Simple and Reliable
System Interconnection of
Individual Solar Modules
Right to the DC/AC
Converters
Market expansion of the formerly
regulated energy supply sector,
increased global environmental
awareness and governments
committing themselves to more
stringent environmental targets
have opened up new opportunities
for the photovoltaic industry.
Having served a niche market
in the past, the photovoltaics
industry now has the opportunity
to move into mass production,
realizing economies of scale and
gaining a greater market share
of the world’s energy mix.
Tyco Electronics will be con-
tributing to the establishment of
this environmentally-friendly
technology with the introduction
of its SOLARLOK connector
system.
SOLARLOK delivers a flexible
system solution for easy and
reliable interconnections from
photovoltaic modules to the
DC/AC converter. The entire
system concept is based on cost-
effective and reliable processing
of individual interconnection
system components. This
significantly reduces installation
costs of the solar energy system.
The junction box concept is
based on a flexible, open system
structure, which allows serial as
well as parallel interconnection
via direct wire connect or
separable connectors. Within the
junction box, up to six termina-
tion places rails are available for
photovoltaic foil connection.
The male and female cable
coupler was designed for high
voltage and high current-carrying
capacity in addition to the well-
established IP 67 sealing require-
ment in the photovoltaic industry.
Mating safety is provided by
polarity keyed housings, fully
shrouded contacts, reliable high
cycle life, and squeeze to release
connection system. In addition,
a wide temperature range and ful-
fillment of worldwide standards
for photovoltaic connection
systems complement the robust
product specification.
The design of the male and
female receptacle for the junction
box and the DC/AC converter
follow the cable coupler “click
philosophy” for quick and secure
mating even in difficult mounting
positions.
If required by the customer, the
junction box can be delivered
pre-configured with diodes,
jumpers, plug connectors, and
solar cable pigtails.

1. General Comments Any kind of pollution (dust, oil, humidity, etc.) during the assembly process or to the unmated connector
can degrade contact and connector performance. This applies in particular to the seals and the crimping
of the contacts.
A clean assembly environment is therefore essential.
2. Termination of the SOLARLOK connectors use different crimp contacts for various wire gauges.
Cable Wires and Crimping Possible wire gauges are 2.5 mm2, 4.0 mm2, 5.3 mm2und 6.0 mm2resp.
of the Contacts AWG 14, AWG 12 and AWG 10.
The tools to be used are selected based upon the wire gauge.
For the application specification, please refer to specification # 114-74013.

1The locking mechanism is opened by depressing the latches.
2Pull out the connectors. While depressing the latches,
disconnect the connector by pulling the connector halves apart.
When mating the SOLARLOK connectors, ensure the following:
IConnectors labeled with a plus or minus are keyed and can only be mated to similarly marked and
keyed connectors.
The polarity of the “neutral” connector must labeled with Part No. 1394725-1 or Part No. 1394725-2
nearby the connector.
IThe connector system is fully latched only when the latches are flush with the mating connector.
IAfter the connector is fully latched, the optional latch locking clip may be snapped into place.

At Tyco Electronics, we’re ready to support your RoHS requirements. We’ve assessed more
than 1.5 million end items/components for RoHS compliance, and issued new part numbers
where any change was required to eliminate the restricted materials. Part numbers in this catalog
are identified as:
RoHS Compliant
Part numbers in this catalog are RoHS Compliant, unless marked otherwise.
These products comply with European Union Directive 2002/95/EC as amended 1 January 2006
that restricts the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE in certain
electrical and electronic products sold into the EU as of 1 July 2006.
Note: For purposes of this Catalog, included within the definition of RoHS Compliant are products
that are clearly “Out of Scope” of the RoHS Directive such as hand tools and other non-electrical
accessories.
Non-RoHS Compliant
These part numbers are identified with a “” symbol. These products do not comply with the
material restrictions of the European Union Directive 2002/95/EC.
5 of 6 Compliant
A “” symbol identifies these part numbers. These products do not fully comply with the European
Union Directive 2002/95/EC because they contain lead in solderable interfaces (they do not
contain any of the other five restricted substances above allowable limits). However, these prod-
ucts may be suitable for use in RoHS applications where there is an application-based exception
for lead in solders, such as the server, storage, or networking infrastructure exemption.
Note: Information regarding RoHS compliance is provided based on reasonable inquiry of our
suppliers and represents our current actual knowledge based on the information provided by our
suppliers. This information is subject to change. For latest compliance status, refer to our website
referenced below.
