In-line Solar Fuse Connector for Safe and Reliable PV System Protection

Integrated Overcurrent Protection for Solar Arrays

The Exotronic In-line Solar Fuse Connector combines a standard Ø 4 mm solar connector with a built-in fuse, providing essential overcurrent protection for individual panel strings or parallel connections. This design helps prevent damage to solar panels and wiring in the event of a fault, reducing the risk of fire and equipment failure. With a rated current of 10A, it is suited to a wide range of photovoltaic installations, from small caravan solar systems to larger off-grid arrays.

Engineered for Harsh Australian Conditions

Built to perform in demanding environments, this connector features an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating when mated, ensuring reliable operation even in heavy rain or dusty outback settings. The PC/PPO insulation material is UV-resistant and carries a UL94-V0 flame class rating, adding an extra layer of safety. A wide operating temperature range of –40°C to +90°C (with an upper limit of +105°C) means it can handle extreme heat and cold without compromising performance.

Secure Connection with Snap-in Locking

The snap-in locking system ensures a firm, vibration-resistant connection that won't loosen over time, critical for mobile applications such as caravans, 4WDs, and marine solar setups. Tinned copper contacts with a low contact resistance of 0.5 mΩ minimise power loss, while the 1000V DC (IEC) voltage rating makes it suitable for high-voltage series strings. The connector also meets salt mist spray test severity 5 (IEC 60068-2-52), confirming its suitability for coastal and marine environments.

Key Features

• Integrated fuse protection rated at 10A for overcurrent safety
• IP67 waterproof and dustproof when mated for reliable outdoor use
• 1000V DC rated for compatibility with high-voltage solar arrays
• Snap-in locking prevents accidental disconnection
• Wide temperature range from –40°C to +90°C for extreme climates
• Salt mist resistant (severity 5) ideal for marine and coastal installations
• Flame class UL94-V0 insulation for enhanced fire safety
• Low contact resistance (0.5 mΩ) for efficient energy transfer
• Standard Ø 4 mm connector system for broad compatibility

Simple Integration into Any Solar Setup

With its plug-and-play design, the Exotronic In-line Solar Fuse Connector installs quickly between solar panels and the rest of the system, requiring no special tools. The compact, cylindrical housing (approximately 131 mm long and 18.8 mm in diameter) fits neatly into cable runs without adding bulk. An embossed safety warning on the housing reminds users not to disconnect under load, promoting safe operation.

Whether you are building a DIY off-grid system, upgrading a caravan solar array, or maintaining a professional PV installation, this fused connector offers a straightforward way to improve system safety and reliability. It helps protect your investment by isolating faults before they can cause extensive damage.
