New website for solar and photovoltaic connection components
Tyco Electronics has launched a new website to promote its products for the solar and photovoltaic industry. Under the new landing page at www.te.com/en/industries/solar.html customers can find industry-related information on junction boxes, cable couplers, combiner boxes, solar cables, grounding products and identification labels.
According to the company, Tyco Electronics' product portfolio for the photovoltaic industry is constantly growing, backed by research, engineering and test capabilities. Tyco Electronics' SOLARLOK product portfolio, for example, is versatile for interconnecting crystalline and thin-film modules used in rack mounted, shingle, tile, or BIPV applications. The products are UL approved to UL 1703, UL 1741, UL 4703, UL 854 and UL 467 as applicable, in addition to TUV testing to the VDE V 0126 standard.
Solar junction boxes meet the requirements for IEC 61215 ed 2 with no need for additional potting materials. Foil termination is simple and easy to use, requiring no foil welding, soldering or screwing for termination. The solar wiring connectors utilise latching systems including an optional solar safety clip that meet the needs for NEC 2008. Tyco Electronics also produces its own dual-rated, universal style solar wire (UL 4703 and TUV ZHSCG) as well as a USE-2 solar wire for the American market. For labelling, the company offers standard and custom solar/warning labels that are rated up to 30 years of sunlight exposure.
Take a look at the new website now at www.te.com/en/industries/solar.html.
