xVictron Energy Solar Connector Pair MC4, 1x Male / 1x Female
This is a matched pair of MC4 solar connectors from Victron Energy, comprising one male and one female connector. Designed for joining PV cables in solar panel strings and array wiring, they are a standard component in any solar installation where reliable, weatherproof DC connections are required.
Key Features
- Supplied as a matched pair: one male and one female MC4 connector ready for crimping and assembly.
- MC4 format is the industry-standard connector type used across the vast majority of solar panels and PV cabling systems.
- Designed for outdoor use with weatherproof construction suitable for roof-mounted and ground-mounted PV arrays.
- Compatible with standard solar PV cable used in residential and commercial installations.
- Victron Energy branded, ensuring consistent quality with other Victron system components.
Product Overview
MC4 connectors are the standard termination method for solar PV strings in the UK and EU. This pair from Victron Energy allows installers to terminate, extend or repair PV cable runs without compromising the integrity of the DC circuit. The locking mechanism on MC4 connectors prevents accidental disconnection once mated, which is important in live DC systems where unintended disconnection can cause arcing.
These connectors are suitable for use when extending panel leads, building custom cable assemblies, or replacing damaged connectors on an existing array. They require a compatible MC4 crimping tool for correct assembly. Proper crimping is essential: a poorly crimped MC4 connector is a common cause of resistance heating and long-term failure in PV systems.

Installation Notes
MC4 connectors must be assembled using a proper MC4 crimping tool. Do not use generic crimping tools, as incorrect crimp dimensions will result in a poor connection. Solar PV wiring in grid-connected systems in the UK must comply with BS 7671 and relevant G98 or G99 requirements. Installation of PV systems should be carried out by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited installer. Never disconnect MC4 connectors under load: always isolate the circuit before working on DC connections.
