{"product_id":"mc4-crimping-tool-solar-cables","title":"MC4 Crimping Tool for 2.5mm 4mm 6mm Solar Cables | Volta","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Volta crimping precision tool is built for professional assembly of MC4 and MC4-compatible solar connectors on 2.5mm², 4mm² and 6mm² single and double insulated cables. Its ratchet mechanism runs through a full crimp cycle before releasing, so every connection gets a consistent, complete crimp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features of this mc4 crimping tool\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector types\u003c\/strong\u003e, MC4 and MC4-compatible connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e, 2.5mm², 4mm² and 6mm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable types\u003c\/strong\u003e, single and double insulated solar PV cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRatchet action\u003c\/strong\u003e, completes the full crimp stroke before the tool releases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDies\u003c\/strong\u003e, replaceable, matched to each cable size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuild\u003c\/strong\u003e, professional grade construction for regular site use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ratchet stops the tool opening before the crimp head finishes its stroke, which avoids under-crimped joints that can lead to high resistance connections, arcing or connector failure in DC solar circuits. Replaceable dies mean the correct die can be fitted for each cable size, extending the tool's working life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTypical uses include MC4 connector assembly on site, residential and commercial PV installation and commissioning, and repair or replacement of existing connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and safety notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsolate the PV array before working on cables or connectors. DC solar circuits carry dangerous voltages. Cable assembly should only be carried out by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited solar installer, in line with IET Wiring Regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Voltacon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52060511928608,"sku":"002417","price":15.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/8148\/1504\/files\/ledandsolar-002417-1.webp?v=1785490656","url":"https:\/\/www.ledandsolar.co.uk\/products\/mc4-crimping-tool-solar-cables","provider":"LED \u0026 Solar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
