ELSUN Solar Connector Pack of 10 Solar Connector Wire Connector  (Black, Pack of 1)

A solar connector is a type of electrical connector used to link solar panels together or connect them to other components in a photovoltaic (PV) system, such as inverters, charge controllers, or batteries. These connectors are essential for ensuring efficient, safe, and weather-resistant electrical connections in solar power systems. Common Features of Solar Connectors: Standard Type: The most widely used type is the MC4 connector (Multi-Contact, 4mm), which has become the industry standard for most modern solar panels. Weatherproof: Designed to be UV-resistant, waterproof, and dustproof, typically rated IP67 or IP68. Locking Mechanism: Usually feature a secure locking system to prevent accidental disconnection. Polarity Markings: Clearly marked positive (+) and negative (−) terminals to ensure correct installation. High Voltage and Current Ratings: Typically rated for up to 1000V or 1500V DC and 20A to 30A, depending on the model. Durability: Made from high-quality plastic (e.g., PPO or PC) and tinned copper contacts for long-term outdoor use. Types of Solar Connectors: MC4 Connectors (most common) MC3 Connectors (older generation, mostly obsolete) Tyco Solarlok Connectors Amphenol H4 Connectors Helios H4 and SMK types (less common) Applications: Connecting individual solar panels in a series or parallel configuration. Linking solar panels to combiner boxes, inverters, or charge controllers. Extending solar cable runs in residential, commercial, or off-grid solar systems.
