These products have a proven track record for durability and superior performance in the toughest of indoor environments. The cable assemblies and connector products have been modified and can now be applied outdoors where they can be exposed to water, dust, heat and sunlight.</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;">The initial product offering includes a mix of single- and double-ended cordsets, receptacles, field attachables and accessories from five of the most popular product families: Micro-Change<span class="emoticon" data-url="https://community.element14.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/00ae.svg" title="Registered">&#x00ae;</span>, Ultra-Lock<span class="emoticon" data-url="https://community.element14.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/00ae.svg" title="Registered">&#x00ae;</span>, Mini-Change<span class="emoticon" data-url="https://community.element14.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/00ae.svg" title="Registered">&#x00ae;</span>, BradPower<span class="emoticon" data-url="https://community.element14.com/cfs-file/__key/system/emoji/2122.svg" title="Tm">&#x2122;</span> and DeviceNet*. The primary target market for these products is the solar industry and its numerous applications that combine the need for cost-effective power and signal wiring systems with outdoor applications.</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><strong>Features &amp; Benefits</strong></p><p style="margin:0;"><strong><br /></strong></p><table border="0" cellpadding="3" width="550"><tbody><tr><td style="border:0px solid black;" width="50%">Water and sunlight-resistant cable and over molded material</td><td style="border:0px solid black;" width="50%">Suitable for outdoor use</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#cccccc" style="border:0px solid black;background-color:#cccccc;" width="50%">IP67-rated interfaces</td><td bgcolor="#cccccc" style="border:0px solid black;background-color:#cccccc;" width="50%">Prevent the ingress of dust and water to maintain the integrity of the mating pair</td></tr><tr><td style="border:0px solid black;" width="50%">Gold-plated contacts</td><td style="border:0px solid black;" width="50%">High durability and low contact resistance</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#cccccc" style="border:0px solid black;background-color:#cccccc;" width="50%">Nickel-plated brass hardware</td><td bgcolor="#cccccc" style="border:0px solid black;background-color:#cccccc;" width="50%">Superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments</td></tr><tr><td style="border:0px solid black;" width="50%">Universal IEC connector head design/configurations</td><td style="border:0px solid black;" width="50%">Proven reliable design</td></tr></tbody></table><p style="margin:0;"><strong><br /></strong></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><strong>Applications</strong></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="description" style="border:0px solid black;background-color:#FFFFFF;" valign="top" width="98%"><ul><li><span style="line-height:13px;font-size:10pt;">I/O wiring systems (point-to-point or network signal)</span></li><li><span style="line-height:13px;font-size:10pt;">Collector fluid process variables (I/O) connections</span></li><li><span style="line-height:13px;font-size:10pt;">Motor (power)</span></li><li><span style="line-height:13px;font-size:10pt;">Engine connections (control and power)</span></li><li><span style="line-height:13px;font-size:10pt;">Sensor connections</span></li><li><span style="line-height:13px;font-size:10pt;">CAN Bus network connections</span></li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;"><a href="http://www.molex.com/cmc_upload/0/000/-21/001/solor_apps.jpg"><img loading="lazy" alt="image" src="http://www.molex.com/cmc_upload/0/000/-21/001/solor_apps.jpg" /></a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: connectors, assemblies, renewable, molexrenewable, sp:molex, harrison, solar, brad</div>
