516-290-500

The 516-290-500 by EDAC Inc. is a breakthrough in Backplane Connectors - Contacts for renewable energy systems. Engineered for photovoltaic inverters and wind turbine controls, this connector delivers unmatched weather resistance and power handling capabilities. Its innovative design ensures stable current transmission even under extreme temperature fluctuations from -40 C to +105 C.Optimized for Signal configurations, this solution features arc-resistant materials that prevent dielectric breakdown at voltages up to 1500V DC. When compared to conventional designs, it reduces power loss by 18% through advanced contact geometry.The Non-Gendered arrangement incorporates self-cleaning contacts that maintain conductivity in dusty environments. Field tests demonstrate 99.9% contact reliability after 25 years of outdoor exposure.Utilizing Solder technology, the connection system achieves UL 6703 certification for photovoltaic applications. The crimp integrity remains stable through 1000 thermal cycles from -40 C to +120 C.Compatible with 18-28 AWG solar cables, the ingress protection meets IP68 standards when mated. The dual-seal design prevents moisture penetration even during prolonged submersion.The Gold plating combines silver and graphene layers for enhanced conductivity. Accelerated aging tests show less than 2% increase in contact resistance after 10,000 hours at 85 C/85% RH.
