Staubli - MC4 Connector pair, 4-6mm - PV-KBT4/6II-UR
The components of the original MC4 connector system for photovoltaics are designed to allow time-saving and safe serial and parallel wiring of PV modules for building-integrated and free-standing solar installations. Coupler housing (insulator) and contact pin are supplied as a pair.
Features:
- The original MC4 is fully intermateable with the MC4-Evo2 connector family
- Guaranteed intermateability with the MC4 connector family by Multi-Contact and certified by TUV as well as recognized by UL
- International Certifications for 1500 V IEC, 1000 V UL recognized and JET
Compatibility
Staubli MC4 and Staubli MC4-Evo2 are compatible
Safety note
Plug connectors not manufactured by Stäubli are sometimes described by their manufacturers as being “Stäubli compatible” due to their ability to mate with Stäubli connectors. This, however, is not true: by doing so, they do not conform to the requirements for a safe electrical connection with long-term stability. For that reason, we accept no liability if these non-approved connectors are mated with Stäubli original connectors. Stäubli has not recognized any products from third-party suppliers as being plug-compatible with the MC4 family and does not intend to do so in the future. Using unsuitable components or combining plugs from different manufacturers poses significant risks (high failure rates, fire, etc.) and is not permitted under any circumstances. Please note that all certifications are voided when such a plug combination is used. Statements made by TÜV and UL confirm this: TÜV Rheinland LGA Products GmbH, based in Cologne, stresses that compatibility can be confirmed “only for products of the same type family from the same manufacturer” and that the current certificate for the MC4 connector family is based “on positive results of tests on products with corresponding mating parts of the MC4 family.” As there is uncertainty in the case of warranty claims involving combined PV connector pairs from different manufacturers, “the PV installation inspectors are obliged to criticize the use of such combinations.” It is also stated in UL file QIJQ2.E343181 that only “connectors within a product family are approved by UL.” UL clearly distances itself from declaring compatibility of components from different manufacturers due to uncertainty over long-term behavior.
