The Orno 13605 provides a complete, matched pair of MC4 connectors — one male and one female — for connecting photovoltaic panels in solar installations. The connectors accept PV wire cross-sections from 1.5mm² to 6mm² using a clamp connection type, covering both thin signal-level runs and larger-gauge power cables in residential and commercial PV arrays.

The PC/PPO housing achieves IP67 protection, confirming dust-tight and temporary-immersion resistance, and is UV-resistant for long-term outdoor exposure. The tinned copper contacts carry a low contact resistance of 0.20mΩ and an insulation voltage of 6kV, supporting operating voltages up to 1000V DC. Underground installation is not supported.

Key Features

• MC4 connector type — industry-standard for photovoltaic panel interconnection
• Full set: 1 male + 1 female connector
• Compatible wire cross-section: 1.5–6mm²
• Rated current: 30A
