The MC3 tool works great on the Amphenol pins. The MC4 tool definitely will not work

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

HI Rebekah,

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

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,
