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.

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.

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.

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 clip.
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.

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
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.

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.
Cable assemblies are labeled with PN : 1394470-1.
PROTECT AGAINST SHOCK : Ensure that conductors and their associated
connectors are separated from opposite polarity components.
IMPORTANT NOTE
General Comments
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.
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 #114-74013)

Assembly and Installation Guidelines (continued)
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.
Fig. 3
5 : Tighten backshell nut to 1.3 +0.2 Nm.

SOLARLOK Connectivity Systems for PV Installers
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 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 24 (please specify the required wire
gauge). An extraction tool (part number 1102855-3) 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.
