8-165168-1

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors's 8-165168-1 establishes new standards in Terminals - Wire Pin Connectors for renewable energy systems. These UV-resistant connectors are UL 6703 certified for photovoltaic applications and feature unique anti-galvanic corrosion design for offshore wind turbine installations. The tin-plated variants exceed IEC 61238-1 class A requirements.The Circular - 0.071" (1.80mm) Dia specifications are optimized for DC current carrying capacity up to 40A continuous in solar array combiners. The bimetallic design prevents dissimilar metal corrosion in salt spray environments.With 0.390" (9.91mm) pin length, these terminals ensure proper engagement in MC4-compatible connectors while providing sufficient thermal mass to dissipate I R losses in inverter connections.The 0.913" (23.20mm) design includes integrated water drainage channels that prevent moisture accumulation in wind turbine nacelle connections, meeting DNVGL-RP-0360 standards.Rated for 16-22 AWG (0.2~1.6mm²) conductors, these terminals utilize silver-plated copper alloy that maintains conductivity after 2000 thermal cycles from -40 C to +120 C in concentrated solar power applications.Insulated options include double-wall construction that resists abrasion from cable movement in floating solar farm installations.The Crimp process creates oxide-penetrating connections that maintain <5mV voltage drop after 25 years service in desert solar farms, exceeding IEC 62548 requirements.Special Serrated Termination include integrated temperature sensors that feed into SCADA systems for real-time monitoring of connection integrity in renewable energy plants.Red variants use inorganic pigments that resist fading under intense UV exposure, maintaining visible identification throughout the 30-year design life of utility-scale solar projects.
