Weidmüller, a German manufacturer of electrical engineering products, has developed a new connection technology designed to make photovoltaic installations simpler, faster and safer. Its tool-free “Snap-In” technology reportedly enables quick and reliable cable connections without the need for crimping tools.
The connection engages immediately, providing both electrical and mechanical integrity. According to the manufacturer, installers can connect cables in a matter of seconds. This can reduce installation time while also minimizing the risk of faulty assemblies.
The system is designed for voltages of up to 1,500 V DC and is certified by TÜV Rheinland in accordance with IEC 62852. The PV-Stick can operate at temperatures ranging from -40 C to 85 C. Its IP65 and IP68 protection ratings are designed to ensure reliable operation in outdoor conditions.
The connection technology is compatible with standard solar cables in accordance with IEC 62930:2017, allowing the product to be integrated into a range of system designs without requiring specialized cabling.
