MC4 & Solar PV Connectors
MC4 Solar Connectors connect compatible PV cables using an identified plug/socket and contact system.
Product-type reference. The supplied make and configuration are confirmed in your quotation.
MC4 and solar PV connectors for identified systems
Tirupati Power Enterprises sources solar PV connection products against specified manufacturer and product-family references. Send the existing module or equipment connector identity, cable details and required connector quantities so the proposed system can be checked.
MC4 is a Stäubli product name; similar-looking connectors from other suppliers should be identified by their own manufacturer and series. Do not approve a cross-brand mating combination merely because it is advertised as compatible or physically clicks together.
Information to include in your RFQ
Selection requirements for this product type |
|---|
Exact connector manufacturer and product family |
PV cable size and outside diameter |
Voltage/current and installation conditions |
Approved stripping/crimp tools and assembly instructions |
Replacement and quotation checks
For a replacement, send the existing MC4 & solar PV connectors reference and photographs of its markings, connections and mounting. Include the equipment drawing or datasheet where available. Identify which functions must remain unchanged and whether an alternative make is acceptable.

Compare prices for the same supply scope
MC4 connector prices depend on manufacturer family, connector form, cable range and supplied contents. Compare matched systems and the same unit: one housing, a complete connector half, a pair and a finished lead are different supplies. Include the correct contacts, seals and tooling where required. Avoid a substitution that loses the approved mating identity.

Questions about MC4 & Solar PV Connectors
What should I check before selecting MC4 & solar PV connectors?
MC4 is a Stäubli product family. Do not cross-mate different manufacturers' connectors merely because they are described as compatible; verify the approved mating pair.
What information is needed to quote MC4 & solar PV connectors?
Provide exact connector manufacturer and product family; PV cable size and outside diameter; voltage/current and installation conditions; approved stripping/crimp tools and assembly instructions. Include the quantity, requested make or existing reference and delivery PIN code.
Is MC4 a generic name for every solar connector?
MC4 is a Stäubli product name. For procurement, identify the actual manufacturer, series and mating references of every proposed connector.
Can different brands be joined if they physically fit?
Do not approve cross-mating from appearance or a seller’s compatibility wording. Use the exact mating combination permitted by the connector manufacturer and project requirements.
What information is needed for an MC4 connector price?
Manufacturer/family, mating reference, cable cross-section and diameter, electrical duty, connector form and quantity are needed. State whether the unit is a half, pair or assembled lead.
Does one crimp tool suit every PV connector contact?
Use the specified tool and die system for the selected connector/contact and cable. A similar-looking terminal can require a different approved assembly method.
Are contacts and seals always included with connector housings?
Confirm the supplied bill of materials. The quotation should identify housings, contacts, seals and any assembly accessories rather than assuming a housing-only offer is complete.
