JUNCTION BOX, MICROINVERTER
AND TERMINALS
Modules equipped with one junc-
tion box contain terminals for both
positive and negative polarity, and
bypass diodes.
Each terminal is dedicated to one
polarity (with the polarity symbols
engraved onto the body of the junc-

terminal has a female connector.
Latching connectors are type IV and
supplied by STAUBLI ELECTRICAL
