Modules can come with different types of connectors - MC4 (the most common type of connector which is produced by Staubli), Amphenol, Tyco - which are not compatible with one another. So it is important to make sure that you have the correct type of connector to be able to make a connection with the PV module. Otherwise a high resistance connection can be created that might lead to a failure or a fire. It is also important that a crimping tool designed for use with the specific type of connector is used.
