1742474-1

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors's 1742474-1 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.Utilizing Tab Terminal 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.Developed for Tab in field applications, the compression contacts require no special tools for installation. This method achieves UL 6703 certification for renewable energy interconnects.Supporting 16.5-18.5 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.
