Conectores hembra de derivación de 2 vías Offgridtec, conector en Y con prolongación de cable (par)

A pair of 2-way branch sockets incl. cable extension with snap-in lock – ideal for connecting solar modules in parallel

• 1 pair of Y-connectors for parallel connection of 2 solar modules
• Total length approx. 34 cm
• Compatible with solar plug connectors

The Offgridtec 2-way branch sockets incl. cable extension (MPN 010337) are compatible with solar plug connectors and are used to connect 2 modules in parallel. In structure they are identical to the 2-way branch sockets, but these branch sockets have a cable extension (article total length approx. 34 cm).

• Important product features
• Branch sockets for parallel connection of multiple solar modules
• Suitable for cables with a cross-section of 4 mm²–6 mm²
• Ideal for 12 V systems and thin-film modules
• Easy-Click system / snap-in lock
• Protection class IP67 when plugged in
• Cable cross-section: 6 mm²
• Maximum current carrying capacity: 45 A

What does parallel connection mean?

In parallel connection, the positive and negative lines are bundled at one output. This connection increases the current and the voltage remains the same.

• Practical example: You want to connect 3 pieces of 100 W (Imp=5.56 A, Vmp=17.8 V) solar modules to a charge controller with 20 A and a max. input voltage of 30 V/DC. To avoid exceeding the permitted input voltage, you must wire the modules in parallel. So positive to positive and negative to negative.

If you now measure the string, under ideal light conditions you should be able to measure the following values: Imp=16.68 A and Vmp=17.8 V. This makes your solar configuration perfectly match the charge controller.
