T/GHIC 002-2024 Photovoltaic connector

Scope

Scope: This standard specifies the relevant terms, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, and delivery preparation for photovoltaic connectors. This standard applies to photovoltaic connectors (hereinafter referred to as connectors) for technical reference purposes. Main technical content: 1. Terms and definitions: This standard defines the relevant terms of photovoltaic connectors, including "free connectors", "fixed connectors", "non-repetitive wiring connectors", "Class II equipment connectors", and "operating cycles of connectors". 2. Composition and basic performance of connectors: This standard specifies the composition and component and material requirements of photovoltaic connectors. The structure and performance of connectors should be able to withstand the corresponding electrical, mechanical, thermal, and corrosion stresses, meet the requirements for long-term reliable operation under general outdoor conditions as described in IEC 60721-2-1, and ensure the safety of users and the surrounding environment. Connectors are generally composed of a housing and contacts. Common accessories include: contact reinforcement and positioning locking devices (PLR: Positive Latch Reinforcement, including wedges, spacers, brackets, and locking plates), connector positioning assurance devices (CPA: Connector Position Assurance), mechanical boosters (mechanical assist, including pins, cams, and levers), and short-circuit bars. Basic performance includes "mechanical performance", "electrical performance", and "environmental performance". 3. Requirements and tests: This standard specifies the "general requirements", "measurement and accuracy requirements", and "test methods" for photovoltaic connectors. 4. Inspection rules: This standard specifies the inspection rules for photovoltaic connectors, including "factory inspection" and "type inspection". 5. Marking, user manuals, packaging, transportation, and storage
