Durable photovoltaic connector Amphenol H4SFM4DMS with UL 6703 IEC 62852 dual certification and IP68 rating
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 1500V dual certification to UL 6703 and IEC 62852 (Class A). As an evolution of the H4 connector, it maintains excellent durability, Amphenol-compatible mating, and Amphenols low resistance RADSOK contact technology. This connector accepts 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 worldwide. The design is NEC Code Compliant, requiring a tool for unlocking, eliminating the need for a separate locking sleeve.
