MC4-2 SOLAR PANEL MULTI-CONTACT CONNECTORS
EASY AND FAST INSTALLATION OF YOUR SOLAR PANEL WITH MC4-PAIRE CONNECTORS
Today, most solar panels come with approximately 3 ft. of Positive (‘+’) and Negative (‘-‘) wire. One end of each wire is connected to the junction box of the panel. In most solar panels, the other end of each wire is terminated with an MC4 connector. The Positive (‘+’) wire has a Female MC4 Connector and the Negative (‘-‘) wire has a Male MC4 Connector.
To extend the length of the wires of these solar panels for connection to a charge controller, combiner box or grid-connected inverter, an extension wire is required with corresponding Male and Female MC4 Connectors.
QUICK ASSEMBLY
The MC4-PAIRE KIT contains 1 male and 1 female MC4 solar panel connector. This type of connector system is easy to install and uses “snap-in” safety locking tabs to lock two mating connectors, thereby avoiding unintentional disconnection.
Once the connectors locked, the mating contacts are sealed against ingress of dust and water.
CONNECTOR COMPONENTS
The Male and Female MC4 Connectors consist of the following components:
• Outer insulated housing with locking arrangement.
• Tin-plated Copper metallic male & female mating contacts. The wire is placed in the crimping area and crimped with a special crimping tool, such as the PV-FMC4
• Nut & internal rubber bush. When the nut is tightened, the internal rubber bush is compressed around the outer jacket of the cable and thus, provides water-tight sealing.
CABLE GAUGE
The MC4 connectors provided are compatible for use with AWG #10 or AWG #12 wire with outer insulation diameter 3
