The Rich Solar RS-G04 Cable Entry Plate Lets Roof Panel Leads Plug Straight Into IP68 Solar Connectors
The Rich Solar RS-G04 Cable Entry Plate is a compact roof entry with MC4 solar connectors pre-installed in the face of its housing. Your panel leads plug into those connectors on the roof, and 1 foot red and black UL 1015 10 AWG tin-plated copper wires run from the underside into the vehicle.
Rich Solar built it for mobile and RV installations. The flame-retardant polypropylene housing measures 5.9 x 4.3 x 1.6 inches, weighs 0.29 lb and operates from -40°F to 185°F. The wiring is rated 30A continuous, 42A maximum and 600V.
Rich Solar RS-G04 Cable Entry Plate Features
Pre-Installed IP68 Solar Connectors
The tool-free MC4 connectors are rated IP68, flame-retardant to UL94 V-0 and UL Listed, so panel leads connect directly at the plate.
Color-Coded 10 AWG Leads
The 1 foot leads are UL 1015 10 AWG tin-plated copper in red and black with clear polarity markings. VW-1 flame-rated PVC insulation is rated from 5°F to 221°F (-15°C to 105°C).
Reinforced, Low-Profile Housing
Rich Solar describes a reinforced structure for mobile and RV use. The flame-retardant polypropylene housing sits low on the roof in a 5.9 x 4.3 inch footprint.
Real-World Applications
RV roofs. Plug roof panel leads into the plate and carry the 10 AWG leads inside toward your charge controller.
Vehicles and other mobile setups. Use the compact 5.9 x 4.3 inch plate where roof space is limited, on arrays that run 30A or less.
Practical Comparison
Connector Entry Plate Versus a Gland-Style Entry
A gland-style entry passes cables through sealing glands, with the connectors on loose leads outside the housing. The RS-G04 has its IP68 solar connectors pre-installed in the housing itself, so panel leads plug straight into the plate.
Buyer Guidance
Mounting and Wiring
Seal and secure the plate with adhesive or sealant and screws. Mounting hardware isn't included. The leads are 1 foot long, so plan how they'll join the wiring that runs to your controller, and keep the array within 30A continuous and 600V.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You're installing solar on an RV or other vehicle roof
- Your array runs 30A or less continuous
- You want panel leads to plug directly into the plate
- Your system design calls for 10 AWG wiring
