Discover your freedom with rockStar® Moduplug
RockStar® ModuPlug enables the flexible combination of all the necessary functions for power, signal and
data transmission in a single application-specific interface.

Up until now, there were two standard
module widths for heavy-duty
connectors: ‘Single 1.0’ and ‘Double 2.0’.
Weidmuller has created new dimensions
with the intermediate sizes of ‘Half 0.5’
and ‘Single Plus 1.5’. Four different module
widths make for unprecedented levels of
flexibility and allow for the construction
of particularly space-saving connector
solutions. SAME ENCLOSURE DIMENSIONS
The sophisticated frames and modules
can be installed with extreme ease and
integrated into HDC enclosures with the
IP65 and IP68 protection classes.
M ORE POWER – L ESS WEIGHT
Users have the option of either using
more functional modules within the same
installation space or having the same
functions as before but with a smaller
frame and housing. The latter option
helps to achieve weight savings, making
it particularly suitable for applications in
the fields of railway engineering and wind
energy.
Thanks to a higher contact density – 36
signal contacts at a rated voltage of 250V,
the double module HD36 achieves 50
percent more contacts in the same space
as the market standard.
M ORE OPTIONS – L ESS COSTS - SAVE
INSTALLATION SPACE , WEIGHT AND COSTS
You can choose between four different
module widths. The halved pitch size
allows twice the number of module slots
in the frame, plus the reduced pitch
separation allows more functionality in
the same space.
M ORE CONVENIENCE – L ESS RISK

LEVEL OF DATA TRANSFER
RockStar® ModuPlug offers assembly and
disassembly without tools. A fixed locking
position provides stability for faster and
easier assembly. Incorrect connection is
avoided through a unique coding system.
In addition, there’s less wiring work
required thanks to the ability to connect
two PE cables of up to 10 mm².
Two Cat.6A cables each with 10 Gbits can
now be integrated in a single module.
The use of standard M12 connector
technology achieves optimal EMC values
and the 360˚ shield connection offers
maximum protection against external
interference.
