[RE-wrenches] Amphenol Helios as MC4 substitute

[Rebekah Hren]

Hi Wrenches, 
After the MC4 shortage update a few weeks back I started scouting for parts. 
Amphenol showed up as a compatible connector that can mate with MC4 - apparently Suntech d series modules are switching to Amphenol. 


Has anyone used/seen these? What do you think the implications might be for connecting an MC4 to a non MC4 (supposedly these mate perfectly and have been tested to have no higher resistance than MC4 to MC4)? 

Here's a supplier page: http://sg.farnell.com/jsp/level5/module.jsp?moduleId=en/543752.xml

I have a pdf of the announcement from Suntech with more info, can email on request. 
Thanks,
