SOLARLOK Photovoltaic Interconnection System
Tyco Electronics SOLARLOK Interconnection System delivers a flexible solution for easy and reliable interconnections from photovoltaic modules to the DC/AC converter. The entire system concept is based on cost-effective and reliable processing of individual interconnection system components. This significantly reduces installation costs of the solar energy system.
MatiThe design of the male and female receptacle for the junction box and the DC/AC converter follow the cable coupler click philosophy for quick and secure mating even in difficult mounting positions. The Tyco Electronics SOLARLOK product portfolio consists of cable couples, junction boxes, cable, crimping hand tool e.g..
SOLARLOK Cable Couplers
The SOLARLOK male and female cable coupler was designed for high voltage and high current-carrying capacity in addition to the well established IP-67 sealing requirement in the photovoltaic industry.
Mating safety is provided by polarity keyed housings, fully shrouded high cycle life contacts and a squeeze to release connection system. In addition fulfilment of world wide standards for photovoltaic connection systems complement the robust product specification.
