1217004-1

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors's 1217004-1 sets the benchmark for Terminals - Magnetic Wire Connectors in renewable energy systems. Designed with UV-resistant polymer housing, this connector withstands decades of outdoor exposure while maintaining stable contact resistance. Its patented sealing technology exceeds IP68 requirements for solar farm and wind turbine applications.The 187 design features quick-connect functionality that reduces field installation time by 50%. Unlike conventional designs, this variant maintains waterproof integrity even during thermal cycling from -40 C to +125 C.Utilizing Box IDC technology, the contacts employ silver-nickel plating that resists sulfide corrosion. When tested in coastal environments, these terminals show less than 5m increase in resistance after 5 years of exposure.Engineered to 5 dimensions, the connector accommodates both power and data transmission in a single housing. The oversized cable entry ports simplify installation of photovoltaic array wiring.Developed for Quick Connect in field applications, the compression contacts require no special tools for installation. This method achieves UL 6703 certification for renewable energy interconnects.Supporting 20-23.5 AWG conductors, the connector handles up to 30A continuous current for solar panel strings. The tapered contact design ensures reliable connections even with aluminum conductors.With QC .187 enhancements, these connectors provide real-time temperature monitoring through integrated sensors. The dual-locking mechanism prevents accidental disconnection in high-wind conditions.
