Leaner Processes and Lower Total Cost of Ownership: The CONPLUG Effect
Modular, safe, automation-ready, and 100% compatible. Meet our future-proof mains connection for household appliances.
For years, our 1-phase connection box KADO 2/3 has served as the benchmark for reliable, high-quality mains connections in appliance manufacturing. Countless OEMs have successfully built their production architecture on this proven foundation.
However, modern industrial manufacturing, especially in the demanding White Goods sector, requires next-level flexibility, Lean Production, automation capability, and modular platform strategies.
That is why we evolved the solid KADO architecture into the next logical innovation leap: CONPLUG – The Modular Appliance Connector. Retaining the established mounting footprint and cutouts of the KADO 2/3, CONPLUG introduces a flexible appliance inlet system designed to optimize your entire value chain.
The CONPLUG Evolution: KADO 2/3 vs. CONPLUG
| Focus Area |
Conventional Products (Pre-Assembled Cords) |
The CONPLUG Evolution |
| Logistics | Complex stocking of multiple product variants with fixed regional power cords. |
Single appliance SKU: Country-specific power cords are added at final stage. → Lean logistics, reduced storage footprint, and minimal working capital.
|
| Production Flow | Attached cords clutter line handling and slow down assembly line speed. |
Cord-free, high-efficiency manufacturing up to End-of-Line (EoL). → Unrestricted accessibility for 100% automated electrical safety testing. |
| Variant Management | Early binding to target market country during initial assembly. | Maximum operational flexibility via Late-Stage Customization at final packaging. |
| Service & Field Repairs | Costly, labor-intensive field service to replace damaged mains leads. | Tool-free, plug-and-play cord replacement in seconds. |
| Termination Tech |
Conventional screw-terminal connectors. |
Screwless spring contacts for high-reliability, rapid wiring. |
| Design & Integration | Conventional design. | Zero redesign effort: 100% backwards-compatible footprint and installation space. |
| Standards & Compliance |
