The BougeRV 1 to 6 MC4 Solar Panel Parallel Connectors Link Six Panels to One Output With Fewer Cables
The BougeRV 1 to 6 MC4 Solar Panel Parallel Connectors are a pair of branch cables, one male to six female (M/FFFFFF) and one female to six male (F/MMMMMM). Together they connect six solar panels in parallel to a single output.
They're for owners of multi-panel arrays who want fewer cables and connections between the panels and the charge controller. They fit solar cable from 14 AWG to 10 AWG.
BougeRV 1 to 6 MC4 Solar Panel Parallel Connectors Features
Six Panels, One Output
Each connector gathers six branch leads into one main lead, which cuts the number of cables and connections in your array wiring.
Separate Main and Branch Ratings
The main line is rated 55A and DC 1500V. Each branch line is rated 30A and DC 1000V. Contact resistance is 5 mΩ or less.
Built-In Lock, No Tools Needed
Each male connector has a built-in lock. Press both sides of the lock with your fingers to connect or disconnect, with no other tool, and the lock keeps the connection stable.
IP67 Waterproof Ring
A waterproof ring in the male connector keeps out water and dust for an IP67 rating. The PPO housing resists aging and UV and works from -40°F to 221°F.
Tinned Copper Cable and 100 cm Length
The leads use tinned copper cable, and the total length is 39.37 in (100 cm), which BougeRV says is long enough to connect six panels in parallel.
Real-World Applications
RV roof arrays. BougeRV's diagrams show six roof panels wired in parallel to an MPPT controller.
Tidier wiring. Run one main lead from each connector to the controller instead of six.
Larger parallel arrays. Link up to six panels with one pair of connectors.
Practical Comparison
1 to 6 Connectors Versus Smaller Y Connectors
Two- or three-branch Y connectors join fewer panels. This pair handles six panels in parallel in one set.
Parallel Connectors Versus Individual Cable Runs
Running every panel to the controller separately means more cables and connections. This pair merges six branches into one main line.
Buyer Guidance
Cable to the Controller
BougeRV's wiring diagram notes that when you connect six panels to the controller with this connector, you should use 8AWG solar cable for that connection. Each branch line is rated 30A and the main line 55A, so check your panels against those ratings or ask our team.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You're wiring up to six panels in parallel
- Your panels use conventional MC4 solar connectors
- You want fewer cables running to your controller
Common Questions
How Many Panels Can It Connect?
Six, in parallel. One connector is male to six female and the other is female to six male.
What Cable Should Run to the Controller?
BougeRV's diagram says to use 8AWG solar cable when you connect six panels to the controller with this connector.
How Long Is It?
The total length is 39.37 in (100 cm).
What Warranty Does It Have?
BougeRV lists an 18-month warranty.
