Standard PV Cable Connectors FAQ
Product questions
Find answers about fit, wiring and product differences.
Standard PV Cable Connectors
01Can connectors from different manufacturers be mated?
Use combinations approved by the connector manufacturer. Similar appearance and matching nominal ratings do not establish mating compatibility.
02Why are both conductor size and cable diameter needed?
The contact must fit the conductor cross-section. The seal must fit the outside of the insulated cable. Choosing one value does not establish the other.
PV-01 Cable Connector
PV-01 Cable Connector
01How does PV-01 differ from PV-03?
PV-01 has a 1000 V DC specification and cable options up to 6 mm². PV-03 has a 1500 V DC specification and also includes a 10 mm² cable option.
02When does the PV-01 IP67 rating apply?
IP67 applies when the connector is fully mated and assembled with the correct cable seal. The unmated specification is IP2X.
03Which conductor sizes fit PV-01?
The conductor options are 1.5, 2.5, 4 and 6 mm², rated at 17, 22, 30 and 30 A respectively. Match the cable outside diameter to the seal as well.
PV-02 Grip-Body Cable Connector
PV-02 Grip-Body Cable Connector
01Does the grip housing change the electrical rating?
The PV-02 specification remains 1000 V DC and 30 A. The grip is a housing feature, not an increase in current or voltage rating.
02When does the PV-02 IP67 rating apply?
IP67 applies when the connector is fully mated and assembled with the correct cable seal. The unmated specification is IP2X.
03Which conductor sizes fit PV-02?
The conductor configurations are 2.5, 4 and 6 mm². The cable jacket must also fit the seal; conductor area and cable outside diameter are separate dimensions.
PV-03 1500 V Solar Cable Connector
PV-03 1500 V Solar Cable Connector
01Does fitting a 10 mm² cable increase PV-03 to 50 A?
No. PV-03 is specified at 30 A. PV-03-1 is the separate 50 A model with a 10 mm² cable configuration.
02When does the PV-03 IP67 rating apply?
IP67 applies when the connector is fully mated and assembled with the correct cable seal. The unmated specification is IP2X.
03Which conductor sizes fit PV-03?
The conductor configurations are 2.5, 4, 6 and 10 mm². The cable jacket must also fit the seal; conductor area and cable outside diameter are separate dimensions.
PV-03-1 50 A Solar Cable Connector
PV-03-1 50 A Solar Cable Connector
01Is PV-03-1 just PV-03 fitted to a larger cable?
No. PV-03-1 is a distinct 50 A model. PV-03 is rated at 30 A even though it also has a 10 mm² cable option.
02When does the PV-03-1 IP67 rating apply?
IP67 applies when the connector is fully mated and assembled with the correct cable seal. The unmated specification is IP2X.
03Which conductor sizes fit PV-03-1?
The conductor configurations are 10 mm². The cable jacket must also fit the seal; conductor area and cable outside diameter are separate dimensions.
PV-04 Compact Solar Cable Connector
PV-04 Compact Solar Cable Connector
01Does PV-04 need a panel cutout?
No. PV-04 is a cable connector. PV-05 is the separate panel-mount model.
02When does the PV-04 IP67 rating apply?
IP67 applies when the connector is fully mated and assembled with the correct cable seal. The unmated specification is IP2X.
03Which conductor sizes fit PV-04?
The conductor configurations are 2.5, 4 and 6 mm². The cable jacket must also fit the seal; conductor area and cable outside diameter are separate dimensions.
PV-05 Panel-Mount Solar Connector
PV-05 Panel-Mount Solar Connector
01Can PV-05 replace a cable gland?
They serve different functions. PV-05 creates a separable electrical connection at the panel; a cable gland secures and seals a cable passing through the wall.
02When does the PV-05 IP67 rating apply?
IP67 applies when the connector is fully mated and assembled with the correct cable seal. The unmated specification is IP2X.
03Which conductor sizes fit PV-05?

PV-07 Tool-Free Solar Cable Connector
PV-07 Tool-Free Solar Cable Connector
01Does tool-free assembly mean cable preparation is unnecessary?
No. The conductor and cable jacket still need the preparation required by the PV-07 terminal and seal. Tool-free describes the connection mechanism.
02When does the PV-07 IP67 rating apply?
IP67 applies when the connector is fully mated and assembled with the correct cable seal. The unmated specification is IP2X.
03Which conductor sizes fit PV-07?
