Wheel Bearing Locknut Socket Sets

Shaped and sized for compatibility with wheel bearing locknuts on trucks and trailers, the sockets in these sets make it easy to install and remove locknuts.

Electrical Connectors

Latching Connectors

Protect connections while maintaining access. The base and hood latch together securely yet can be quickly detached for equipment repair or replacement.

High-Current Latching Connectors

Often used with thermosensors or brakes on large motors, these carry more than twice the current of standard latching connectors.

Harsh Environment Latching Connectors

A rubber seal and stainless steel hardware give these connectors excellent chemical resistance. They're rated NEMA 12, 4X, and IP65 for protection against corrosion, oil, and washdown environments.

Multipurpose Build-Your-Own Latching Connectors

Assemble a connector that can handle multiple applications at once. Combine inserts that send power, signal, and data with a base and a hood.

Build-Your-Own Latching Connectors

Configure a connector for your application—combine inserts for power and signal with a base and a hood.

Compact Build-Your-Own Latching Connectors

Build a connector that fits in tight spaces by combining male and female inserts for power and signal with a compact base and a hood.

Mil. Spec. Compatible Connectors

These connectors have the same pin and socket configuration as connectors that meet MIL-DTL-26482, so they can be used with products that meet the same standard. Quickly mate them by pushing them together.

Mil. Spec. Screw-Together Connectors

Rated to MIL-DTL-5015 specifications, these connectors are compatible with other products that meet the same standard. They screw together for a secure connection.

Mil. Spec. Push-In Connectors

These connectors meet MIL-DTL-26482, so they're compatible with other products that meet the same standard. Quickly mate by pushing them together.

IEC Safe-Break Pin-and-Sleeve Connectors

These connectors meet international standards IEC 309-1 and 309-2. They prevent an electrical arc when separating mated connectors, so you can safely connect and disconnect with the power on.

Safe-Break Pin-and-Sleeve Connectors

Connect and disconnect with the power on—spring-loaded contacts open like a switch when separating the connectors, preventing an electrical arc.

Hazardous Location Safe-Break
Pin-and-Sleeve Connectors

Use connectors where ignitable gas and dust may be present, such as in refineries and silos. They also prevent an electrical arc when separating mated connectors so you can safetly connect and disconnect with the power on.

IEC Pin-and-Sleeve Connectors

Meet international standards IEC 309-1 and 309-2.

Corrosion-Resistant Pin-and-Sleeve Connectors

When used together, connectors maintain a watertight and corrosion-resistant NEMA 4X connection.

Micro M12 Screw-Together Connectors

Because they tightly thread to M12 connections, these connectors won’t let contaminants in or come loose from vibration in rugged industrial environments and automated systems as they send power and signal or just power to your equipment.

Mini Connectors

Often used to send power and signal to automated systems, motors, and pumps, these mini connectors carry higher currents than M5, M8, and M12 connectors.

Harsh Environment Mini Connectors

Send higher current than M5, M8, and M12 connectors near tough industrial jobs, such as welding and metal machining.

Mini Terminator Plugs

Also known as dummy plugs, these plugs close the electrical circuit on your mini connector, so you can safely change devices or repair connections.

Sanitary Mini Connectors

Send higher current than M12 connectors to automated systems, motors, and pumps in environments where washdowns are common.

Shielded Mini Connectors

Protect against signal interference while sending 2-3 times more current than M12 connectors.

Micro M16 Connectors

Screw these micro M16 connectors together to securely connect equipment.

Micro M16 Wet-Location Connectors

Rated IP69K, these M16 connectors protect against dust, debris, and hot, high-pressure jets of water at high volumes.

Push-In Miniaturized Connectors

Push these connectors together to quickly create signal and data connections in tight spaces. They need less space to mate than screw-together connectors, which require two hands to twist them in place.

Ready-to-Use Weatherproof DC Connectors

Quickly replace or add connectors to an existing wiring system—connectors come assembled with wire leads already installed. Also known as weather-pack connectors, they withstand moisture, harsh engine fluids, and high temperatures.

Deutsch-Style DC Connectors

Use these connectors in vehicles and other agricultural and construction equipment. They have a sealed nylon housing that resists dust and temporary submersion.

Panel-Mount Deutsch-Style DC Connectors

Install these connectors in panels, enclosures, and bulkheads to join equipment with compatible Deutsch-style DC connectors.

Molex Compact Connector Sets

Sets include a plug and socket with wire leads already installed, so they can be quickly added to existing wiring systems. They fit standard Molex plugs and sockets.

Weatherproof Molex Compact Connector Sets

A sealed housing protects connectors from weather. Sets include a plug and socket with wire leads already installed. They fit standard Molex connectors.

AMP Compact Connector Sets

Connectors come assembled with wire leads already installed, so they can be quickly added to existing wiring systems. Use them with AMP MATE-N-LOK connectors.

Stackable Pin-to-Pin Connectors

Also known as power-pole connectors, these single-pole connectors join two pin connections, rather than a pin and socket. They stack from the top and sides to form any configuration.

Servomotor M23 Connectors

These general purpose M23 connectors send power or signal to servomotors, servocontrollers, and servodrives.

Allen Bradley-Compatible Servomotor M23 Connectors

Use these sockets with Allen-Bradley servomotor systems.

Siemens-Compatible Servomotor M23 Connectors

Choose a socket that works with your Siemens servomotor system.

High-Current Pin-and-Sleeve Connectors

A current rating up to 400 amps makes these connectors suitable for use in industrial machinery and floodlights.

Flat Pin-and-Sleeve Connectors

Reduce the likelihood of slips and falls in high-traffic areas—connectors won't roll when stepped on.

Power Cords

Mini Cords

With a higher maximum current than nano M8 and micro M12 cords, these mini cords are often used with automated systems, motors, and pumps.

Harsh Environment Mini Cords

Often used for automated systems, motors, and pumps in tough industrial areas such as near welding and metal machining, these cords carry higher current than M5, M8, and M12 cords.

Compact Cords

Compatible with Molex connectors, these cords are sized to fit in tight spaces. They're often used in the interior of machines.
