1. Product Introduction
This adapter cable is used for solar photovoltaic system connection, provides Male to Female conversion, and integrates 2 S16 connectors, suitable for quick docking of solar panels, controllers, inverters and other equipment.
2. Application scenarios
Solar panel series/parallel expansion
Connect solar controller or inverter
Off-grid/grid-connected photovoltaic system wiring
RV/camping solar power supply system
PV module testing and maintenance
3. Purchase recommendations
1. Confirm current requirements (such as 10A/20A/30A, matching system power)
2. Select the appropriate wire diameter (such as 4mm²/6mm², affecting current carrying capacity)
3. Check the waterproof level (IP67 is suitable for outdoor use, IP68 is more resistant to immersion)
4. Match the connector type (ensure compatibility with existing S16 interfaces)
5. Give priority to UL certified products* (to ensure safety and reliability)
4. Safety precautions
Power-off operation: Make sure the system is powerless before installation to avoid short circuit risks
Avoid overload: Do not exceed the nominal current of the cable (such as 30A Max)
Waterproof check: Make sure the seal is intact after plugging in to prevent water ingress
UV protection: Choose UV-resistant wire for long-term exposure
Regular maintenance: Check for oxidation, looseness or aging
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can S16 and MC4 connectors be mixed?
A: No, a special adapter (S16-MC4 adapter) is required.
Q2: What is the maximum supported voltage?
A: Usually 600V-1000V (depending on the insulation level of the wire).
Q3: Can it be used in wind power generation systems?
A: Yes, but the current/voltage matching needs to be confirmed.
Q4: Does the cable length affect efficiency?
A: Too long will cause voltage drop, and it is recommended to be within 10 meters (the cable loss needs to be calculated).
Q5: How to judge inferior cables?
A: Be careful when buying cables with thin copper core, easily cracked outer skin, or no certification mark.
6. Summary
This adapter cable is a key connection component of the photovoltaic system and is suitable for expanding or modifying solar arrays. When purchasing, pay attention to the current carrying capacity, waterproof level, and compliance certification, and strictly follow safety regulations for installation.
High-quality flame-retardant materials: polymer materials have the advantages of flame retardancy and high temperature resistance; phosphor bronze gold-plated/tin-plated, with the advantages of wear resistance and corrosion resistance. High-tech anti-oxidation technology: improve the anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion capabilities, and maintain the characteristics of the metal surface.
Using thickened oxygen free copper wire core effectively reduces resistance and makes the circuit less prone to overheating. Simultaneously coated with a fireproof layer, it remains safe and durable even in high-temperature and dry environments. Bold thread body, sturdy and resistant to bending, will not break after long-term use.
