MC3 is the abbreviation of Multi-Contact and its size 3mm PV connector with 3 mm contact pin. MC3 had certification ratings of (1000VIEC/600V UL) and 30A (10AWG PV Cable). The MC3 connectors were discontinued in 2016. MC4 name stood for Multi-Contact and its size 4mm PV connectors, introduced by Multi-Contact in 2004.

A front-on view of a typical pair of Tyco Solarlok solar panel connectors. The blue ring on the female connector indicates that it is keyed for negative polarity. The keys are the plastic ridges running along the probe on the right connector. The right connector is the female electrically, although it appears male mechanically.
A PV junction box is attached to the back of the solar panel and functions as its output interface. External connections for most photovoltaic modules use MC4 connectors to facilitate easy weatherproof connections to the rest of the system. A USB power interface can also be used. [11]
In 2008, NEC banned the opening of PV connectors under load as the push-fit connectors were required to contain positive locking mechanisms controlled by certified, product-specific tools. The MC3 PV connector did not meet these requirements, but its successor, MC4 PV connectors , which were launched in 2004 provided the fundamental mechanism ...

A photovoltaic system, also called a PV system or solar power system, is an electric power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics.It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to convert the output from direct to alternating current, as well as mounting, cabling, and ...
Internal view of a solar inverter. Note the many large capacitors (blue cylinders), used to buffer the double line frequency ripple arising due to single-phase ac system.. A solar inverter or photovoltaic (PV) inverter is a type of power inverter which converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic solar panel into a utility frequency alternating current (AC) that can be ...
