helios oveR-molDeD h4 CAble AssemblyOur rugged over-molded H4 cable assemblies are designed for applicationswhere additional durability is required.Available in standard and custom

lengths.

helios PoWeR-linK solAR CAble Designed for maximum efficiency & durability,our high performance double insulated PV cable meets UL4703 and TUV 2 PfG 1169. Fine stranded, tin plated copper conductor, cross-linked high temperature polymer jackets.

helios ARmoR-linK ARmoReDsolAR CAbleOur Armor-Link cable has the same performance characteristics as ourPower-Link cable but with the additionalbenefit of armor for rodent resistance.Designed to meet UL4703 and TUV 2PfG 1169.

helios moDUlAR siliCone JUnCtion boXHermetically sealed over-molded design withfully potted connection window. Designed forfully automated placement and connection.Large heat exchange areas prevent thermal runaway even at the highest ambient temperature.

helios thin-Film JUnCtion boX Space saving, low profile, hermeticallysealed over-molded design. Optimizedfor automated placement and

connection.

helios CUstomiZeD JUnCtion boXWe understand that certain solar installations

require a customized junction box, we will work

with your engineers to design the junction box

necessary for your specific application.

helios h4 Assembly tool setAll tools required to make reliable connections in

the field and in the shop, including crimping tool,

stripping tool, assembly tools and an assortment

of spare connector parts.

sUn mAteOur SUN│MATE series integrates a

junction box & connector system into a

single low cost unit, the system is ultra-

low profile & designed for use in fully

automated production lines.

sURloKIdeal for any power distribution

application that uses high current,

frequently plugged and unplugged

cables or a “plug and play” setup in

busbars, PC boards and cable

assemblies.

C146 seRiesTypically used in power inverter stations in

a solar farm, these connectors offer power,

signal, ethernet, and fiber in any combination

desired.

C16-3 CiRCUlAR ConneCtoRDesigned to meet the high-performance

requirements of harsh-environment industrial

applications. The range includes versions

with screw and crimp terminations. A

selection of crimp contacts for hand crimp

tools and for crimp machines enables a

reliable termination resulting in qualitative,

technical, and economic advantages. A

broad selection of housing styles are

available.

eCo mAteA circular connector featuring easy

operation, reduced dimensions, and a more

robust design to withstand harsh conditions.

The connector’s primary applications are

factory automation, machining, and medical.

The series comprises a large selection of

housings and shapes, as well as models with

screw, solder and crimp termination.

QUiCK mAtePremium solar connector with outstanding

performance. This connector uses

Amphenol’s patented Radsok® technology.

QUICK │ MATE comes assembled as an

over-molded cable assembly and is available

in standard and custom lengths.

GRoUnD mAteWith the new GROUND│MATE series,

Amphenol is able to replace the now used

PE connections, made up of ring terminals

in electrical cabinets, with pluggable

contacts. By using the well-known and field-

proven Radsok® technology in combination

with the click fit locking device, a high-

current carrying capacity is achieved. Owing

to different locking parameters, it is possible

to connect GROUND│MATE contacts with

pins or threads.

AmPhe-litetm ConneCtoR seRiesDesigned for signal, power, RF or fiber optic

interconnect requirements in harsh

environments. The Amphe-Lite™ series

offers the highest performance capabilities

for severe environment applications, yet is

cost-effective enough for general-duty and

non-environmental applications.

Pt heRmetiC ConneCtoRThese miniature cylindrical connectors offer

twice the number of contacts in half the size

of a standard connector. These miniature

bayonet connectors are available in several

series, each with varying design characteris-

tics and customer options to meet cost

considerations and provide maximum design

flexibility. There are two styles within the

family that are MS approval and qualified to

MIL-C-26482 Series 1, as well as several

proprietary styles.

C091 seRiesUsed in automation, test and measurement,

medical, sensors and telecommunications.

Their proven design and performance make

these connectors a recognized industry

standard. They are available with a screw or

bayonet locking system. Receptacles are

available for front or back-panel mounting and

offer a variety of connection possibilities.

m23 & m40 seRiesThe professional standard for motion

control, commonly used for suntracking

motor systems and other motor interface

applications.
