Quick clarification in terminology-
MPPT is not a connector, it's a more efficient alternative to this PWM-implemented hardware unit. It stands for "Maximum Power Point Tracking", which is fancy to say that it ensures maximum power conversion (efficiency) across full range of panel's output (even when the panels are outputting less voltage).
The connectors you might be referring to are MC4 (MC-4) family of _non-standard PV connectors. Even if carrying less than 10 amps, try not to end up with a really bad mis-match:

I would go with all Stäubli branded or all Amphenol (Helios H4).
Edit: Yes, the store has multiple models, where the 40A and 60A claim to be MPPT type.
Note that in order for MPPT to achieve better efficiencies over PWM, the circuit is a lot more complex, so the need for reliable, quality components/construction, up-to-date algorithms to control the DC-DC converter - makes it tough to buy just-any un-tested brand/model.
