Contact resistance and temperature rise are measured and recorded automatically. These parameters help to establish/verify current carrying capacity, and de-rating curves. Test samples are isolated to minimize the influence of external variables such as air movement. Components/assemblies are exposed to cold, heat, moisture, and temperature change. Thermal shock is accomplished with the 2-chamber method. Environmental chambers operate from -70C to +180C enabling simulation of real-world conditions. Slow-motion bending and vibration testing simulates line movements in the wire, stressing the crimped termination. Industrial atmospheres are generated with a gas mixture of SO2, H2S, NO2 and Cl2. 3D X-ray computer tomography provides high resolution three-dimensional non-destructive analysis capability. 2 te.com/solar Dimensions are in inches and millimeters unless otherwise specified.

The Trutnov, Czech Republic facility offers a repeatable manufacturing process which produces a 100% automatically inspected and electrically tested junction box. For quality control purposes, each junction jox is "laser etched" with a unique serial number. Our electrical test equipment has four independent heads to automatically test each connection rail and diode in the popular four rail junction box. Assembly equipment automatically verifies the production of the cable assemblies and attachment to the junction box. The true position of the contact in the mating coupler housing and proper torque of the screw nut are some of the critical process checks made to each unit. A vision system is incorporated into the junction box assembly equipment. Polarization and molded features are inspected by the same vision system to contribute to the production of a quality product and a repeatable manufacturing process. The SOLARLOK product is currently manufactured in Europe, Asia and the USA.

SOLARLOK component cable can be labeled with label PN : 1718077-1. (DO NOT DISCONNECT UNDER LOAD) PROTECT AGAINST SHOCK : Ensure that conductors and their associated connectors are separated from opposite polarity components. IMPORTANT NOTE Mounting and installation must be done by qualified and trained staff considering all applying safety regulations. Failure to follow all instructions in Application Specification 114-18488 (available at www.tycoelectronics.com/documents), including using only approved TE tooling (if applicable), can result in improper installation and/or crimping which is dangerous and may cause or contribute to electrical fires. Should be used only by individuals with proper training and experience. 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 essential. Termination of the Cable Wires and Crimping of the Contacts * SOLARLOK connectors use different crimp contacts for various wire gauges. * Possible wire gauges are 2.5 mm2, 4.0 mm2, and 6.0 mm2, 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 #114-18488. 3.1 Handling When assembling the connectors, the following sequence must be followed: of the Connectors 1 : Stripping the wire to 9 +/- 1mm without damaging the strands (please refer to application specification 114-94061-1) Fig.1 te.com/solar Dimensions are in inches and millimeters unless otherwise specified.

Fig. 2 4 : Push contact with cable into the connector housing (include seal/pinch ring combination and backshell) until you hear the contact is locked into position. To verify contact engagement, give a gentle pull back on the cable to be sure the contact is locked. "CLICK" Fig. 3 5 : Tighten backshell nut to 1.3 +0.2 Nm.

CAUTION : THE "NEUTRAL" DESIGNATED PIN CONNECTORS INCORPORATE NO KEYING FEATURES AND MUST ONLY BE USED FOR SERIAL INTERCONNECTION OF PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES. THE NEUTRAL PRODUCT SHOULD NOT BE USED WHERE MAINTAINING POLARITY IS CRITICAL. 2 : The polarity of the "neutral" connector should be labeled with Part Number : 1394725-1 or 1394725-2. 3 : The connector system is fully latched only when the latches are flush with the mating connectors. After the connector is fully latched, the optional latch locking clip may be snapped, with a click, into place. Fig. 5 (female connector) 3.3 Disconnecting CAUTION : DO NOT DISCONNECTED UNDER LOAD. Disconnect circuit load before unplugging connectors by using approved devices (DC main switch, inverter connector and other devices). Cable assemblies should be labeled with part number : 1394470-1. Fig. 6 1 : The locking mechanism is opened by depressing the latches. 2 : Pull out the connectors. While depressing the latches, disconnect the connector by pulling the connector halves apart. te.com/solar Dimensions are in inches and millimeters unless otherwise specified.
