Knowledge of photovoltaic industry: What is difference in shape and material of solar connectors MC4 and MC3?

One of the more famous early manufacturers of solar connectors was Swiss Multi-contact.

The prospect of new energy products is considerable, so let's take a look at solar photovoltaic connectors.

The first half of the connector "MC" is the abbreviation of this company. The diameters of the connecting hardware of the two main connectors are OD: 4.0mm and OD: 3.0m, so MC4 solar connector and MC3 solar connector It follows.

1. The appearance difference between MC4 solar connector and MC3 solar connector is as follows:

The external dimensions of the MC4 series are much larger than the external dimensions of the MC3 series, which is mainly determined by the structural design. Please refer to our product information

	MC4 PV connector	MC3 PV connector
Product No.	SY-CC4K	SY-CC3A
Rated Voltage	TUV1000V DC/UL 600V DC	TUV 1000V
Rating Current	20A-30A	20A-30A
Suitable cable cross setions	2.5mm2/4.0mm2/6.0mm2	2.5mm2/4.0mm2/6.0mm2
Pin dimension	φ4.0mm	φ3.0mm
Flame Class	UL94V-0	UL94 HB
Protection class	Class II	Class II

2. The difference in texture between MC4 solar connector and MC3 solar connector is as follows:

MC4 solar connectors are mainly made of hard materials such as PPO， PPE， PC, etc.

MC3 solar connectors are mainly made of mixed flexible materials such as TPE/EPTR and other mixed materials
