The BougeRV Solar Panel Parallel Connectors 1 to 4 Solar Cable Wire Combine Four Panels Into a Single Connection
The BougeRV Solar Panel Parallel Connectors 1 to 4 Solar Cable Wire are one pair of solar Y branch connectors. One is 1 male to 4 female (M/FFFF), and the other is 1 female to 4 male (F/MMMM). Together they connect four solar panels in parallel and bring their outputs to a single MC4 connection.
They're for RV, van, cabin and off-grid owners building a four-panel parallel array with fewer cables.
BougeRV Solar Panel Parallel Connectors 1 to 4 Solar Cable Wire Features
Four Panels, One Lead Out
Four panel leads plug into the branches, and one lead comes out the other end. BougeRV's wiring diagram shows the two branches feeding one pair of cables to a charge controller.
Rated for 30A and DC1000V
BougeRV rates the connectors at 30A and DC1000V, with contact resistance of ≤0.2mΩ and insulation resistance of >500mΩ. The safety class is II.
IP67 Waterproof Ring
Each male connector has an IP67 waterproof ring, and the connectors are dust-proof.
PVC and PPO Build
The connectors are made with PVC and PPO material that resists aging and UV. They carry CE and TÜV certification and a UL94-V0 flame class, and they work from -40°F to +221°F.
Built-In Lock, No Tools
Each male connector has a built-in lock. Press the two sides of the lock with your fingers to connect or disconnect, with no tools needed.
24.8 in Branches for 10-14 AWG Cable
The connectors suit single core cable from 1.5mm² to 6mm², covering 14, 13, 12, 11 and 10 AWG. Each branch connector measures 24.8 in and uses tinned copper cable.
Real-World Applications
RV and van roofs. Tie four roof panels into one run to the charge controller.
Cabins and sheds. Wire a four-panel off-grid array in parallel with fewer cables.
Ground arrays. Join four panels near the array and run one cable pair to the rest of the system.
Practical Comparison
1 to 4 Branch Connectors Versus Separate Cable Runs
Separate runs need a cable pair for each panel. The branch connectors merge four panels at the array, so only one pair continues on.
1 to 4 Branch Connectors Versus Stacked 2 to 1 Branches
Combining four panels with 2 to 1 branches takes several pieces and more connection points. This pair does it with one connector per side.
Buyer Guidance
Connector Compatibility
BougeRV says these suit most conventional solar connectors, except the Amphenol connector and other irregular connector types. Stay within the 30A and DC1000V ratings and the 10-14 AWG cable range.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You wire four solar panels in parallel
- Your PV cable is 10 to 14 AWG
- You want to connect and disconnect without tools
