Set of MC4 Y connectors PNI for parallel connection of solar panels, cable 4–6 mm²
Code: PNI-SOLMC4SPProduct detailed description
If you want to connect two photovoltaic panels in parallel, you need a connector with two inputs and one output. This is exactly what the set of MC4 Y connectors from PNI is. It consists of a double T-connector and a classic MC4 connector and belongs to the standard equipment for professional parallel panel connections.
The designation MC4 means a multi-contact connector with a 4 mm pin. Connectors are available in two variants, positive and negative, commonly referred to as female and male. Therefore, a pair is used for parallel connection, as seen in the photographs.
Usage and compatibility
The connectors are suitable for solar cables with a cross-section of 4 – 6 mm². The current can be up to 30 A (depending on the type of cable and ambient temperature according to IEC 60364-5-523), system voltage up to 1000 V. They have an IP67 protection rating and protection class II, the operating temperature range is −40 to +90 °C. The locking system ensures a reliable connection.
When connecting in parallel, the voltages of the panels do not add up, but the currents do. Therefore, check that the total current does not exceed 30 A.
