2342888-3

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors's 2342888-3 delivers breakthrough performance in Pluggable Connectors for renewable energy systems. Designed specifically for solar power applications, this connector withstands extreme UV exposure while maintaining <0.5% power loss over 25-year service life in photovoltaic array installations.The Cage, Ganged (1 x 3) with Heat Sink design incorporates innovative weatherproofing features. Rotatable housings allow 360 cable orientation without compromising IP67 rating, simplifying installation in large-scale solar farms with complex wiring layouts.As a QSFP-DD (Double Density) leader, this component sets new standards for high-current applications. 30A-rated versions feature temperature-monitoring contacts that trigger shutdown at 85 C, preventing thermal runaway in battery storage systems.Engineered for Through Hole requirements in solar installations, the connector features tool-less assembly. Snap-on versions reduce installation time by 40% compared to threaded alternatives, significantly lowering labor costs in utility-scale projects.The Press-Fit system ensures gas-tight connections in corrosive environments. Silver-plated contacts maintain <2m resistance after 1000 humidity cycles (85 C/85%RH), outperforming standard tin plating in coastal wind turbine applications.EMI Shielded include advanced safety mechanisms. Integrated arc-fault detection circuits interrupt DC currents within 10ms, meeting NEC 690.11 requirements for rapid shutdown in residential solar installations.
