172755-1

The 172755-1 by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors redefines excellence in Terminal Blocks - Contacts for renewable energy systems. Designed for photovoltaic applications, this contact ensures maximum power transfer efficiency with minimal energy loss. Its innovative architecture meets IEC 62852 standards for DC connector systems in solar arrays.Featuring Socket technology, this solution provides IP68-rated environmental protection while maintaining <0.5m contact resistance. When deployed in solar trackers, it demonstrates 30% better vibration resistance than industry benchmarks.The Crimp system offers UL 6703-certified options including laser-welded joints for permanent connections. Field tests show 50% faster installation times compared to traditional compression terminals in utility-scale solar farms.Optimized for 18-24 AWG solar cables, the contact's tin-plated copper alloy withstands 1500V DC continuous operation. Accelerated aging tests confirm 25-year lifespan under UV exposure per IEC 61215.With Gold surface treatment, the product achieves <2% power loss at 30A current flow. Silver-plated versions exhibit 40% lower oxidation rates in high-temperature inverters.Precision-controlled 30.0µin (0.76µm) ensures consistent performance across temperature cycles from -40 C to +120 C. This critical parameter maintains stable string voltages in photovoltaic systems.
