Mechanical, Environmental and Electrical Testing Capabilities
Force-deflection curves are generated to verify that
spring contact properties meet design criteria.
Contact resistance and temperature rise are measured
and recorded automatically. These parameters help to
establish/verify current carrying capacity, and de-rating
curves. Test samples are isolated to minimize the
influence of external variables such as air movement.
Components/assemblies are exposed to cold, heat,
moisture, and temperature change. Thermal shock
is accomplished with the 2-chamber method.
Environmental chambers operate from -70°C to +180°C
enabling simulation of real-world conditions.
Slow-motion bending and vibration testing simulates
line movements in the wire, stressing the crimped
termination. Industrial atmospheres are generated
with a gas mixture of SO2, H2S, NO2 and Cl2.
3D X-ray computer tomography provides high
resolution three-dimensional non-destructive
analysis capability.

Manufacturing Capabilities
TE manufactures the
SOLARLOK product
line on state of the
art manufacturing
equipment.
The Trutnov, Czech Republic facility offers a repeatable manufacturing process which
produces a 100% automatically inspected and electrically tested junction box. For quality
control purposes, each junction jox is “laser etched” with a unique serial number.
Our electrical test equipment has four independent heads to automatically test each
connection rail and diode in the popular four rail junction box. Assembly equipment
automatically verifies the production of the cable assemblies and attachment to the junction
box. The true position of the contact in the mating coupler housing and proper torque of
the screw nut are some of the critical process checks made to each unit. A vision system
is incorporated into the junction box assembly equipment. Polarization and molded
features are inspected by the same vision system to contribute to the production of
a quality product and a repeatable manufacturing process.
The SOLARLOK product is currently manufactured in Europe, Asia and the USA.

HM : High tack metallized polyester labels
(for indoor and outdoor applications)
HM is a thermal transfer printable metalized polyester film with a high tack permanent acrylic
adhesive. The labels are designed for application to rough surfaces or where increased adhesion
is required. The high tack adhesion of HM will bond to most demanding surfaces, including
textured and contoured surfaces.

Voltage Rating
(as per TÜV requirement
600/1000 VAC, 1800 V DC)
: 1800/3000 VAC
: 2600 VDC
As part of expanding the SOLARLOK product line, Tyco Electronics produces wire that is
designed to meet the harsh environmental conditions typical of photovoltaic installations.
The flexible, dual wall, halogen free and cross linked solar wire offers long term stability with
Wire Size Range
: 2.5 mm2 (AWG 14)
: 4.0 mm2 (AWG 12)
: 6.0 mm2 (AWG 10)
TÜV UL approval. Its outstanding features include: high resistance against environmental
conditions such as humidity, UV-radiation and ozone. In addition, it has excellent resistance to
abrasion and temperature extremes. The wire has a high dielectric withstanding voltage and due
to its fine-stranded, tin plated copper conductor, it is easy to handle, bend, route, and to strip.

The SOLARLOK combiner box assembly is used to combine up to five strings in a
preterminated connectorized weather-resistant enclosure to meet National Electric Code
(NEC) requirements for series fusing of photovoltaic (PV) modules (solar panels).
The combiner box assembly consists of a box, cover (with hinges), transparent dead front
lid (under the cover), and 10 pre-terminated SOLARLOK connectors each with a removable
dust cover. The box features 4 knockouts (for output wiring), lock tab, mounting slots and
pre-wired grounding bolt.
The interior of the box holds 5 holder fuse blocks pre-wired to the positive SOLARLOK
connectors, 5 terminal blocks pre-wired to the negative SOLARLOK connectors, and an
equipment terminal block used to ground the equipment. Fuses are not included.

SOLARLOK Connectivity Systems for PV Solutions
Assembly and Installation Guidelines
SOLARLOK plug connectors
ATTENTION : This connector is to be used only to interconnect firmly fixed cables
DO NOT DISCONNECT UNDER LOAD : Current path should only be disconnected
using approved disconnect devices.
SOLARLOK component cable can be labeled with label PN : 1718077-1.
(DO NOT DISCONNECT UNDER LOAD)
PROTECT AGAINST SHOCK : Ensure that conductors and their associated
connectors are separated from opposite polarity components.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Mounting and installation must be done by qualified and trained staff considering
all applying safety regulations. Failure to follow all instructions in Application
Specification 114-18488 (available at www.tycoelectronics.com/documents), including
using only approved TE tooling (if applicable), can result in improper installation
and/or crimping which is dangerous and may cause or contribute to electrical fires.
Should be used only by individuals with proper training and experience.
General Comments
Any kind of pollution (dust, oil, humidity, etc.) during the assembly process or to the unmated
connector can degrade contact and connector performance. This applies in particular to the
seals and the crimping of the contacts. A clean assembly environment is essential.
Termination of the Cable
Wires and Crimping of
the Contacts
• SOLARLOK connectors use different crimp contacts for various wire gauges.
• Possible wire gauges are 2.5 mm2, 4.0 mm2, and 6.0 mm2, AWG 14, AWG 12 and AWG 10.
• The tools to be used are selected based upon the wire gauge.
• For the application specification, please refer to specification #114-18488.
3.1 Handling
When assembling the connectors, the following sequence must be followed:
of the Connectors
1 : Stripping the wire to 9 +/- 1mm without damaging the strands
(please refer to application specification 114-94061-1)

3.1 Handling of the
Connectors (continued)
2 : Insert the stripped wire into the wire crimp barrel until it stops.
3 : While holding the wire in place, squeeze tool handles together until ratchet releases.
Fig. 2
4 : Push contact with cable into the connector housing (include seal/pinch ring
combination and backshell) until you hear the contact is locked into position.
To verify contact engagement, give a gentle pull back on the cable to be sure
the contact is locked.

Assembly and Installation Guidelines (continued)
3.2 Connector Latching
When mating the SOLARLOK connectors, ensure the following:
1 : Connectors labeled with a plus or minus are keyed and can only be mated to
similarly marked and keyed connectors.
CAUTION : THE “NEUTRAL” DESIGNATED PIN CONNECTORS INCORPORATE
NO KEYING FEATURES AND MUST ONLY BE USED FOR SERIAL INTERCONNECTION
OF PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES. THE NEUTRAL PRODUCT SHOULD NOT BE USED
WHERE MAINTAINING POLARITY IS CRITICAL.
2 : The polarity of the “neutral” connector should be labeled with
Part Number : 1394725-1 or 1394725-2.
3 : The connector system is fully latched only when the latches are flush with the
mating connectors. After the connector is fully latched, the optional latch locking
clip may be snapped, with a click, into place.
Fig. 5
(female connector)
3.3 Disconnecting
CAUTION : DO NOT DISCONNECTED UNDER LOAD.
Disconnect circuit load before unplugging connectors by using approved devices
(DC main switch, inverter connector and other devices). Cable assemblies should
be labeled with part number : 1394470-1.
Fig. 6
1 : The locking mechanism is opened by depressing the latches.
2 : Pull out the connectors. While depressing the latches, disconnect the
connector by pulling the connector halves apart.

Tooling
Find available tools for the contact crimping on page 32 (please specify the required wire
gauge). An extraction tool (part number 1102855-3 and 1102855-9) is needed to disassemble
the connector components. The tool is used to unlock the contact retention features, after
which the contact can be removed and re-used one time if necessary.
