Product Description
MC4 Solar Branch Connector for Photovoltaic Cable Systems
The MC4 Solar Branch Connector is a multi-output photovoltaic cable assembly designed for organizing multiple connector interfaces in solar power systems. The series includes 2-in 4-out, 2-in 6-out, and 2-in 8-out configurations, offering different cable arrangements for PV installation requirements.
Each configuration features a central branch housing, red and black insulated cables, and MC4-type connector ends. The integrated assembly helps organize multiple photovoltaic cable connections within a single branch unit.
The series can be considered for solar panel wiring, photovoltaic cable assemblies, and PV distribution applications. The electrical suitability of each configuration depends on its internal wiring arrangement, rated current, system voltage, and conductor specifications.
Key Features of the MC4 Solar Branch Connector
1. Three Multi-Output Configurations
The MC4 Solar Branch Connector series offers three configuration options to accommodate different connection layouts:
- 2-In 4-Out: A compact branch assembly with four output interfaces.
- 2-In 6-Out: A configuration providing six output interfaces.
- 2-In 8-Out: An extended branch assembly providing eight output interfaces.
These options allow solar equipment manufacturers and installers to select a suitable physical connector arrangement based on their system requirements.
2. Integrated Branch Housing
The connector assembly features a central housing that organizes the incoming and outgoing cable connections.
This structure helps keep multiple PV cables arranged within a defined branch unit, reducing the need for separately positioned connector assemblies in some wiring layouts.
The housing also provides a practical location for organizing the cable branches during installation.
3. Red and Black Cable Identification
The supplied product configurations use red and black insulated cables for visual identification.
This arrangement helps installers distinguish cable groups when preparing photovoltaic electrical connections. Actual polarity and circuit assignment must be verified against the electrical wiring diagram rather than cable color alone.
4. MC4-Type Plug Connections
The cable assemblies feature MC4-type connector interfaces designed for compatible photovoltaic cable connections.
Their plug-in structure allows installers to connect suitable connector halves using the appropriate installation procedures.
Mechanical and electrical mating compatibility must be confirmed before connecting products from different connector series or manufacturers.
5. Multiple PV Wiring Options
The available branch configurations support different physical cable layouts in photovoltaic equipment.
Customers can select a branch connector according to the required number of connection interfaces, cable arrangement, and equipment design.
Before installation, the branch circuit topology, cable current-carrying capacity, connector ratings, and protective requirements must be verified.

FAQ
What configurations are available for this MC4 Solar Branch Connector?
The series includes 2-in 4-out, 2-in 6-out, and 2-in 8-out configurations.
What is the difference between these three configurations?
The main difference is the number of output connector interfaces. Buyers should select the configuration according to the required wiring layout and verified electrical design.
Can these connectors be used for parallel solar panel connections?
They may be considered for suitable PV distribution arrangements. Parallel connection suitability must be confirmed using the actual internal wiring diagram and current ratings.
What are the rated voltage and current?
The supplied images do not establish the model-specific electrical ratings. Contact SOLKV for the corresponding specifications before selection.
Can this connector be connected to other MC4 products?
Only connector halves with verified electrical and mechanical mating compatibility should be connected. Similar appearance does not guarantee compatibility.
