Connectors for Solar Energy Systems

SOURIAU is a global manufacturer of interconnect solutions for demanding utility and industrial scale solar applications where intense UV and exposure to harsh environments dictate more sophisticated connector solutions. Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) and Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV) systems often involve heliostat and dual-axis tracking systems which require highly reliable and specialized interconnect designs. SOURIAU can offer expertise in the design, engineering and manufacture of simplistic or more complex designs requiring integrated surge protection, IP68/IP69K sealing, PCB embedded designs, quick and reliable latching solutions for easier and faster field installations and much more.

Our comprehensive product portfolio includes both connectors and overmolded cable assemblies to meet every application and design need. For applications where EMI and RFI interference may be a concern, consider the UTO-series circular metal connector which offers extreme full metal shielding, IP68/69K sealing and rapid 1/3 turn connection.

The SOURIAU UTS circular plastic connector series is UL/CSA recognized and provides a rapid, secure and high performance connection you can rely on. Superior waterproof and UV resistance features make the UTS series suitable for any high performance application and should be your first choice in areas involving high moisture and long periods of solar exposure.

The UTL-series offers all the same advantages but is also designed to be engaged or disengaged during normal use when live or under power load and complies with UL/IEC power supply ratings. In addition, the UTL-series offers a unique and simple push pull locking mechanism for easy installation and produces an audible “click” confirming proper connection eliminating any uncertainty of not having achieved mated condition.

UTS Threaded Receptacles

UTS Threaded Receptacles

UTS threaded receptacles are the latest addition to SOURIAU’s UTS connector series. They are designed particularly for industrial applications, such as junction boxes and even variable speed drives on induction motors, and fit in place of conventional cable glands.

Ninety percent of connections on induction motor relays are made via cable glands – fittings that secure and seal cables to junction boxes – instead of connectors. The new SOURIAU UTS threaded receptacles make installation and maintenance much easier. Whereas before it was necessary to open a junction box, make the necessary connections, close the box and fit a cable gland, now you just have to connect and disconnect the box.

UTS threaded receptacles are very quick to fit and require no special tools. Simply unscrew the cable gland and screw the threaded receptacle directly in its place. UTS threaded receptacles are available in five layouts and three sizes (10, 14 and 18) and can be used to carry signals, power or both. They are offered in three thread standards – M (metric), Pg (Panzergewinde) and NPT (National Pipe Thread) – for compatibility with any range or wiring standard in Europe, the USA, Japan and elsewhere. Designed to withstand harsh environments, UTS threaded receptacles are UL 1977 and UL 94-V0 (fire and smoke) approved, UV resistant and IP68/69K rated.

UTS Hi seal

New from SOURIAU¿s industrial TRIM TRIO® range.

The existing TRIM TRIO® UTS series IP68/IP69K circular plastic waterproof connectors have been extended to offer solutions that require sealing in unmated conditions when subjected to water immersion or high pressure cleaning.

UTS Hi seal is available in 5 shell sizes and up to 21 contact arrangements and is standard supplied with pre-equipped gold plated solder-bucket contacts. Crimp or dip-solder contacts are also available upon request.

The design is based on the MIL-DTL-26482 standard for metal style bayonet connectors. (equivalent standards are: NFC 93422, HE301B, BS9522-F0017, VG95328).

UTS Hi seal plastic connectors are therefore the perfect solution to overcome Sealing, corrosion, RoHS and ESD problems.
