Enphase IQ Sealing Cap for Unused Female IQ Cable Connectors
Category: enphase iq8
Enphase Engage Sealing Caps are designed to cover the unused connectors of Engage Cables, providing a watertight seal to prevent water from entering the connectors. One cap should be used for each unused connector.
To cover each unused connector on the IQ Series Q-Cable, an Enphase Q-SEAL Female Sealing Cap is required. This cap creates a watertight seal, protecting the connector from the elements.
Enphase's watertight sealing caps are IP67-rated, indicating that they offer protection against both dust and immersion in liquid. The "IP" rating stands for "Ingress Protection," meaning these caps effectively shield the connectors from environmental factors.
Enphase Q-SEAL Caps are compatible with a variety of solar PV mounting systems, including Roof Mount, Ground Mount, and RV Mount, when used in conjunction with Enphase Q Cables (both Landscape and Portrait configurations) as part of the Enphase IQ Microinverter system for grid-tied and off-grid solar power applications.
The use of Enphase Q-SEAL Caps is mandatory to ensure proper protection against moisture and dust for the solar power system. It is crucial to make sure that watertight sealing caps are installed on all unused AC connectors.
Importantly, the shipping cap provided with the Engage Cables should not be used to cover unused connectors, as it does not offer an adequate environmental seal. Instead, the dedicated Enphase Q-SEAL watertight sealing caps, which are IP67-rated, should be used to protect the system effectively.
In summary, Enphase Engage Sealing Caps play a vital role in maintaining the integrity and reliability of Enphase solar power systems by providing a robust, watertight seal for unused connectors. These IP67-rated caps are compatible with a range of solar PV mounting configurations and are essential for safeguarding the system against moisture and dust intrusion, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
