Offgridtec 4-way branch sockets T-plug solar connector (pair)

A pair of 4-way branch sockets with snap-in locking – ideal for connecting solar modules in parallel

• 1 pair of T-connectors for parallel connection of 4 solar modules
• Ideal for 12V systems and thin-film modules
• Compatible with solar plug connectors

The Offgridtec 4-way branch sockets (MPN 010336) are compatible with solar plug connectors and are used to connect 4 modules in parallel. In terms of construction, they are identical to the 2-way branch sockets, but by using these connectors you can save costs because you can connect 4 modules in parallel instead of 2.

• Important product features
• Branch sockets for parallel connection of multiple solar modules
• Suitable for cables with a cross-section of 4mm²-6mm²
• Snap-in locking
• Protection class IP67
• Max. current carrying capacity: 50 A

What does parallel connection mean?

In parallel connection, the positive and negative cables 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 100W (Imp=5.56A Vmp=17.8V) solar modules to a charge controller with 20A and a maximum input voltage of 30V/DC. To avoid exceeding the allowed 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=16.68A and Vmp=17.8V. This makes your solar configuration perfectly suited to the charge controller.
