What is the name of the connector used for pv wire to enter jbox outside

 

[Ponchik]

My basic google search brings up "MC4 connector".

That is only one the comes up. Looking to enter jb. I know Rome connector would be a no go.

Cord grip, cord connector, weather tight cable connecter, etc ?

Seems like already covered, but could be many things.

Myer's hubs and cable glands as far as entering enclosures goes. . . at least in my part of the world. I'm sure there are other things as stated above. The MC4 type is more so for connecting conductors together. Not so much to and through the enclosure.

Also "strain relief".

For PV wire you really need to specify that though.

Heyco is the brand I'm most familiar with. I'm not aware of any others with a good selection that are engineered with PV in mind, although there may be others.

Google "Heyco pv wire" along with "strain relief", "cord grip", etc, and you will be able to find what your looking for, and places online to purchase.

You won't find these at your local electrical supplier.

You can buy from Heyco directly. Browse their website for a part number, and paste it here for a keyword search.

These are new PV cable connectors from Arlington that accommodate multiple cables per connector.

According to the data sheet, those are not connectors. They are cord grips that allow the wires to pass into the box and be terminated inside on a lug or terminal strip.

I think that's what the OP is looking for though. . .

Good to know, thanks. Maybe I'll have an easier time getting these from my main supplier.

For sure.

Many of us call them cord connectors just like connectors we use for raceways.

They connect a wiring method to an enclosure.
