Molex showcases new SolarSpec products at SolarExpo 2011

“The Molex SolarSpec range addresses the unique requirements of solar applications through the use of proven technology, solar-compliant materials and unmatched reliability in rugged and extreme environments,” says Peter Commane, product manager, Molex. “Our latest addition to the SolarSpec range is a DC Connector that features an innovative internal locking mechanism to prevent accidental or unauthorised decoupling of the connector during service in the field.”

The SolarSpec range includes Junction Boxes for silicon photovoltaic panels, DC connectors for direct connection to junction boxes, field installations and PV grid wiring and complementary cabling assemblies. Other Molex connector and cabling products are used in solar applications such a PV-tracking systems and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) fields. For inverter applications, Molex offers custom interconnect products as well as a wide range of standard, off-the-shelf products. Molex is also a global leader in custom user interfaces, membrane and capacitive switches and flex circuits.

Throughout the exhibition, experts from Molex will be on the stand to demonstrate the new products and to give advice on the benefits that Molex’s SolarSpec technology can provide to solar applications.
