Alvolta Solar connector. The solar plug connector is designed to accept 4-6mm2 solar cable and is proven technology with high long term stability. Ensure when installing your Alvolta solar panels you are using the Alvolta Connectors.

Alvolta solar connectors are single-contact electrical connectors commonly used for connecting solar panels. The Alvolta Solar connectors allow strings of panels to be easily constructed by pushing the connectors from adjacent panels together by hand, but require a tool to disconnect them to ensure they do not accidentally disconnect when the cables are pulled. The solar and compatible products are universal in the solar market today, equipping almost all solar panels produced since about 2011.

The solar system consists of a plug and socket design. Oddly, the plugs and sockets are placed inside plastic shells that appear to be the opposite gender - the plug is inside a cylindrical shell that looks like a female connector but is referred to as male, and the socket is inside a square probe that looks male but is electrically female. The female connector has two plastic fingers that have to be pressed toward the central probe slightly to insert into holes in the front of the male connector. When the two are pushed together, the fingers slide down the holes until they reach a notch cut into the side of the male connector, where they pop outward to lock the two together.

For a proper seal, Alvolta solar connectors require the usage of a cable with the correct diameter. Normally double-insulated (insulation plus black sheath) and UV resistant (most cables deteriorate if used outdoors without protection from sunlight). Connection is made by use of a special crimping tool, alternatively by soldering.
