Will my existing MC 4 crimping tool work with the Amphenol connecter?

The most amazing thing is that the tool is only $100 even on this
site.<br>
Since the parts are interchangeable, then does this tool work for the
MC
as well?<br>

After the MC4 shortage update a few weeks back I started scouting for
parts. <br>
Amphenol showed up as a compatible connector that can mate with MC4 -
apparently Suntech d series modules are switching to Amphenol. <br>
<br>
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)? <br>
<br>
Here's a supplier page:

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