Weidmüller's PUSH IN connection system saves approximately 50 percent of the time required for cabling solar systems, without compromising connection quality. PV-Stick connects securely and reliably in just a few steps: simply insert the stripped conductor, turn the screw cap and the connection is made. A clearly audible click indicates a perfect, secure connection.

A visible marker on the screw cap acts as an accurate indicator for determining the stripping length. Wire cross-sections of 4mm² or 6mm² can be attached to the PV-Stick in a matter of seconds, without the need for wire-end ferrules, crimp contacts or crimping tools. The rating is 30A at 1,000Vdc.
