179316-2

The 179316-2 by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 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.The Socket 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 Crimp 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 16-20 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.
