5-66084-2

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors's 5-66084-2 establishes new standards in Card Edge Connectors - Contacts for renewable energy systems. This UV-resistant connector withstands 25 years of outdoor exposure while maintaining IP68 sealing performance. Its innovative contact design minimizes power loss in solar array interconnections.The Dummy Contact configuration features a twist-lock mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection in windy conditions. Testing confirms 200% higher retention force compared to standard MC4 connectors in photovoltaic applications.Utilizing Crimp technology, the connector achieves <0.1mV voltage drop per contact at 30A continuous load. The cold-forged termination withstands 1000 thermal cycles from -40 C to +85 C.The Phosphor Bronze formulation combines high conductivity with exceptional corrosion resistance. Salt spray testing demonstrates <2% contact resistance change after 1000 hours of exposure to marine environments.With Tin plating, the contacts maintain stable performance in desert conditions with daily temperature swings of 60 C. The nano-crystalline structure prevents oxidation at elevated temperatures.
