Description
The joint is made on the roof, by hand.
Trina Solar TS4-M2 is the male plug half of Trina's TS4 field-assembly PV connector pair, rated 1,500 V DC to both IEC and UL and 46 A at 6 mm², with IP68 sealing once mated and crimped tin-plated copper contacts, engineered for durable DC string terminations on 4–6 mm² solar cable.
Rated 1,500 V DC to both IEC and UL, with a 16 kV rated impulse voltage.
46 A at 6.0 mm² and 41 A at 4.0 mm², measured at 85 °C ambient.
IP68 (1 m, 1 h) when mated; IP2X unmated.
Contact resistance ≤ 0.5 mΩ on tin-plated copper, crimp terminated.
Certified to IEC 62852 (TÜV R50369705, R50385924) and UL 6703 (file E486009).
More product details
A string termination is only as good as its crimp. The TS4-M2 terminates by crimping onto tin-plated copper contacts sized for 4.0 or 6.0 mm² conductor and a 5.6–6.8 mm cable outer diameter, and locks when mated so the pair cannot be pulled apart by hand.
- Crimp termination onto tin-plated copper; 4.0 or 6.0 mm² (12 / 10 AWG) conductor.
- Sealed to IP68 (1 m, 1 h) once mated; IP2X unmated.
- Certified to IEC 62852 (TÜV R50369705, R50385924) and UL 6703 (file E486009).

Sealed to IP68 once mated
A rooftop termination stands in rain and standing water for the life of the array. Mated, this connector is rated IP68 to 1 m for 1 h; unmated it is IP2X, so it is protected on the reel but only sealed once the pair is closed. Insulation is m-PPE / PA with a UL94-V0 flame class, and the working range is −40 °C to +85 °C.
Takes 4.0 or 6.0 mm² cable
Conductor cross-section is 4.0 or 6.0 mm² (12 / 10 AWG) over a cable outer diameter of 5.6–6.8 mm. Termination is by crimping onto tin-plated copper contacts — not screw or push-fit — so the joint is made with a crimp tool, not by hand.
Contact resistance at or under 0.5 mΩ
Rated 41 A at 4.0 mm², 46 A at 6.0 mm² and 55 A at 10.0 mm², all measured at 85 °C. Rated impulse voltage is 16 kV, protection class II, pollution degree 2.
Mates with the TS4-F2
This half is the male plug, part number 70930084. The matching half is the TS4-F2 female socket, part number 70930085. A field-made string termination needs both.
Technical data
Field-assembled DC connector half for 4–6 mm² solar cable, rated 1,500 V and sealed to IP68 once mated.
Male plug half for crimped 4–6 mm² PV string terminations.
The Trina Solar TS4-M2 is the male plug of the TS4 connector pair, terminated by crimping onto tin-plated copper contacts. It is rated 1,500 V DC to both IEC and UL, carries 46 A at 6.0 mm² and 41 A at 4.0 mm² at 85 °C, and holds contact resistance at or under 0.5 mΩ. Mated it is sealed to IP68 (1 m, 1 h); unmated it is IP2X.

Project fit
Where this model fits.
Scenarios that show which projects the Trina Solar TS4-M2 (Male PV connector, 4-6 mm²) belongs in, what to verify before quoting, and when another model is the better pick.
Field-Assembled DC String Terminations on 4–6 mm² Solar Cable
Rooftop and ground-mount strings terminated on site, where the installer crimps connectors onto 4–6 mm² solar cable rather than using factory-made leads.
Both halves are field-terminated by crimping, so a string can be made to length on site instead of ordering factory leads.
- BoundaryThis is the male plug only. A complete termination also needs the TS4-F2 female socket, part number 70930085.

Which half is the TS4-M2, and what does it mate with?
The TS4-M2 is the male plug, part number 70930084. It mates with the TS4-F2 female socket, part number 70930085; a field-assembled termination on 4–6 mm² cable needs one of each. Both halves are certified to IEC 62852 (TÜV certificates R50369705 and R50385924) and UL 6703 (file E486009), and are terminated by crimping onto tin-plated copper contacts.
