Field Wireable Q Connectors
You can use the male or female Field Wireable Q Connectors to extend the Q Cable (with connectors) or the
raw Q Cable (without connectors). Installers assemble the Field Wireable Q Connectors using a crimp tool
and the provided terminals.
Enphase recommends the Multi-Contact PV-CZM-18100, -19100, or -22100 crimp tools.
Each male or female Field Wireable Q Connector includes the corresponding male or female terminals, so
be sure to keep the terminals separate, as they are not interchangeable.
Note:
Use only the provided terminals, and do NOT use the Field Wireable Q Connectors with other types
of terminals.
Use the Field Wireable Q Connectors only with Enphase Q Cable, and do NOT use other types of
cables or conductors.

When the microinverters are located some distance from the roof top junction box, it may be most
economical to use raw Q Cable (without connectors) to run across an array or to run through raceway,
conduit or a chase to another array.
