EPIC® Industrial Connectors for Power, Control, Signal and Data
Industrial machinery depends on electrical connections that remain secure under vibration, moisture, dust, temperature changes and routine maintenance.
LAPP’s EPIC® industrial connectors provide detachable connections for transmitting power, control signals and industrial data. The range includes rectangular connectors, circular connectors, industrial RJ45 connectors and high-current EPIC® POWERLOCK solutions.
EPIC® connector systems can be configured using compatible housings, inserts, contacts and cable glands. This allows machine builders, panel builders and system integrators to select a connection that matches the required voltage, current, number of contacts, cable size and operating environment. EPIC® connectors are used across machinery, control cabinets, robotics, motor connections, manufacturing equipment, industrial Ethernet networks and power distribution systems.
Explore the EPIC® connector types below to find the right solution for your application.
Why Reliable Industrial Connectors Matter
Industrial environments place constant stress on electrical connections, with vibration, dust, moisture, temperature fluctuations, and routine maintenance all affecting connector performance over time. A failed connector can lead to production interruptions, difficult fault finding, and costly downtime, which is why EPIC® connectors are engineered with secure locking systems, durable metal and polymer housings, high-quality contact technology, protection against dust and moisture, and long-term mechanical reliability. For OEMs, machine builders, and maintenance teams, this means fewer connection failures and greater confidence in the performance of critical equipment.
How The EPIC® Modular Connector System Works
One of the key advantages of the EPIC® range is its modular design. Rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach, EPIC® connectors can be configured using compatible housings, inserts, contacts, and accessories. This flexibility allows engineers to create connector solutions tailored to specific power, control, and signal requirements. The range is suitable for a wide variety of industrial applications, including control cabinets, machine building, manufacturing equipment, industrial automation systems, motor connections, power distribution, and process infrastructure. This modular approach also makes future modifications and equipment upgrades much easier.
Which EPIC® Industrial Connector is right for your application?
Rectangular Connectors
Designed for industrial machinery, control cabinets, and automation systems where robust mechanical protection and flexible configuration are essential. EPIC® rectangular connectors can be individually assembled from housings, inserts, and contacts, making them ideal for customised industrial connection solutions.
Circular Connectors
A proven solution for connecting power, signal, and data circuits in industrial automation, machinery, and process applications. The compact cylindrical design provides excellent durability, space efficiency, and reliable performance in demanding operating environments.
RJ45 Ethernet Connectors
Ethernet connectors can be used to create detachable connections in Ethernet networks. The assembly of connectors and cables makes reliable data transmission possible in all industries. In the LAPP portfolio you will find RJ45 connectors in various designs that support the common protocol standards on the market.
Powerlock Connectors
Powerlock connectors are the robust solution for applications with very high currents. They offer maximum safety and easy handling for mobile power supply, ideal for flexible areas of application. They are ideal for electric motors, generators and power distribution.

Faster Installation, Easier Maintenance
Industrial connectors should be reliable, but they should also make maintenance easier. EPIC® connectors are designed for efficient assembly and servicing. Their modular construction and clearly defined connector systems help reduce installation time and simplify replacement when maintenance is required. In many industrial environments, equipment needs to be disconnected for servicing, transport, or replacement. A robust connector system allows machinery to be disconnected quickly and reconnected with confidence, reducing maintenance time and minimising disruption to operations.
Built For Harsh Industrial Environments
Industrial connectors often operate in conditions far more demanding than standard commercial electrical installations. Depending on the configuration, EPIC® connectors are designed to perform reliably in environments exposed to mechanical vibration, dust, moisture, washdown conditions, outdoor weather, industrial processing, and heavy-duty manufacturing, with robust housing designs providing excellent mechanical protection while maintaining reliable electrical performance over long operating periods.
A Complete Industrial Connectivity Solution
EPIC® connectors become even more valuable when combined with LAPP’s broader industrial connectivity range. LAPP designs cables, cable glands, connectors, and connection accessories to work together as a complete system. This compatibility helps simplify specification, improve installation quality, and ensure consistent performance across the entire connection path. For panel builders, machine manufacturers, and system integrators, that means fewer compatibility issues and a more streamlined approach to industrial connectivity.
A Practical Choice For Long-term Reliability
As industrial automation systems become more connected and modular, the reliability of every connection becomes increasingly important. LAPP’s EPIC® connector range combines mechanical strength, environmental protection, and modular flexibility to deliver industrial connection solutions that support easier installation, faster maintenance, and improved operational uptime. For manufacturers, OEMs, system integrators, and maintenance teams, EPIC® connectors provide a dependable heavy-duty connector solution backed by LAPP’s global engineering expertise and local support.
