Benefits of the Enphase Q-CONN-R-10F SUBSTITUTE CONNECTOR

In an installation with microinverters, the most delicate point is not usually the electronic equipment. They usually be the connections on deck, which are exposed to rain, UV radiation and thermal cycles for decades. The Q-CONN-A-10F solve this critical point with a connection plug-in, watertight and certified that does not need derivation boxes or artisanal splices.

Connection from any open point of the line

The female connector is coupled to any open Q cable connector single-phase. As well you can feed through the center any section of the trunk cable without leaving the branch limits. This gives freedom to design branches when the electrical box is in the middle of the field of solar panels or when the cover has several skirts.

Zero wasting cable

Combined with Q Raw cable Q-25-RAW-300, the connector allows to cut exactly the length necessary to join two sections or reach the junction box. The link connectors eliminate cable waste, a clear advantage in front of systems with fixed-length hoses.

IP67 tightness and outdoor materials

The cable that cable has iP67 protection according to IEC 60529, , uV resistance according to ISO 492-2 and fire behavior according to IEC 60332-1-2. The double insulation cable H07BQ-F supports 90 ° C wet and dry, usual conditions under the modules in the middle of the mediterranean summer.

Fastest and fastest installation

Enphase designed the ecosystem that cable for the simplicity, reliability and speed of installation. The connector is wired in the field without special tools or complex processes. Next to the cable numbering and plug and play connectors, it simplifies wiring management over the structures for solar panels.

When to use the Q-CONN-R-10F FEMALE CONNECTOR

Typical scenarios in work

• Central feeding of the branch: to carry the rush to an intermediate point of the line of microinverters.
• Union of two sections of Q cable: when the photovoltaic field is divided into separate rows or in several skirts.
• Connection of the q Gross cable: to create custom sections with the Q-25-RAW-300 cable.
• Repairs and extensions: to replace a damaged section or add modules in existing installations.

Male or female: How to choose

Enphase offers the field connector in male version (Q-CONN-R-10M) and female version (Q-CONN-R-10F). The female version connects with the open Q cable connectors. To join two raw cable stretches, the usual thing is to combine both versions, one at each end.

Single-phase or three-phase

The Q-CONN-A-10F it is exclusive to Q cable single-phase (two threads). In three-phase installations with Q cable of four threads you must use the reference Q-CONN-3P-10F, with your specific disconnect tool Q-DISC 3P-10.

Recommended accessories for a complete cable system

An enphase facility well finished needs more than connectors. Enphase recommends forecast at least one Q-DISC-10 disconnection tool per installation. In addition, each unused cable connector must be covered with a sealing cap Q-SEAL-10, and the free ends of the cable must be closed with a terminator Q-TERM-R-10. To fix the wiring to the structure and collect the surplus loops clips Et-CLIP-100 they are the official option.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the Enphase Q-CONN-R-10F CONNECTOR FOR?

It is a female wiring connector in field to make connections from any open Q cable connector single-phase of Enphase. It allows you to feed a cable section by the center, join sections or connect q raw cable without a complex wiring on cover.

2. Is it compatible with three-phase installations?

No. The Q-CONN-R-10F is just for Q cable single-phase. In systems three-phase you must use the Q-CONN-3P-10F (female) or the Q-CONN-3P-10M (male), designed for the four-wire cable.

3. Is it suitable for exterior and to be exposed to rain?

Yes. The Q cable system has degree of protection IP67 according to IEC 60529, , uV resistance (in ISO 492-2) and cable with nominal temperature of 90 ° C in wet and dry. To maintain tightness, connectors that are not used must be closed with plugs Q-SEAL-10.

4. What tool do I need to disconnect it?

To disconnect the cable connectors single-phase the tool is used Q-DISC-10, which also serves for DC connectors and for the assembly of AC modules. Enphase recommends having at least one per installation.

5. With what microinverters Enphase is used?

The Q cable and its accessories are part of the Enphase IQ System Sixth Generation, so they are used with the microinverters of that platform. Always check the documentation of your model to confirm the cable type. In our category of Microinverters you can see the Enphase models available.

6. Can I use this connector in a battery installation?

Yes. The connector is part of the AC wiring of the microinverters, which is independent of the storage system. If you want to add accumulation to your installation, you can check our lithium batteries or, for solutions without work, the Batteries Plug & Play.
