Hi Guys,

Are MC4 connectors easily removable from the cable? Need to run the cable from the solar panel to a telemetry box and want to make sure I size my conduit and bushing appropriatly.

Thanks,
EE

If by 'easily removable' you mean cutting them off and throwing them away because you no longer need them, then yes.

MC4s are an item that is field (or factory) connected to the conductor with the proper crimp tool and gland tightening tool. They are not removable and replaceable. You can cut one off a cable (don't do that on a warrantied module) but afterwards the cut off connector is garbage.

Sounds like maybe you're at a stage you should graduate from buying premade cables.
