What Is a Solar Connector?
A Solar Connector is a specialized connector designed for solar power generation. It is primarily used for connecting solar modules when extending distances between them.
Solar Connectors are intended for outdoor use, demanding high safety, waterproofing, dustproofing, and resistance to aging.
Common types of Solar Connectors include MC3, MC4, and PV, with MC4 being the most widely used. Similar to the previous generation MC3, the MC4 connector features male and female plugs for single-point connection, but with improved waterproofing and locking performance. This design reduces the likelihood of unintended disconnection. Inside the MC4 terminal, a waterproof seal is included to cover the cable, preventing water infiltration.
