I. Core Functions
-
Cable Securing & Protection
-
Anti-Disengagement Design: Backside barbs or locking tabs ensure firm attachment to module frames (1.0–3.2mm thickness), resisting wind/mechanical vibration.
-
Insulation Protection: Smooth edges and cable channels prevent abrasion and short circuits.
-
-
Routing Management & Efficiency
-
Supports parallel or perpendicular routing (e.g., 90° angle models).
-
Tool-free installation; single clip secures 2–4 cables (e.g., 2×4.0mm² or 4×6.0mm²), reducing installation time.
-
-
Environmental Resilience
-
UV-resistant, salt-spray-proof, and temperature-tolerant (–40℃ to +95℃). Suitable for deserts, coastlines, and polar regions.
-
II. Primary Applications
-
PV Systems: Cable management on module frames, racking systems, and inverter terminals.
-
Extended Uses: Boats, trailers, or workbenches requiring corrosion/water resistance.
-
Large-scale Plants: High-density routing support for grid stability.
III. Material Classifications & Properties
| Material Type | Examples | Key Properties | Typical Use Cases |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stainless Steel | SUS304/301 | High corrosion resistance, stress-resistant (10+ year lifespan) | Coastal/offshore installations |
| Spring Steel | 65Mn (zinc-chromate coated) | Superior elasticity, quenched surface + anti-corrosion coating | Frequent reconfiguration |
| Engineered Thermoplastics | PA12/PA66 | UV-stable (3,600+ hr certification), chemical-resistant, lightweight | High-UV/desert environments |
| Reinforced Nylon | Modified PA66 | Impact-resistant, cost-effective (moderate weatherability) | Mild-climate projects |
Note: Zinc-chromate coating (e.g., Dacromet) significantly enhances spring steel corrosion resistance.
IV. Optimal Clip Selection (by Scenario)
The “best” clip depends on specific requirements:
-
Universal Efficiency
-
Stainless Steel Clips (SUS304):
-
Tool-free installation, multi-directional routing, slim profile for pre-assembly.
-
Ideal for standardized large-scale plants.
-
-
-
Extreme Environments
-
High-Grade Stainless Steel Clips (e.g., 410 stainless):
-
Dual-compression mechanism secures 4×10 AWG PV cables (Ø5.1–8.3mm); –40℃ to 120℃ tolerance.
-
Suited for high-corrosion/thermal-cycling sites (offshore/desert).
-
-
-
Cost-Effective Thermoplastic
-
PA12 Plastic Clips (lock-in design):
-
3,600+ hr UV resistance (∼24 years equivalent), chloride-resistant, holds Ø27.9mm bundles.
-
Balanced solution for budget-sensitive projects.
-
-
-
Specialized Component Compatibility
-
Ratchet-Type Clips (reinforced PA66 + steel hooks):
-
Adjustable bundling (Ø6–50mm), one-handed operation, compatible with thin-film modules.
-
-
Key Recommendations
-
Material Priority: Use stainless steel (SUS304) or PA12 thermoplastics for long-term outdoor projects.
-
Selection Criteria:
✅ Match cable count/diameter (e.g., 4×6.0mm² requires 4-cable clips).
✅ Verify frame thickness compatibility (1.0–3.2mm standard).
✅ Prioritize UL/CE/IEC certifications for harsh environments.
