Radox connector

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

RADOX Solar connectors are a largely obsolete electrical connector used to connect solar panels together in series to form strings.

Overview

[edit]

The RADOX Solar brand covered a variety of products from Huber+Suhner of Switzerland, but the connectors are the best known member of the line and the term Radox connector is synonymous.[1]

The Radox connectors were most widely known from their use on Renewable Energy Corporation's solar panels from Norway, and did not find widespread use outside that market.

Standards

[edit]

Radox connectors did not meet new US standards that required the cables to not be able to disconnect without the use of a tool. Many companies introduced new connectors to meet these requirements, like the MC4 connector and Tyco Solarlok, but the Radox was not updated and quickly disappeared from the market.
