Suitable for automated or manual assembly, Twinbox's compact design with integrated MC4 connector means cables can be shorter, with consequent savings on cable costs. It also reduces the amount of potting compound needed.

The units have a rated current of 25A, with voltages rated at 1,000V/1,500V (IEC) and 600V/1,000V (UL). Environmental protection is IP65/IP68 when mated (IP2X unmated).

Accessories include sealing caps and an unlocking tool, consisting of a belt pouch with two open-ended metal spanners.
