Photovoltaic Solar Connectors

Elmex Controls Pvt Ltd/Elmex Electric Pvt Ltd offers Photovoltaic Solar Connectors, EMPV4. These are a type of single contact connector commonly used for connecting photovoltaic panels. While small solar panels, commonly used for battery charging, may not require special connectors, larger terrestrial arrays for power generation involve higher currents and voltages and place special demands on both cables and connectors for safe operation. The EMPV4 connectors incorporate a flexible watertight seal and are supplied as ‘male (plug) and female (socket)’ types to minimise the chance of wrong connections. For proper seal, they require usage with the correct diameter cable, normally double-insulated (insulation plus black sheath) and UV protection (as UV rays tend to damage the connection). Connection is made by use of a special crimping tool, although they may be soldered.
