Rated to 1500V DC and 69A, with Stäubli's MULTILAM contact technology, it gives long DC runs and high current circuits a genuine MC4 termination with consistently low contact resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Stäubli MC4-Evo 2, the original MC4 connector system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor 10mm² PV cable (8 AWG)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated 1500V DC and 69A to IEC 62852, 70A to UL 6703\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable gland for 6.4 to 8.4 mm cable outer diameter on both halves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMULTILAM contact technology with contact resistance below 0.2 mΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP65 and IP68 (1 m, 168 h) when mated, for permanent outdoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating range of -40 °C to +85 °C, UV and ammonia resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTÜV Rheinland certified to IEC 62852 and UL recognised to UL 6703\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10mm² cable is normally chosen for long DC runs, where a larger conductor keeps voltage drop and cable losses down, or for circuits carrying higher currents. The connectors at each end then need to match that cable: the right contact size for the conductor and the right gland for the thicker insulation. Both halves of this pair take cable with an outer diameter of 6.4 to 8.4 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA connector carrying 60A or more has little margin for a poor joint. Any rise in contact resistance becomes heat quickly, and a failed connector on a main DC run can take a whole array offline. MC4 is Stäubli's own connection system, and the MC4-Evo 2 uses MULTILAM contacts, spring-loaded louvres that keep many contact points pressed against the pin, so resistance stays low and stable through years of thermal cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe copper contacts are tin plated, the housing is UL94-V0 rated PA, and the mated connection is rated IP65 and IP68, suitable for outdoor installation under modules, on roofs and on ground-mounted arrays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong DC cable runs from the array to the inverter or combiner box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigher current PV circuits that call for 10mm² cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaking up 10mm² PV extension and home-run leads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial rooftop and ground-mounted PV systems up to 1500V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing damaged or non-original connectors on 10mm² cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Stäubli MC4-Evo 2 female connector (socket) for 10mm² cable, with contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Stäubli MC4-Evo 2 male connector (plug) for 10mm² cable, with contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable and crimping tool are not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation and Safety Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be carried out by a qualified solar installer or electrician. The 10mm² contact needs a crimping tool specified by Stäubli for this contact size; tools made for 2.5 to 6mm² contacts are not suitable. Follow Stäubli assembly instructions MA298, available from staubli.com, and check that your cable outer diameter falls within 6.4 to 8.4 mm so the gland seals correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNever connect or disconnect under load. Isolate the DC circuit with a suitable DC isolator before working on any string. Mate only with connectors from the Stäubli MC4 connector family, as mixing brands is not covered by Stäubli's certification. Unmated connectors are IP2X only, so fit sealing caps to any connector left unmated outdoors. The complete system must use correctly sized cable, suitable overcurrent protection, isolation and surge protection, and comply with BS 7671 and local regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stäubli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61000003780942,"sku":"003110","price":4.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/Staublimc4connectors.jpg?v=1790679090","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/staubli-mc4-evo-2-solar-connector-pair-10mm2","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
