Technical Data

10.3 × 85 mm PV Fuse Configuration

F4C-201-1085 is designed for a 10.3 × 85 mm fuse specification and supports fuse ratings from 1A to 30A.

The fuse rating should be selected according to the electrical characteristics of the PV module, the maximum series fuse rating, cable ampacity, system design and applicable installation requirements.

The selected fuse must be suitable for the specific photovoltaic circuit and system voltage.

What Is a Solar Fuse Connector?

A solar fuse connector combines a photovoltaic electrical connection with fuse-based overcurrent protection. It is used in PV circuits where a fuse is required to help protect cables and electrical components from excessive current.

Compared with a standard PV connector, a fuse connector integrates a fuse into the connection assembly, providing a dedicated location for circuit protection within the photovoltaic wiring system.

How to Select the Correct PV Fuse Rating

The correct fuse rating depends on the electrical characteristics of the PV module and the design of the photovoltaic circuit.

When selecting a fuse, the installer or system designer should consider the module short-circuit current, maximum series fuse rating, cable ampacity, system voltage and applicable electrical requirements.

F4C-201-1085 supports fuse ratings from 1A to 30A. The final fuse rating should be confirmed according to the specific PV system design.

MC4-Compatible Solar Fuse Connector

F4C-201-1085 is designed as an MC4-compatible solar fuse connector for photovoltaic applications. When connecting with PV connectors from another manufacturer, electrical, mechanical and certification compatibility should be verified before installation.
