Product Features of 1500v solar connector

The PV-EK04 1500v solar connector combines high voltage capability with a compact, tool-friendly snap-in design:

1500V DC rating: built for high-voltage PV strings, with a 6 kV (50 Hz, 1 min) test voltage.
30A and 45A current options: 30A for 2.5, 4 and 6 mm² (14, 12, 10 AWG); 45A for 4 and 6 mm² (12, 10 AWG).
IP67 when mated: sealed against dust and water immersion; IP2X when unmated.
Low contact resistance: 5 mΩ on the plug connectors for minimal power loss and heat.
Snap-in locking system: fast, secure assembly in the field.
Flame-retardant PC/PPO insulation: UL-94-V0 flame class and Safety Class II.
Wide temperature range: -40°C to +90°C (IEC) / -40°C to +194°F (UL), with an upper limiting temperature of +105°C (IEC).
Corrosion resistant: tin-plated copper alloy (brass) contacts; salt mist spray test, severity 5 (IEC 60068-2-52).

Metal crimp contacts (30A and 45A versions) – tin-plated copper alloy

Commercial Applications 1500v solar connector

A 1500v solar connector lets designers use longer strings with fewer cables and combiner boxes, which lowers balance-of-system cost on large installations. The PV-EK04 is a solar panel dc connector suited to commercial and utility-scale projects where reliability and safety are priorities.

Applications & Use Cases

Utility-scale solar farms: module-to-module and string wiring in 1500V DC systems.
Commercial and industrial rooftops: PV array interconnection on warehouses, factories, and commercial buildings.
Ground-mount and tracker systems: outdoor cabling exposed to UV, rain, dust, and temperature swings.
Combiner boxes and inverters: string input and output connections for central and string inverters.
Energy storage and hybrid systems: DC-side wiring for solar-plus-storage projects.

Related use: it works as a dc solar connector for extension cables, jumper leads, and pre-assembled harnesses.

Wiring guide

Select the cable: match the contact to the conductor size – 30A for 2.5/4/6 mm² (14–10 AWG), 45A for 4/6 mm² (12–10 AWG).
Strip and crimp: strip the insulation and crimp the contact onto the conductor with a suitable PV crimping tool.
Assemble: push the contact into the housing until the snap-in lock engages, then tighten the cable gland.
Mate: join the male and female connectors until fully locked to achieve IP67 protection.

Follow the installation instructions of the cable and tool manufacturers and local electrical codes.
