solar panel connectors
What are the pros and cons to TYCO connectors vs mc4 and do they make some type of y connector for Tyco or should I stay away from tyco.
Forum Discussion
Industry standard is MC4 and H4 (same thing). At least, for large panels.
Don't know if there is any other difference, ex. connectivity or weather resistance. Extension cables exist for either type, and there are Tyco-MC4 adapters. If you find a quality brand panel for low price with Tyco - I would say go for it.
What you should worry about is getting a cr.appy connector by unknown manufacturer when buying unknown Chinese panels, and then it can be either a fake Tyco or fake MC4.
