The \u003cstrong\u003eStäubli MC4 Evo 2 10mm² Solar Connector Pair\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers an exceptional standard of performance, designed for the higher current demands of modern solar installations. Suitable for \u003cstrong\u003e10mm² \/ 8 AWG solar cable\u003c\/strong\u003e, these genuine \u003cstrong\u003eStäubli MC4 connectors\u003c\/strong\u003e are rated for up to 1500V DC and are an excellent choice for commercial, residential and high-current off-grid solar systems. Using genuine Stäubli connectors helps minimise connection losses and reduces the risk of overheating and DC connection failures associated with inferior or incompatible connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced MULTILAM Contact Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of the \u003cstrong\u003eMC4 Evo 2 connector\u003c\/strong\u003e is Stäubli's proprietary MULTILAM contact technology. This proven contact system maintains reliable electrical contact between mating surfaces, resulting in exceptionally low contact resistance of less than 0.2 mΩ. This minimises power loss and heat generation, providing excellent electrical and thermal performance over the service life of the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEngineered for Harsh Australian Environments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolar installations are frequently exposed to demanding environmental conditions. The \u003cstrong\u003eMC4 Evo 2\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed for use in harsh environments, with UV-resistant construction and an \u003cstrong\u003eIP65\/IP68 ingress protection rating when mated\u003c\/strong\u003e. The connector system is also tested for ammonia resistance and salt-mist environments, making it well suited to exposed, coastal and agricultural solar installations. The high-grade polyamide (PA) insulation material also meets the stringent UL94-V0 flammability classification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned Specifically for 10mm² \/ 8 AWG Solar Cable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eMC4 Evo 2A\/10II connector pair\u003c\/strong\u003e is specifically designed for \u003cstrong\u003e10mm² photovoltaic cable\u003c\/strong\u003e, approximately equivalent to \u003cstrong\u003e8 AWG\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \/10II version accepts cables with an \u003cstrong\u003eouter diameter of 6.4mm to 8.4mm\u003c\/strong\u003e and uses a 6.5mm crimp opening. Under IEC 62852, the connector is rated to \u003cstrong\u003e69A at 1500V DC\u003c\/strong\u003e with 10mm² cable, while the corresponding UL 6703 rating is \u003cstrong\u003e70A at 1500V DC for 8 AWG cable\u003c\/strong\u003e. The crimp termination provides a secure, low-resistance electrical and mechanical connection when assembled using suitable tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReducing Installation Risks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing generic, incompatible or mismatched connectors in a photovoltaic installation can increase contact resistance and create potential hot spots or DC arc faults. By using genuine \u003cstrong\u003eStäubli MC4 Evo 2\u003c\/strong\u003e components, installers can maintain compatibility within the Stäubli MC4 connector family and achieve a secure, weather-resistant connection. Correct crimping and assembly are essential to achieving the connector's specified electrical and environmental performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10mm² \/ 8 AWG:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specifically designed for high-current photovoltaic cabling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1500V DC Rated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for modern residential, commercial and utility-scale PV systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 69A IEC Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rated at 69A with 10mm² cable under IEC 62852.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e70A UL Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rated at 70A with 8 AWG cable under UL 6703.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMULTILAM Contacts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides consistently low contact resistance of less than 0.2 mΩ.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP65\/IP68 Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e High level of dust and water protection when correctly assembled and mated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarsh Environment Ready:\u003c\/strong\u003e UV resistant and tested for ammonia and salt-mist environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suits 10mm² \/ 8 AWG PV cable with a 6.4-8.4mm outer diameter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternational Certifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e MC4 Evo 2 is certified to applicable IEC, TÜV, UL and JET requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGenuine Stäubli MC4 Evo 2A\/10II\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector pair consists of the genuine Stäubli \u003cstrong\u003ePV-KBT4-EVO 2A\/10II\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePV-KST4-EVO 2A\/10II\u003c\/strong\u003e cable couplers, designed specifically for 10mm² photovoltaic cable.
