Trailar's solar modules are installed on the roof of the vehicle and are regularly subjected to all kinds of weather conditions and constant vibration. The connectors must be able to withstand such conditions and also satisfy the IP68/69K protection class. They must also be able to safely transmit currents from 3 to 15 amperes. Trailar's systems are supplied with UTS connectors from Souriau. The investment usually pays for itself in less than two years. (mfo)
