8-55826-3

The 8-55826-3 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors represents a quantum leap in Terminals - Wire Splice Connectors technology for harsh marine environments. This corrosion-resistant solution withstands constant saltwater exposure while maintaining perfect electrical continuity in navigation and propulsion systems.Implementing Butt Splice, Inline, Individual Openings technology, this connector achieves 5000-hour salt spray resistance per ASTM B117. The duplex nickel plating prevents galvanic corrosion in mixed-metal marine installations.With 2 sealed passages, this terminal meets IP69K pressure washing requirements. The triple-seal design prevents moisture ingress even during prolonged submersion at 10m depth.The Crimp process creates cold-welded joints that outperform soldered connections in vibration tests. Accelerated aging shows <2% resistance change after 2000 thermal cycles from -40 C to 105 C.Accepting 10-12 AWG marine-grade tinned cables, this connector prevents strand corrosion in wet locations. The anti-wicking design stops capillary action along wire bundles.Fully Insulated Heat Shrink materials resist hydrolysis and fungal growth per IEC 60068-2-10. Testing confirms dielectric strength >15kV/mm after 5 years simulated tropical exposure.The Yellow housing incorporates UV-stabilized polymers that withstand equatorial solar radiation. Fluorescent markings enhance visibility in engine room emergencies.
