Kensington Expands Its "Go Green" Philosophy
Kensington Electronics continues to expand its "go green" philosophy by signing on as an official distributor for Amphenol Industrial Operations (AIO). After several meetings with Jon Westig, Director of Sales, and Geoffrey Grace, Director-Energy Market, both Kensington and Amphenol agree that a partnership between the two companies is an ideal way to service the Photovoltaic market.
Kensington has been involved with solar panel manufacturers, installers, and inverter companies for over 10 years, a pioneer in what was an emerging market. Since that time, Kensington has earned a reputation for being a "go to" solution for companies who need connector solutions, custom solar cable assemblies, and junction box builds. Customers have come to rely on Kensington's knowledge of both the industry's needs as well as the raw material suppliers who support it.
Amphenol Industrial Operations has been manufacturing connectors for over 75 years. Amphenol Industrial's use of state-of-the-art CNC machining, die-casting, molding, impact and extruding, plating, screw machining and process controls gives its interconnect systems a high degree of engineering sophistication and precision manufacturing that has made Amphenol Industrial the undisputed leader in harsh environment applications and a world leader in cylindrical connectors.
The company revolutionized the connector industry with its patented RADSOK® technology that allows for 50% more current to pass through the same size cavity, while providing increased reliability, ampacity and cycle durability as well as lower insertion force, T-rise and voltage drop.
Amphenol Industrial Operations' Helios™ H4 Connector is the premiere solar connector in the market today. It carries more amps, has a higher IP rating, and is fully intermatable with the industry standard connector. Additionally, the H4 meets the NEC 2008 standard "as is" with no additional components required. This connector series is currently available in three different gauges: 36A(2.5mm2,AWG14), 45A(4.0mm2,AWG12), 52A(6.0mm2,AWG10).
