696451-1

The 696451-1 by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors revolutionizes Terminals - Knife Connectors solutions for renewable energy systems, crafted for photovoltaic applications demanding weather-resistant connectivity. Its proprietary contact design ensures <0.2 contact resistance even after 2000 thermal cycles from -40 C to 85 C.With 0.883" (22.43mm) sizing options, these connectors accommodate varying panel thicknesses in solar farm installations. The marine-grade aluminum housing provides superior corrosion resistance in coastal environments.Precision-engineered 0.203" (5.16mm) dimensions enable compact string combiner box designs. The anti-racking housing prevents misalignment during field maintenance operations.Compatible with 16-22 AWG cabling, the terminal meets IEC 62852 standards for DC connection systems. The oxidation-resistant plating maintains stable conductivity under 1000V DC continuous load.Available in Insulated configurations, the connector offers either full environmental sealing or ventilation-optimized designs. The IP68-rated versions feature dual-layer silicone protection against UV degradation.The Red coding system aligns with IEC 60445 safety standards for photovoltaic installations. Each pigment incorporates infrared-reflective properties to reduce heat absorption in direct sunlight.
