10120818-002LF

Amphenol ICC (FCI)'s 10120818-002LF delivers breakthrough performance in Pluggable Connectors for renewable energy systems. Designed specifically for solar power applications, this connector withstands extreme UV exposure while maintaining <0.5% power loss over 25-year service life in photovoltaic array installations.The Receptacle design incorporates innovative weatherproofing features. Rotatable housings allow 360 cable orientation without compromising IP67 rating, simplifying installation in large-scale solar farms with complex wiring layouts.As a SAS leader, this component sets new standards for high-current applications. 30A-rated versions feature temperature-monitoring contacts that trigger shutdown at 85 C, preventing thermal runaway in battery storage systems.With 29 contacts, the connector optimizes power distribution. 4-pole versions support parallel string monitoring with isolated voltage sensing channels, enabling precise performance tracking in smart solar arrays.Engineered for Surface Mount requirements in solar installations, the connector features tool-less assembly. Snap-on versions reduce installation time by 40% compared to threaded alternatives, significantly lowering labor costs in utility-scale projects.The Solder system ensures gas-tight connections in corrosive environments. Silver-plated contacts maintain <2m resistance after 1000 humidity cycles (85 C/85%RH), outperforming standard tin plating in coastal wind turbine applications.Board Guide include advanced safety mechanisms. Integrated arc-fault detection circuits interrupt DC currents within 10ms, meeting NEC 690.11 requirements for rapid shutdown in residential solar installations.Gold selection balances conductivity and durability. Silver-tin alloys demonstrate 30% lower contact resistance than pure silver while maintaining excellent oxidation resistance in desert solar installations.Precision 30.0µin (0.76µm) ensures consistent performance. The 3 m silver plating maintains stable contact resistance through 500 mating cycles - critical for maintenance-free operation in remote power plants.
