MC4- CONNECTOR
Types, Specifications, Features With Complete Details
MC4 connectors are the electrical devices used to connect solar panels through a single contact. They tie up the connections of a solar system by joining several solar panels or several groups of solar panels together. Here, MC refers to Multi-Contact, and 4 indicates the diameter pin dimension in mm. The high-quality tool with a sealed tip and metal pin is a great way to establish electrical contact between the modules.
Types of MC4 Connectors
You can make your solar system wiring much easier and quicker using the different kinds of solar MC4 connectors. Perfect for outdoor installations, the connectors have become the most preferred choice of electrical inspectors. Based on functionalities, there are two basic types of solar MC4 connectors:
-
MC4 Connectors
-
Branch Connectors
Both types are discussed in detail below.
Specifications of MC4 Connectors
The heavy-duty MC4 connectors provide 1000V/30A current support besides being waterproof and moisture-proof. Other specifications of the device are listed below.
