Photovoltaic connector MC4 male for 2.5-6mm2 cable, IP68, 1500VDC TUV MAP1006B40

MOREK Brand MC4 Photovoltaic Connectors

MOREK brand MC4 photovoltaic connectors are a key component of PV systems, enabling reliable connections between solar panels and distribution boards or DC/AC inverters. The MAP1006B40 model is a male MC4 connector designed for installation on conductors with cross-sections of 2.5-6mm², compliant with the industry-standard MC4 specification, ensuring compatibility with the majority of available solar panels and system components.

Electrical and Environmental Parameters

The device operates at a rated voltage of 1500V DC, making it suitable for high-voltage photovoltaic installations. The rated current capacity is up to 40A; however, for conductors with smaller cross-sections (2.5-4mm²), the maximum current is 25A, while for larger cross-sections (4-6mm²), it reaches the full value of 40A.

The IP68 protection rating ensures complete dust resistance and protection against temporary immersion in water.

The device dimensions are 20×62×20mm (width×height×depth), providing a compact design that does not occupy excessive space within the installation.

Construction Materials and Safety

Conductive elements are made of galvanized copper, ensuring excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. The galvanization additionally protects against contact oxidation in humid outdoor environments.

The connector housing is made of non-flammable plastic classified as UL94 V0, meaning the material does not propagate flames and self-extinguishes within 10 seconds after the removal of the ignition source.

The "Connector" type construction according to ETIM classification utilizes a spring contact system that maintains constant pressure through spring force.

TUV Certification and Quality Assurance

Morek MAP series photovoltaic connectors possess a TUV certificate - a prestigious homologation confirming the highest standards of quality, safety, and product durability. TUV certification includes rigorous endurance testing and verification of electrical parameters under various environmental conditions.

This certificate provides additional assurance of product reliability during the long-term operation of photovoltaic installations, where connection failures can lead to significant energy losses and costly repairs.

Installation and System Compatibility

The connector is installed directly onto conductors by crimping the connector contact onto the cable strands. The process requires the use of a dedicated MC4 crimping tool and mounting tools for tightening locking nuts and cable glands.

The product is part of the broader MOREK accessory ecosystem, which also includes female counterparts and panel-mount connectors for distribution boards. This system modularity enables the construction of complete PV installations using uniform components from a single manufacturer.

The housing material is halogen-free, eliminating the release of toxic gases in the event of a fire and meeting environmental standards regarding the reduction of harmful emissions.
