Rated to 1500V DC and 69A, it uses Stäubli's MULTILAM contact technology to keep contact resistance low and stable across long DC runs and high current circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector system\u003c\/strong\u003e, genuine Stäubli MC4-Evo 2, the original MC4 connector family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable size\u003c\/strong\u003e, for 10mm² PV cable (8 AWG)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating\u003c\/strong\u003e, 1500V DC and 69A to IEC 62852, 70A to UL 6703\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable gland\u003c\/strong\u003e, takes 6.4 to 8.4mm cable outer diameter on both halves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e, below 0.2mΩ via MULTILAM contacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtection\u003c\/strong\u003e, IP65 and IP68 (1m, 168h) when mated, for permanent outdoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e10mm² cable is chosen for long DC runs or higher current circuits, where a larger conductor keeps voltage drop and losses down. The connectors at each end need to match: 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 8.4mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA connector carrying 60A or more has little margin for a poor joint. MULTILAM contacts use spring-loaded louvres pressed against the pin at many points, keeping resistance low through years of thermal cycling. The operating range runs from -40°C to +85°C, and the housing is UV and ammonia resistant. It carries TÜV Rheinland certification to IEC 62852 and UL recognition to UL 6703.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuited to long DC cable runs from array to inverter or combiner box, higher current PV circuits requiring 10mm² cable, making up 10mm² extension and home-run leads, and commercial rooftop or ground-mounted PV systems up to 1500V DC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h2\u003e\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\u003ch2\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitting should be carried out by a qualified solar installer or electrician, using the crimping tool specified by Stäubli for the 10mm² contact size. Never connect or disconnect under load, and isolate the DC circuit first. Mate only with connectors from the Stäubli MC4 family. Unmated connectors are IP2X only, so fit sealing caps where a connector is left unmated outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stäubli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67595957371168,"sku":"003110","price":4.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/8148\/1504\/files\/ledandsolar-003110-1.webp?v=1790688524","url":"https:\/\/www.ledandsolar.co.uk\/products\/staubli-mc4-connector-10mm2-pair","provider":"LED \u0026 Solar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
