Solar Connectors - Pair of Parallel "Y" Connectors - Type MC4 Male + Female
The pair of MC4 type photovoltaic "Y" connectors allows you to connect two identical photovoltaic fields in parallel in a simple and secure way. Composed of a male end and a female end, this solar connector clips easily without requiring tools disassembly.
Technical characteristics:
- Type: Parallel "Y" connectors
- Protection Rating: IP67 (when connected)
- Supported Voltage: 1000 V DC
- Maximum Current: 30A
- Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
- Cable section: From 4 mm² to 6 mm² maximum
- Contact Resistance: Less than 5 mOhm
- Protection: Flame retardant UL94-V0
- Composition: PPO (Polyphenylene oxide)
Use :
This "Y" connector is specially designed to parallel two identical solar fields on the same solar plane. It is suitable for outdoor use thanks to its weather resistance (IP67). The disconnected connections must be closed with protective caps (PV-BVK4 - 32.0716) to ensure maximum safety.
Application Example:
To illustrate its use, let's take the example of two sets of identical solar panels. Let's assume that each panel has a no-load voltage of 41.2 VDC and an optimum current of 11.7 A. By putting these two sets in parallel using the "Y" connector, the currents are summed, which gives a total current of 23.4 A at a voltage of 123.6 VDC.
Benefits :
- Quick and easy connection without tools
- Compatible with cables with a cross-section between 4 mm² and 6 mm²
- Weather resistant for outdoor use
- Enhanced safety with UL94-V0 flame retardant protection
Directions for Use:
- Be sure to use strictly identical solar panels or fields and on the same solar plane for optimal parallel connection.
- Be sure to close the disconnected connections with protective caps to avoid any risk.
This MC4 type "Y" connector offers a practical and safe solution for paralleling photovoltaic solar installations, thus ensuring optimum performance and long-term reliability.
