Module and PV wiring Connectors manufactured and listed as compatible with Staubli MC4 PV Connectors are the only components listed for use on Generac and LightReach projects. Using parts that are not listed for compatibility could impact product warranties, and you could be held responsible for repairs.

  • This includes all Field Manufactured connections and Branch connector accessories.

Please reference the reference articles below and Staubli Links for additional product specific information, including requirements and compatibility.

It can be challenging to distinguish genuine Staubli MC4 connectors from other brands. When ordering connectors, you should request a specific brand and model of connector to ensure your distributor is supplying a compatible part. Before you install the connectors, examine the packaging and parts to ensure they are the correct part.

Figure 1: Not the genuine article. It looks very similar to a genuine Staubli MC4 connector, but it’s from a different manufacturer and is not listed for compatibility. Note that there is no Staubli or MC4 branding on this part.

Figure 2: The real deal. Genuine Staubli MC4 connectors will be marked and branded as such.
