ABSTRACT:
A high current connector system is disclosed for use with photovoltaic modules of the type employed by the solar energy industry. The connector provides quick and positive means of connecting an array of solar cells in a module to a common bus and with a harness connector. The connector is configured to protect against inadvertent electrical shock during mating or unmating of the connector. The connector plug member has a two stage assembly which in the first stage allows for free passage for a conductor through the plug housing and in the second assembly stage provides an environmentally sealed condition for the plug with the seal also serving as a strain relief for the conductor.
