What is MC4 Solar Connectors?

MC4 solar connectors are weatherproof electrical connectors used to link solar panels together in photovoltaic systems.
They enable secure, reliable connections between solar panels, inverters, and other system components while maintaining safety and efficiency in outdoor environments.
The name “MC4” stands for “Multi-Contact, 4 millimeters.”
The “4mm” refers to the diameter of the metal contact pin inside the connector. This standard sizing ensures universal compatibility across different solar panel brands and manufacturers.
MC4 connectors consist of male and female pairs.
The male connector features a protruding metal pin. The female connector has a corresponding socket. When connected properly, they create a secure, locked connection that resists accidental disconnection.

Professional Manufacturing Process

How to Manufacture MC4 Solar Connectors?

1

Raw Material Preparation

High-grade PPO engineering plastic and tinned copper contacts undergo incoming quality inspection. Materials are tested for electrical properties, temperature resistance, and UV stability before entering production.

2

Precision Injection Molding

Automated injection molding machines create connector housings with 0.01mm tolerance precision. Multi-cavity molds ensure consistent dimensions and surface finish across all units.

3

Contact Assembly & Crimping

Tinned copper contacts are precisely inserted and secured using automated assembly equipment. Crimping force is monitored to ensure optimal electrical connection and pull-out strength.

4

Sealing & Gasket Installation

EPDM rubber gaskets and O-rings are installed using pneumatic presses. Each seal is checked for proper positioning to achieve IP67/IP68 waterproof rating.

5

Automated Testing

Every connector undergoes electrical testing including contact resistance, insulation resistance, and dielectric strength verification. Mechanical pull tests ensure locking mechanism reliability.

6

Quality Control & Packaging

Final inspection checks dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and functionality. Connectors are packaged in anti-static bags with protective caps for safe shipping.

How to Install
MC4 Solar Connectors?

MC4 connectors are integral to the safe and efficient operation of solar panel systems. They facilitate the connection of multiple solar panels, creating strings of panels that are then connected to inverters and other components of the solar power system. The ability to quickly connect and disconnect panels is essential for maintenance and system expansion.
  1. Strip 6-8mm of cable insulation
  2. Insert cable through connector housing
  3. Crimp metal contact onto conductor
  4. Push contact assembly into housing until it clicks
  5. Connect male and female connectors with firm push
  6. Perform pull test to verify secure connection

FAQs

Product & Customization

Q: What is the difference between MC4 and MC3 connectors?

A: MC4 connectors feature an improved locking mechanism, higher current rating (30A vs 20A), and enhanced weather resistance compared to older MC3 connectors. MC4 is the current industry standard.

A: While MC4 connectors have IP67/IP68 ratings for temporary water immersion, they are not designed for permanent underwater use. For marine applications, consider our specialized marine-grade variants.
A: Basic installations require only cable strippers. For professional installations, MC4 crimping tools and spanner wrenches ensure optimal connection quality and easier maintenance.
A: Genuine AGX connectors feature our trademark logo, unique serial numbers, and QR codes for authenticity verification. Always purchase from authorized distributors.
A: AGX MC4 connectors are designed for 25+ year service life under normal outdoor conditions, matching typical solar panel warranties.
A: While the MC4 standard ensures basic compatibility, we recommend using matching connector pairs from the same manufacturer for optimal performance and warranty coverage.
A: Yes, but the system voltage rating is limited by the lowest-rated component. For safety and performance, use consistent voltage ratings throughout the system.
A: Check for proper insertion (audible click), verify polarity, inspect for corrosion or damage, and perform continuity testing. Replace any damaged connectors immediately.
