When the wiring process rocks

Weidmüller RockStar®:
As fast as a snap of your fingers!

With SNAP IN, Weidmüller is revolutionising connection systems and bringing them to a new level. Flexible, stranded wires without crimped-on wire-end ferrules can be easily inserted into the open connection point.
"Click" – that's all it takes to create a secure connection. No tools are required. The connection can withstand even harsh environmental conditions with heavy shaking and vibrations. The connection point can be opened by activating the pusher, and the connected wire can be removed.
Innovative SNAP IN connection technology is used for the first time in the RockStar® series of fixed-pole inserts and modules. Fixed-pole inserts with 6, 10, 16 and 24 poles are available (size 3, 4, 6 and 8) with a rated voltage of 500 V / 16 A. The new HDC inserts allow for quicker, easier, more reliable and more flexible wiring. Maintenance work is significantly quicker. The modular plug-in connector system RockStar® ModuPlug provides even more flexibility. With its range of different modules, it provides the user with multiple options for combining functions individually within an interface.
The new SNAP IN connection technology not only serves to save valuable installation space, but the user also benefits from the enormous time savings during installation.

Various connection systems

The heavy-duty connectors of the RockStar® series are permanent fixtures within machinery and plant engineering, as well as in the railway and wind power industries. They also support the trend towards modularisation.
Cross-model and cross-application inserts are available with various connection systems for screw, tension clamp, PUSH IN, crimp or axial screw connection. In addition, there are now inserts that are equipped with the innovative, future-proof SNAP IN connection. This connection system is the result of Weidmüller's consistent further development of the well-known PUSH IN connection system. With the SNAP IN connection, users can easily insert the stripped, flexible, stranded wire into the connection point for the first time, with no need to crimp on a wire-end ferrule. The open SNAP IN system is designed to close automatically as soon as the stripped wire has reached the correct position and the spring has triggered.
Functional principle of SNAP IN connection technology
The stripped conductor is inserted directly into the open connection point, and the SNAP IN connection engages with a click. And it's just as fast the other way round. Simply press the pusher and the connection point re-opens immediately.
