Multi-Contact highlights solar power connectors at Ecobuild
Multi-Contact will be displaying some of its wide range of electrical solar power connectors and junction boxes at this year's Ecobuild sustainable design and construction exhibition. Its original MC3 and MC4 models are market leading plug connectors for linking PV arrays. They snap together to form a highly reliable connection that uses Multilam technology for low contact resistance and long product life. They can be used with cable cross-sections up to 10 mm2.
AlsoDesigned particularly for the automated production of thin film solar modules, Multi-Contact's new TwinBox is a compact PV junction box. Its small size is achieved by integrating the MC4 connection technology within the box, which minimises the amount of potting compound required. In addition, the shorter connections lead to savings in cable costs.
Another junction box being highlighted is the Westlake, which is also MC4 compatible. Its low profile design allows it to be installed directly under the solar module frame, saving installation time by removing the need to bend the connecting ribbons. Additional protection is provided by the projecting cover, which prevents the cables from kinking where they exit the cable sleeves.
Ecobuild takes place at the London ExCel exhibition centre from 20 to 22 March, and Multi-Contact can be found on stand N3256.
