Sowellsolar, a leading innovator in solar energy solutions, is excited to announce the launch of its latest product: the SO-C4L6 Copper-Aluminum Transition Connector. This cutting-edge connector is specifically designed for use in photovoltaic (PV) cable systems, providing a reliable and efficient solution for connecting copper and aluminum conductors in solar power installations. The SO-C4L6 connector is an essential component for optimizing the performance and longevity of solar systems, particularly when working with mixed-metal conductor cables.

With the rising demand for renewable energy, the need for high-quality, reliable, and efficient components in solar power systems has never been greater. Sowellsolar's SO-C4L6 Copper-Aluminum Transition Connector meets these demands, offering superior electrical conductivity, durability, and safety for a wide range of photovoltaic applications.

Key Features of the SO-C4L6 Copper-Aluminum Transition Connector

1. Rated Voltage and Current

The SO-C4L6 connector is engineered to support a rated voltage of 1500V and a rated current of 30A, making it suitable for high-voltage and high-current solar power systems. These ratings ensure that the connector can handle the demanding electrical requirements of modern PV installations, providing safe and efficient power transfer between copper and aluminum cables.

2. Waterproof and Durable Design (IP67)

One of the standout features of the SO-C4L6 is its IP67 protection rating, which signifies that the connector is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand temporary immersion in water. This makes the connector highly suitable for outdoor installations, where exposure to harsh weather conditions, including rain and humidity, is common. The durable design ensures long-term reliability and optimal performance in photovoltaic systems, even in extreme environments.

3. Ideal for Connecting Copper and Aluminum Conductors

The SO-C4L6 Copper-Aluminum Transition Connector is specifically designed to connect 4mm² copper conductor PV cables with 6mm² aluminum or aluminum alloy conductor cables. This capability makes it an ideal solution for installations where mixed-metal cables are used. By ensuring a stable and efficient electrical connection between copper and aluminum, the connector helps prevent potential issues such as corrosion, voltage loss, or performance degradation over time.

4. Easy Installation with Hydraulic Tools

Installation of the SO-C4L6 connector is straightforward and user-friendly. The copper conductor of the PV cable connects to the copper end of the connector, while the aluminum (or aluminum alloy) conductor cable is attached to the aluminum end. For optimal conductivity, a conductive paste should be evenly applied around the aluminum conductor before making the connection. The final connection is secured by using hydraulic tools to compress the connector, ensuring a firm and lasting bond. Once both sides are properly connected, the outer casing of the connector is tightened, completing the installation.

Applications of the SO-C4L6 Connector

The SO-C4L6 Copper-Aluminum Transition Connector is a versatile solution used in a wide range of solar power applications, particularly for connecting copper-based PV cables to aluminum-based cables. This connector is most commonly applied in solar power plants, solar rooftop systems, and energy storage systems, where the efficiency and reliability of cable connections are critical.

The product is also an excellent choice for large-scale commercial solar installations that require the use of both copper and aluminum cables to balance cost and performance. The SO-C4L6 connector optimizes the electrical performance of such mixed cable setups, ensuring that the entire PV system operates smoothly without interference or potential loss of power.

Ideal for Use with PVENER-V4 Cables

The SO-C4L6 connector is fully compatible with PVENER-V4 (PV1500DC-AL) photovoltaic cables, making it an excellent choice for those using this type of cable in their installations. With this compatibility, users can be confident in the performance of the connector and its ability to ensure safe and efficient power transmission.
