Product Features
- Parallel string connection: Combines two, three or four PV string branches into a single output connection.
- Molded branch construction: Integrates the branch junction into a compact body for improved mechanical stability and cleaner cable routing.
- High-voltage capability: Supports photovoltaic systems with operating voltages up to 1,500 V DC when the selected model and complete connector assembly are rated accordingly.
- Outdoor connection protection: Provides IP68 protection in the fully mated condition, helping resist dust and water ingress in exposed solar installations.
- Flexible conductor options: Available for common PV cable sizes from 2.5 to 10 mm², depending on the selected connector and cable configuration.
- Reduced installation work: Preassembled branch geometry minimizes field splicing and helps shorten installation time.
- Multiple topology options: 2-to-1, 3-to-1 and 4-to-1 designs make it easier to match different module-string and inverter input layouts.
Cable and Connector Structure
|
Component |
Function |
|
Branch connector body |
Molded junction that combines multiple input branches into one output path. |
|
Male and female connector interfaces |
Provide polarized, touch-protected DC connections to matching photovoltaic connectors. |
|
Metal contacts |
Carry the DC current through a low-resistance crimped electrical connection. |
|
Sealing elements |
Protect the connection against dust and moisture when the connectors are correctly assembled and fully mated. |
|
PV cable leads |
Provide flexible routing between the branch body, strings and downstream equipment. |
|
Locking features |
Help prevent accidental separation and maintain a secure mechanical connection. |
Typical Applications
- Residential rooftop arrays: Combines parallel module strings where roof space and cable-routing paths are limited.
- Commercial solar rooftops: Organizes multiple string connections before routing the combined DC circuit toward an inverter or combiner equipment.
- Ground-mounted PV systems: Provides a compact branch point for repeated array blocks and structured field wiring.
- Solar carports: Supports neat cable management where PV conductors must follow beams, columns and enclosed routing paths.
- System extensions and repowering: Adds compatible parallel strings when an existing inverter input and electrical design can accept the additional current.
