a space-saving, low-profile housing and can be used wherever a large number of cables have to be connected in an installation space as small as possible. In 2018, the Module Connect won the Red Dot Design Award.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is Module Connect?

What are the advantages of Module Connect?

In what areas is Module Connect used?

How is Module Connect used in combination with energy supplies?

One connector module instead of many individual connectors

Thanks to the simple modular design, a unique plug-in/disconnect point can be configured as a single module consisting of several different connector housings. Each housing can be fitted with up to four different connector inserts.

The housings can then be joined together, making an almost unlimited number of module variations possible in terms of individual widths and height. Due to the low-profile housing design, the Module Connect saves a lot of space and enables a high contact density for every application.

Applications with Module Connect

Module Connect in the packaging industry

Module Connect ensures fast maintenance in the packaging industry

In case of maintenance, igus has provided a plug-and-play system to enable quick maintenance. Previously, maintenance work took about four hours, which could often only be carried out by two employees. A replacement of the energy supply system now takes about 45 minutes with just one person using the new interface concept, the Module Connect from igus.

GHD Hartmann is one of the first customers to use the Module Connect connector. End customers of GHD Hartmann easily replace the energy supply with the plug-in connector from the modular system.

Module Connect in the packaging industry

Module Connect ensures fast commissioning of the energy supply system in the wood-working industry

The challenge for our customer in this project in particular was that the path of the cables through the machine from the consumer unit to the switch cabinet amounts to 100 metres. This creates logistical challenges in the event of service, where there is planned or unplanned downtime.The readychain complete solution offers the customer the greatest advantages in this application. We have a fully harnessed energy chain, including the plug-and-play interface solution Module Connect for their machines.

Module Connect adapter avoids long downtimes in automatic parking systems

Wherever fast reaction times are required, e.g. in the event of a fault, the Module Connect adapter ensures fast connection of the energy supply system to the machine and avoids long downtimes.

An example is an automatic parking system that weighs and measures the car and then moves it to a suitable parking position.

Applications in energy supply systems

Where the automation of machines and industrial plant is concerned, there is a whole series of different reasons to decide in favour of pre-assembled energy supply systems.
Manufacturing costs decrease, sources of errors are practically excluded. Less project planning work is needed whereas reliability increases. Possible areas of use are in assembly/installation engineering and handling technology, in conveyor technology or in mechanical engineering.

Applications with readychain®

Modular plug-in connector for energy chains

Plug in your energy supply with just ONE connector

The connector modules can be adapted to the filling and geometry of the e-chain in one or more layers. This enables ideal cabling in terms of function and design for every application.

Combining the system with the universal strain relief system from igus enables secure attachment directly in the connector housing. The soft elements used enclose the cables and hold them securely in place without damaging them. Visually reminiscent of a honeycomb, the flexible structure adapts itself to different cable diameters which provides universal strain relief.

For Module Connect, there are a variety of application possibilities, such as at the chain fixed end or moving end, between two e-chains or for the insertion of cables in terminal boxes or switch cabinets.

Adapter ensures easy and quick connection of the energy chain

The Module Connect adapter joins the Module Connect plug-in connector and the energy chain together to form a composite assembly.

Save up to 80% assembly time
Connect to the system with just a few simple steps
Clearly structured interface
Simple connection of the energy chain, even without electronic skills
Sustainable
Existing igus energy supply systems can be easily supplemented - the adapter is tailored to different e-chain series
