MCH401 Solar Photovoltaic Branch Connector (male and female set) Designed for reliable parallel connections of solar panels, the MCH401 branch connector provides a durable, reusable and waterproof solution for photovoltaic systems. The connector set simplifies wiring for residential and commercial PV arrays while delivering stable electrical performance under a wide range of temperatures. Key benefits Simplifies parallel panel wiring: Allows quick and secure multipoint connections to combine multiple PV strings. Reliable electrical contact: Tinned copper conductors and low contact resistance help maintain efficient current flow at up to 50 A and 1000 V. Durable and reusable: PPO insulation and a flame retardant design protect components against heat and mechanical stress while supporting repeated plug and unplug cycles. Weatherproof and secure: Embedded selflocking system and IP68 rating protect connections from moisture and dust for outdoor installations. Main features Item type: Branch connector, male and female set for parallel PV panels Model: MCH401 Rated voltage: 1000 V DC Rated current: 50 A Insulation material: PPO shell for stable insulation and long service life Conductor material: Copper, tin plated Contact resistance: less than or equal to 0.35 mOhm Connection system: Multipoint connection for reliable contacts Self locking: Embedded selflocking mechanism for secure connections Pullout force: at least 50 N Insertion force: up to 50 N Ambient temperature range: 40 C to +90 C Product temperature resistance: 40 C to +135 C Security level: DCII Waterproof grade: IP68 Flame retardant design: conductor is tin plated for improved fire resistance Weight: approximately 460 g (16.2 oz) Practical applications Residential rooftop systems: Combine multiple solar panels in parallel to increase array output and simplify wiring during installation or upgrades. Commercial and groundmounted arrays: Use on larger PV installations where weatherproof, multipoint connections speed up field wiring and maintenance. Offgrid and portable systems: Handy for DIY or temporary setups where repeated disconnection and reconnection may be needed.
