Junction box saves on cable costs with inbuilt connector
A junction box claimed to save on cable costs has been released by Multi-Contract. The TwinBox is an individual junction box with an inbuilt connector. It's compact design with integrated MC4 connector means cables can be shorter, with consequent savings on cable costs. It also reduces the amount of potting compound needed.
High reliability is achieved by the precise matching of components, potting compound and adhesive pad.
The units have a rated current of 25A, with voltages rated at 1000V/1500V (IEC) and 600V/1000V (UL). Environmental protection is IP65/IP68 when mated and IP2X unmated.
Designed for connecting thin film PV solar panels, the single pole plug and socket units are suitable for automated or manual assembly.
Accessories include sealing caps and an unlocking tool, consisting of a belt pouch with two open-ended metal spanners.
