Substantial energy losses within photovoltaic plants are now a thing of the past since Lapp Kabel developed the innovative new EPIC SOLAR 4 Thin solar connector. With a contact resistance of less than 0,2 mW, the device substantially increases the efficiency on a solar plant.

The 4 mm connector system with twin engagement hooks allows photovoltaic modules to be connected together rapidly and securely. Furthermore, the patented contact system prevents significant increases in temperature due to current, thus greatly reducing the ageing process on the connector. The specified temperature range is from -40 to +105°C and the strain relief values are also extremely high.

As an additional security feature, the connector comes equipped with a tailored pull-out order thanks to special welded connections. The new connectors have also successfully passed inspection by the TÜV Rheinland (EN 50521) for connectors in photovoltaic systems.
