Hercules PV Junction Box
Amphenol Industrial is proud to introduce the cost-effective and versatile Hercules PV Junction Box. This junction box series was developed to meet the stringent technical requirements of the solar industry, yet offers significant design flexibility.
This UL/TUV approved junction box features a standardized exterior box geometry for automated assembly, making it ideal for use on rigid silicon panels used throughout PV applications.
Hercules junction box diodes can be matched to any photovoltaic (PV) panel's specifications for optimal electrical protection. Amphenol offers a variety of diodes in multiple current ratings.
The updated junction box is 117 mm x 107 mm x 22 mm, has a temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and offers various ranges for contacts and bypass diodes. It has a current rating of 20 A and a rated voltage of 1,000 VDC (TUV) and 600 VDC (UL).
Hercules can be used in conjunction with Amphenol's H4 self-locking connectors. The connectors meet NEC2008 standards; offer a higher current rating and lower power loss.
