PNI MC4 Y splice connector set for parallel connection of solar panels, 4-6 mm2 cable
Code: PNI-SOLMC4SPProduct detailed description
To connect two photovoltaic panels in parallel you need a connector with two inputs and one output. That is exactly what this PNI MC4 Y connector set provides. It consists of a double T distributor and a classic MC4 connector, and it is a standard item for professional parallel connection of panels.
MC4 stands for multi-contact with a 4 mm pin. The connectors come in two polarities, positive and negative, commonly described as female and male. For this reason a pair is used for a parallel connection, as shown in the photos.
Use and compatibility
The connectors are made for solar cable with a cross-section of 4 - 6 mm2. The maximum current is 30 A (depending on cable type and ambient temperature according to IEC 60364-5-523) and the maximum system voltage 1000 V. They are rated IP67, protection class II, with an operating range of -40 to +90 degrees C. A snap-in locking system secures the connection.
In a parallel connection the panel currents add up while the voltages do not, so check that the total current stays below 30 A.
