71240-820CALF

Amphenol ICC (FCI)'s 71240-820CALF redefines power connectivity in Memory Connectors - PC Card Sockets, engineered for high-current renewable energy systems. This robust connector solution withstands extreme environmental conditions while maintaining low contact resistance for solar and wind power applications.Compatible with PCMCIA - Type I, II, III standards, the connector supports both AC and DC power distribution. Its dual-material housing provides UV resistance for 25+ year outdoor service life.The 68, 68 configuration has been optimized for parallel power connections. The innovative contact arrangement reduces thermal hot spots by 40% compared to conventional designs.The Connector and Ejector design features IP68 protection when mated, withstanding complete water immersion. The corrosion-resistant materials meet IEC 62852 standards for photovoltaic connectors.With Push In, Push Out operation, the connector enables safe high-voltage disconnection. The arc-quenching design meets UL 6703 requirements for photovoltaic system safety.The Left safety release mechanism prevents accidental disconnection. The dual-stage operation requires deliberate action for high-voltage disengagement.The Card Edge Header variant includes integrated temperature monitoring capabilities. Built-in sensors provide real-time thermal data for predictive maintenance in power plants.The Card Guides include 1000V DC rating with flame-retardant housing (UL94 V-0). The contact system maintains less than 0.35m resistance at 30A continuous current.The 0.315" (8.00mm) compact design facilitates installation in tight junction boxes. The low-profile form factor doesn't compromise on cable bend radius requirements.Available in Reverse - Bottom configurations, the connector supports both rail and direct panel mounting. The quick-connect terminals reduce installation time by 50% compared to screw terminals.The Gold plating has been validated for 10,000 mating cycles in sandy environments. This durable surface treatment prevents abrasive wear in desert installations.With 30.0µin (0.76µm) silver plating, the contacts achieve optimal conductivity for high-current applications. The plating thickness is precisely controlled to balance cost and performance.
