The Go Power! Solar Branch Connector 1 Male to 2 Female Splits One SC Connection Into Two for Simple Parallel Panel Wiring
The Go Power! Solar Branch Connector 1 Male to 2 Female (SC-BC-1M2F) branches one solar connector (SC) connection into two. It's made for wiring solar panels in parallel, so you can grow a multi-panel array with plug-in connections.
It works with Go Power! solar panels, including every Solar Flex and rigid model, and with most standard SC solar systems. It suits solar setups on RVs, vans, trucks and boats.
Go Power! Solar Branch Connector 1 Male to 2 Female Features
Tool-Free Plug-In Connections
The interlocking connectors snap securely into place by hand, with no tools needed. A locking-type design holds each connection together once it's mated.
Built for Outdoor Solar Use
The connector is rated for outdoor solar panel use and is UV-resistant. Plugged together, it's rated IP67, and it handles ambient temperatures from -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C).
Rated for 1500 V DC and 50 A
It carries a 1500 V DC (UL) voltage rating and a 50 A current rating. Inside, a MULTILAM contact system uses tin-plated copper contacts. The flame class is UL94-V0, and it's a UL recognized component in accordance with UL 6703.
Real-World Applications
Adding a panel to your array. Branch one SC connection into two when you wire panels in parallel.
Larger layouts. Combine it with other Go Power! branch connectors for parallel or serial-parallel connections of solar panels.
Practical Comparison
A Mated Branch Connector Versus an Open Port
Plugged together, the connector is rated IP67. An open, unmated port is rated only IP2X, so any unmated connection must be protected by a sealing cap. If you leave a branch empty for a future panel, cap it.
Buyer Guidance
Check Your Connector Type
This branch connector is compatible with solar connector (SC) systems. Confirm your panel leads and extension cables use SC connectors before you order.
Stay Within the Ratings
Keep your array within the connector's 1500 V DC and 50 A ratings. Use it with other Go Power! branch connectors to build out the rest of your parallel wiring.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You're adding panels to an RV, van, truck or boat solar setup
- Your panels use SC connectors
- You're wiring panels in parallel
- You want plug-in connections with no tools
