556880-2

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors's 556880-2 redefines Blade Type Power Connectors - Contacts technology for railway traction systems. Designed to withstand extreme mechanical stresses, this heavy-duty contact solution meets EN 50155 standards. The 591AC-CDG's robust construction ensures reliable power transmission in high-speed rail applications.The Non-Gendered configuration provides vibration-resistant connectivity. Hyperboloid contact designs maintain electrical continuity under 5G vibration loads.Incorporating Crimp technology, the contacts resist mechanical fatigue. Bolted connections meet UIC 612 requirements for railway applications.Compatible with 10-12 AWG wiring, the connector serves traction power needs. 350 kcmil contacts are specified for 1,500V DC overhead line systems.Constructed from Copper Alloy, the contacts handle short-circuit currents. Aluminum bronze alloys provide excellent arc resistance for pantograph systems.Protected by Tin plating, the contacts prevent oxidation. Silver-graphite coatings reduce wear in sliding contact applications.Featuring 100.0µin (2.54µm) layer, the contacts endure harsh weather. The 5 m silver plating withstands industrial pollution per IEC 60077.Produced using Stamped methodology, the contacts maintain dimensional stability. Extruded contacts offer optimal grain structure for dynamic loading conditions.
