1-2213231-1

The 1-2213231-1 by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors represents a breakthrough in Solid State Lighting Connectors - Contacts technology, specifically tailored for renewable energy systems. This robust connector solution combines weatherproof durability with high-current capacity, making it ideal for solar array interconnections. The innovative design features integrated surge protection to safeguard sensitive power electronics.The Cable/Wire to Cable/Wire configuration enables both string-level and array-level connections in photovoltaic installations. This scalable approach simplifies system expansion while maintaining consistent power delivery across all connection points.Utilizing Contact Lock with Sockets technology, this component achieves less than 0.5m contact resistance at rated current. The multi-finger contact design ensures uniform current distribution across all mating surfaces.With 5 contact options available, system designers can optimize conductor utilization while minimizing voltage drop. The parallel contact arrangement reduces joule heating in high-current applications.The Free Hanging (In-Line) design provides exceptional resistance to mechanical stress in outdoor installations. The reinforced mounting flange distributes wind loading forces across the entire connector body.Screw method creates gas-tight connections that resist oxidation in humid environments. This crimp-style termination maintains conductivity through thermal cycling from -40 C to +85 C.Engineered for 14-18 AWG photovoltaic cabling, the contact system accommodates both solid and stranded conductors. The dual-stage strain relief prevents conductor fatigue under thermal expansion stresses.The Tin plating provides exceptional corrosion resistance in coastal environments. The thick gold overlay ensures stable contact resistance over 25-year service life.Fabricated from Copper Alloy, the contacts exhibit excellent stress relaxation characteristics. This copper alloy maintains spring force integrity despite continuous thermal cycling.The Black housing provides high visibility for maintenance personnel while reflecting infrared radiation. The color-stable formulation meets UL 94V-2 flammability requirements.Constructed from Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled, the housing withstands hail impact and other weather extremes. The glass-fiber reinforced compound maintains dimensional stability across the temperature range.Rated for -40°C ~ 85°C, this connector performs reliably in desert and arctic conditions alike. The UV-stabilized materials prevent degradation from prolonged sun exposure.
