Safety & Caution
1. The connector must be isolated and disconnected from the power supply during the assembly or disassembly
process.
2. Do not disconnect under load.
3. The mated Amphenol PV connectors are IP68 (under water 1meter for 24 hour) compliant in the function of
sealing. However please prevent connectors from being immersed in water.
4. The product may be assembled and installed only by qualified and trained specialists who observe the applicable
safety regulations.
5. Amphenol declines any liability in the event of failure to comply with this assembly instruction.
6. Connectors not made by Amphenol which can be mated with Amphenol elements and in some cases are also
described as “Amphenol-compatible”do not conform to the requirements for safe electrical connection with
long-term stability, and for safety reasons must not be plugged together with Amphenol elements. Amphenol can
therefore accept no liability for damage which occurs as a result of mating these connectors that lack Amphenol
approval with Amphenol elements.
7. Please be aware that this 3rd Party laboratory test is just a reference for application. It is the customer’s
responsibility to validate connector durability in system function at specific and extreme environment conditions,
we recommend customer to consider a margin in actual applications with high current situations that can lead to
overheating.
8. Amphenol warns customers and users to avoid exposure of chemical substances in the connector application
environment. Chemical compatibility of thermoplastics e.g. Lexan polycarbonate is dependent on contact time,
temperature, concentration and stress (external stress to which the application is subjected to). Chemicals
exposure can result in discoloration, softening, swelling, cracking or loss of properties of the thermoplastics.
DO NOT allow the connectors contact any chemicals including below but not limited as they may cause stress
cracking. Grease, Oils, Mold Release Agent, Binder, Alcohols, Fatty hydrocarbons, Acid, Aromatic hydrocarbon,
Ketones, Halogenated hydrocarbon, Organic solvents including Gasoline, Kerosene, Ethyl acetate and others,
Cleaning agents. Detailed refer to file. See Appendix A or file: WI -S047-ENG (Chemicals Exposure Vheck List).
The list of chemicals provided by Amphenol does not include all chemicals that may appear in the production and
subsequent use of customers. Customers are requested to verify their impact on products and take corresponding
to risk management measures for chemical contamination. Amphenol does not accept any return requests for
products contaminated with chemicals.
