Applications
Where This Product Is Used
Solar PV Systems
Protection, connectivity and distribution components for photovoltaic arrays, string circuits and related solar DC systems.
UH-PC-MC04 is intended for high-voltage photovoltaic string and array wiring where larger PV conductors or higher connector current capacity are required. The 10 and 16 mm² configurations are particularly relevant to commercial and utility-scale installations, long DC cable runs and higher-current photovoltaic interconnections.
Installation
Installation Guidance
1. Identify the required conductor and contact configuration before preparing the PV cable.
2. Strip the conductor without damaging strands or the cable jacket required for connector sealing.
3. Insert the conductor into the matching 30A, 45A, 50A or 60A crimp contact.
4. Crimp the contact using tooling and dies suitable for the selected conductor cross-section.
5. Insert the terminated contact fully into the corresponding connector housing.
6. Assemble and tighten the cable sealing section so that the PV cable is correctly retained and sealed.
7. Mate the connector halves completely and confirm locking, polarity and conductor retention before energizing the circuit.
Important Notes
Match the contact configuration to the specified PV conductor size before assembly.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What conductor sizes does UH-PC-MC04 support?
UH-PC-MC04 supports 2.5, 4, 6, 10 and 16 mm² photovoltaic conductors, covering connector configurations from 30A up to 60A.
Which configuration is available for 60A applications?
The 60A configuration is available for 10 and 16 mm² PV conductors. Cable and connector sizing should still be coordinated with the electrical design and installation conditions of the complete photovoltaic circuit.
Are silver-plated contacts available?
Yes. Tin-plated copper contacts are supplied as standard, while silver-plated copper contacts are available on request.
Is UH-PC-MC04 suitable for outdoor PV wiring?
The connector is rated IP67 when correctly assembled and fully mated, supporting applicable outdoor photovoltaic cable installations.
Does the 60A rating mean every connected cable can continuously carry 60A?
No. The connector rating and cable ampacity are separate design considerations. Conductor size, cable construction, installation method, ambient temperature and the complete PV circuit requirements must all be considered when determining allowable operating current.
