Durable Amphenol H4SMM2DMS connector suitable for photovoltaic applications and wide temperature range
Product Overview
The Amphe-PV H4 Plus Panel Mounted Connector from Amphenol Industrial Sustainable Technologies (AIST) is a robust, dual-certified DC connector designed for photovoltaic applications. It offers a 1500V rating compliant with both UL 6703 and IEC 62852 (Class A) standards. As an evolution of the H4 connector, it retains excellent durability, Amphenol-compatible mating, and Amphenol's low resistance RADSOK contact technology. This connector accommodates wire gauges from 14AWG/2.5mm to 8AWG/10mm and features an IP68 rating. It is the ideal choice for PV inverters, combiner boxes, and power conditioners globally. The design meets NEC Code compliance requirements for self-locking without a separate locking sleeve.
