PREPARATION
Check that you have IQ Field Wireable Connectors for three-phase IQ Cable as
needed for your installation. Both female and male connectors are sold in packs of
ten:
• IQ Field Wireable Connector for three-phase (female):
(Q-CONN-3P-10F)
• IQ Field Wireable Connector for three-phase (male):
(Q-CONN-3P-10M)
Make sure you have the following recommended tools:
• Screwdriver blade width 3.5 mm, PH1 screwdriver
• 30 mm wrench
Use IQ Field Wireable Connectors with three-phase IQ Cable or eld cable to:
• Easily connect three-phase IQ Cables without complex wiring
• Use a mated pair of connectors to end-feed the branch circuit with an AC connection
• Use mated pairs of connectors to connect with a remote part of the array

B) Connect the conductors to the contact carrier according to the
labels on the contact carrier.
* WARNING: Ensure that the correct connection for Line, Neutral,
Earth match according to the label on the contact carrier. In case
of mismatch, phase balance of system will be affected.
NOTE: For exible wires, we recommend using ferrules account to
DIN 46228 that are crimped with jointing clamp.
C) Torque the contact carrier screws to 1 N m.
D) Push the contact carrier into the housing until it snaps in audibly.
E) Tighten the cable gland to a torque of 4.5 N m.
* WARNING: Observe the permitted bending radius during installation.
The degree of protection might fail if the bend radius is exceeded.
A) Prepare the cable:
• Push the cable gland over the cable.
• If there are multiple seals, select a seal that ts your cable
diameter.
• Push the housing with a seal over the cable.
• Strip 50 mm of the outer jacket.
• Shorten conductors N, L1, L2, and L3 by 8 mm, but keep PE
(protection earth) at 50 mm.
• Strip 12 mm of the conductor insulation.
ASSEMBLY
Follow the steps to assemble IQ Field Wireable Connectors for three-phase connections.
FEMALE MALE
Loosening the cable
• Loosen the cable gland.
• Use the screwdriver to release the contact carrier on both sides.
• Pull the contact carrier from the housing.
• Loosen the screws on the contact carrier and loosen the wires.

equipment malfunction. Use extreme caution and follow
instructions carefully.
;WARNING: Risk of burn. Failure to follow instructions may
result in burn injury.
✓NOTE: This indicates information particularly important
for optimal system operation.
SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
SAVE THIS INFORMATION.
Follow all safety and assembly instructions when installing IQ
Field Wireable Connectors.
Safety Instructions
+DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Risk of re. Ensure that all AC and DC wiring is correct and that none of the AC wires
are pinched, shorted, or damaged.
+DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Risk of re. Do not at- tempt to repair or alter the IQ Field Wireable Connector.
+DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Risk of re. Make sure the conductors are not damaged. If the exposed wires are
damaged, the system may not function properly.
*WARNING: Risk of equipment damage. Enphase male and female connectors must only be mated with the matching
male/female connector.
*WARNING: Risk of equipment damage. This product is
intended for operation with a maximum operating temper-
ature of 110ºC.
*WARNING: When installing the cabling, secure any loose
cable to minimize tripping hazard.
*WARNING: Before installing or using the IQ Field Wireable
Connector, read all instructions and cautionary markings
in the technical description, on the Enphase System, and
on the photovoltaic (PV) equipment.
*WARNING: Never plug in or disconnect the connectors
under load. The connectors are not suitable for interrupt-
ing the current.
*WARNING: Without earthing connection.
✓NOTE: Maintenance and cleaning must be performed by
qualied personnel.
✓NOTE: Using unapproved attachments or accessories
may result in damage or injury.
✓NOTE: When looping the IQ Cable, do not form loops small-
er than 12 cm in diameter.
✓NOTE: Perform all electrical installations in accordance
with all applicable local electrical codes.
✓NOTE: To ensure optimal reliability and to meet warranty
requirements, install the IQ Field Wireable Connectors
according to the instructions in this guide.
✓NOTE: Protection against lightning and resulting voltage
surge must be in accordance with local standards.
✓NOTE: The connector is considered to be in compliance
only when assembled in the manner specied by these
assembly instructions.
✓NOTE: For exible wires, we recommend using ferrules ac-
count to DIN 46228 that are crimped with jointing clamp.
✓NOTE: Cable used with IQ Field Wireable Connectors must
meet the following requirements:
• Min/max outer insulation diameter (including the
clear second insulator): 8 mm/21 mm
• Wire size: 2.5 mm2to 6 mm2
DISCONNECT (if needed)
To disconnect three-phase IQ Field Wireable Connectors, release the
two connectors by pressing down the snap with a screwdriver. You can
then separate the connectors.
