TE Connectivity SOLARLOK PV Edge Decentralized Junction Boxes

TE Connectivity’s (TE) SOLARLOK PV Edge Decentralized Junction Boxes use the edge as a relevant position for the mounting without hole drilling. Reliability is increased with no holes in the panels that can cause damage. The flaps (available in different shoulder heights) protect the foils and the user, so it is a pure IEC- and UL-approved 1500V solution. Due to the clamping and non-potted design, the installation is speedy, and no curing time delay applies. TE Connectivity’s SOLARLOK PV Edge Decentralized Junction Boxes are IP68 rated, providing waterproof protection at 1m for 24 hours.
