Solar Cables and Connectors
All of our Solar Connectors are thoroughly tested and TUV 1500VDC and UL1000VDC approved. These connectors provide reliable, waterproof and anti-aging features, and are proven to withstand any heavy environmental conditions. Other Solar Connectors typically have a water permeability rating of 66 or 67. Our IP68 rating ensures that our Solar Connectors will hold up in the most severe environmental conditions including sand storms and water submersion up to 3 meters.
Our solar connectors are compatible with any solar connectors in the industry. We have designed our connectors to complement other solar connectors as well as replace them. Whether you’re looking for solar connectors to use with your current ones or searching for solar connectors to start a project, our solar connectors will be right for you.

CUSTOM CONNECTOR PROCESS
CONCEPT DRAWING
Concept drawings are used by our engineers as a quick and simple way of exploring initial ideas for designs.
Manufacturing
We work with you in designing parts or components for ease of manufacturing with the goal of making a better product at a lower cost.
MODELS / GERBER
3D models or Gerber files created based on type of part or product created. This enables detailed inspection prior to tooling and prototypes.
TOOLING/PROTOTYPES
Prototypes and tooling are the final steps prior to production. This ensures feasibility and provides the setup for rapid manufacturing.
PRODUCTION
Once tooling is tested and approved, the final step is to put the part or component into production.
