Running a modern and high-performance transport system is a great logistical challenge and

demands fast, flexible, efficient and safe railway vehicles which requires short periods of immobi-

lisation and servicing. These demands are reflected by technical concepts with innovative elec-

trical connection technology.

Terminals, connectors, enclosures or marking systems Weidmller has been developing and

fine-tuning components in order to fulfil the special requirements of the rail industry for 50 years.

Our products are put to the test in railway day in, day out, proving their resilience to vibrations,

impacts and climatic conditions.

MODULARITY AND PLATFORM DESIGN

As the need for mobility grows, so do the demands placed on the various interior and exterior

applications and components on railway. Increasingly individualised, higher-performance inter-

faces are particularly sought-after for the development of innovative platform concepts for

different train types.

Weidmller supports these innovative platform concepts with a whole range of solutions and

a broad product portfolio.

More flexibility for your production

We have been offering our customers tailored services for over 35 years, with a focus on indi-

vidually adapted enclosures and assembled mounting rails. And that means maximum flexibility

and cost-effectiveness for you!

High-speed trains, trams, metros or locomotives they all run safely with electrical connection

technology from Weidmller. We have been cooperating with leading rail manufacturers around

the world for years, in order to fulfil the demand for mobility by offering innovative, customer-

specific solutions.

Our aim is to increase your competitiveness via simple, optimised connections and interfaces.

SOLUTIONS FROM WEIDMLLER APPLICATION: WAGON-TO-WAGON CONNECTION

Robust products are essential in tough condi-

tions, but they must also provide a cost-effective

solution. Our stud terminals and heavy-duty

plug-in connectors do just that: they are easily

pluggable and easy to disconnect, making them

perfect for quickly coupling wagons. The heavy-

duty plug-in connectors with RockStar housing

guarantee fast signal transmission, e.g. of the

WTB (wire train bus). Power is transmitted via

ST 4000 stud terminals and the WF series.

During the railways life cycle, maintenance costs considerably outstrip acquisition costs. The time

needed for servicing can be cut dramatically by using connections that are quickly disconnected,

meaning that Weidmller makes a significant contribution towards cutting life cycle costs (LCC).

We therefore fulfil our customers demands for durability and cost-effectiveness in all

applications!

APPLICATION: CONTROL CABINET

All the trains control signals come together in one

control cabinet. This is connected externally by means

of heavy-duty plug-in connections. Our space-saving

Z series terminals, MCZR TRAK-type relay couplers and

diode holders maintain an electric connection and

ensure that the signals in the control cabinet are

analysed reliably.

APPLICATION: SANDING SYSTEM

Signals control the opening of the sanding system slider via an electrical interface. The electrics

are enclosed in K range aluminium enclosure with corrosion-resistant coating in order to protect

them from extreme environmental conditions. Thanks to the use of ZDUB mini block terminals on

a mounting rail measuring just 15 mm, the whole application takes up so little space that it fits

next to the sand feeder.

APPLICATION: TRACTION MOTOR CONNECTION

In modern high-speed trains, high currents are sup-

plied to the motors to enable the train to accelerate to

its top speed. Our ST 4000 stud terminals have been

specially developed to transfer such high currents for

railway. The ST 4000 stud terminals are protected from

external conditions such as splashes of water, dust and

stones by corrosion-resistant stainless steel enclosure

from our TB range.

APPLICATION: DOOR CONTROLS AND DRIVERS CAB

Flexible modular terminal concepts are needed wherever complete functional units are prefabri-

cated or replaced. Thats why terminals with WeiCos-type plug-in connectors are used in the

drivers cab and door controls. This combination makes it possible to connect prefabricated

functional units with the existing installation quickly and faultlessly. Simply insert the plug-in

connector into the terminal and youre done! A spring-powered contact and the locking elements

guarantee that the contact withstands impacts, vibration and jolts.

FOR ABSOLUTE SAFETY

TESTED AND CERTIFIED

The components used for transport technology are constantly exposed to extreme conditions.

Thats why our products are tested in our own accredited laboratory for particularly relevant

criteria such as resistance to vibration, impacts and extreme temperatures, as well as durability

and electromagnetic compatibility.

To make sure you always receive top quality from Weidmller, each of our products is subject

to strict quality assurance and fulfils the following international railway norms and standards:

General: DIN EN 50155, DIN EN 50343, NF F 61-017

Behaviour in fire: NF F 16-101, BS 6853, ASTM E 162

Resistance to impacts and vibration: IEC 61373/Ria 20

Our new railway industry CD-ROM contains everything you need to know about standards and

approvals, tests passed according to railway norms, references, material tests and lots of further

information.

You can order your free copy of the railway industry CD-ROM by e-mailing [email protected].

FOR EXTREME CONDITIONS

Left: We use the needle flame test to investigate how the plastics used behave in fire.

Right: Testing for impact and vibration-resistance simulates different mechanical strains in the

vehicle or on the bogie.

Left: Our products are exposed to different climates in modern climatic test chambers.

Right: One of the many stages of quality control: the EMC test.
