Solar PV DC Quick Disconnect Switch
Equipment Type and Primary Applications
Four-pole photovoltaic DC disconnect switch for isolating solar arrays from connected equipment in off-grid and grid-tied solar systems. The 4P-in-series configuration supports two PV strings and provides a dedicated means of disconnecting DC load circuits during installation, servicing, or emergency isolation.

Safety Features and Certifications
SAFE-LOCK construction helps prevent unauthorized or accidental operation. The flame-retardant enclosure and rapid arc suppression support safer photovoltaic DC isolation. Certified to UL 508I and marked CE. Do not mix MC4 connectors from different manufacturers. Use only the supplied connectors and terminals.
Installation and Maintenance Requirements
Install using the specified crimping tool. Crimp terminals correctly, insert each connector fully, and confirm secure locking with an audible click. Improper connector selection or installation can cause overheating, fire, or equipment damage. Mounting clearance and service access must accommodate the 7.1 × 6.8 × 4.3 in enclosure.
Warranty and Service Information
Includes a 3-year warranty.
