PV connector factory at a glance

Treasol is a solar PV connector and wire harness manufacturer in Dongguan, China. This page documents the production lines, tooling workshop and test equipment used to make its connectors, fuse connectors, diode connectors, junction boxes and harness assemblies.

The catalogue covers cable couplers (CN4U-C), panel connectors (CN4U-P), Y and T branch connectors, in-line fuse (F4C) and diode (D4A/D4B) connectors, PV junction boxes, built-to-drawing wiring harnesses, H1Z2Z2-K PV cable and assembly tools. Products are rated up to 1500 V DC with IP65, IP67 and IP68 options, and hold TÜV Rheinland, UL, CE and RoHS documentation depending on the product family.

Terminals are bought in from stamping and plating suppliers working to our drawings. Each incoming lot is checked for dimensions, plating and insertion force. Crimping, seating, overmoulding and final testing stay in-house, because those steps decide whether the joint holds.

Where this page fits: About Us covers the company and its process stages. PV connector manufacturing explains the process and the standards behind it. This page lists the equipment that does the work, for buyers who need to see what a plant has before placing an order or booking an audit.

Equipment by production stage

Eight stages, with the machine or instrument used at each one. About Us describes the process sequence itself.

STEP 01

Incoming inspection

Terminals, resin, seals and cable are checked against the drawing before release to the line.

Incoming gauges for dimensions, plating and insertion force
STEP 02

Injection moulding

Housings, latches and sealing parts are moulded from the approved resin grade. First-off parts are measured every time a mould goes back on a machine.

Moulding machines, mould temperature controllers, hopper dryers
STEP 03

Tooling and mould care

Moulds are numbered and inspected on a fixed cycle. Worn latch or thread details are reworked before the next production run.

Mould store, toolroom, maintenance register
STEP 04

Crimping

Each cable class has its own die set. Crimp height and width are measured with a gauge rather than judged by eye.

Crimping machines, die sets, crimp height gauges; joint validation to IEC 62852 Annex E and IPC/WHMA-A-620
STEP 05

Assembly

Seal, latch and contact are seated with fixtures that hold the geometry, so the mating face stays in tolerance.

Assembly benches, pneumatic press fixtures, seating tools
STEP 06

Overmoulding and potting

Harness joints are overmoulded. Junction box cavities are potted where the design asks for it.

Vertical moulding machines, insert fixtures
STEP 07

Electrical and mechanical test

Withstand voltage, continuity and polarity, contact resistance, pull-out force, salt spray and IP checks.

Withstand voltage tester, load current and contact resistance sets, force testers, salt spray and IP rigs
STEP 08

Packing and labelling

Parts are counted, bagged or reeled, and labelled with part number, quantity and batch code.

Counting and bagging station, labeller, weighing scale

Production areas, in process order

Seven areas of the plant, following the order a connector or a harness passes through them.

Injection moulding machines producing solar PV connector housings at the Treasol factory

Injection moulding

Housings, cable nuts, locking latches and seals are moulded in-house. Moulding sits next to assembly, so a colour or resin question is settled the same day instead of waiting on a supplier sample.

Machine parameters, resin grade and colour are recorded for each run. First-off parts are measured before the batch is released.

  • Mating and sealing features measured on first-off parts
  • Colour and surface compared with the approved sample

Tooling and mould maintenance

This is the mould store. Each mould is numbered and inspected on a fixed cycle. Cores, latch details and sealing grooves are reworked in the toolroom before wear shows up in a finished part.

When a drawing changes, whether it is a cable range, a panel cut-out or a marking, the change is made on the tool and confirmed with a first-article sample.

  • Mould register with maintenance intervals
  • Toolroom rework before a worn detail reaches production
  • First-article approval after a tooling change

Crimping and assembly

Crimping gets its own die set per cable class, and the result is measured with a gauge for compression height and width. Pull-out force is checked on samples from the run.

Assembly uses seating fixtures so the seal and latch sit at the geometry the mould was cut for. A latch pressed a fraction high comes back as a field failure two years later.

  • Die set matched to conductor class and terminal part number
  • Crimp height and width recorded per setting
  • Pull-out force verified on production samples

Harness assembly

Harness work has more terminations per item and more routing than a single connector. Leg lengths and branch positions come off the customer drawing, and the person crimping and the person testing read the same sheet.

Finished harnesses are coiled and labelled so a site electrician can match the assembly in the crate to the one on the drawing.

  • Leg lengths and branch positions taken from the drawing
  • Terminations crimped with the die set for that cable class

Harness overmoulding and potting

On harness assemblies the cable to connector joint is overmoulded instead of taped or heat-shrunk. Where a junction box design calls for it, potting compound fills the cavity around the contacts.

Both routes aim at the same thing: ingress protection that survives thermal cycling comes from a moulded or potted interface, not from a gasket that can be fitted wrongly on site.

  • Overmoulding on vertical machines with insert fixtures
  • Potting applied where the junction box design requires it

In-process and final inspection

Checks sit where a defect becomes expensive: incoming material, first-off after a mould change, crimp settings, and the finished assembly. Finished parts go through the electrical test sequence before they reach packing.

Results are recorded against the batch, so an audit can walk a carton back to the moulding run and the crimp die behind it.

  • Four checkpoints: incoming, first-off, in-process, final
  • Electrical test result recorded per batch
  • Retained samples kept against future orders

Packing and labelling

Connectors are counted, bagged or reeled, and labelled with part number, quantity and batch code. Distributor and OEM orders can carry the buyer's own label and carton marking.

Packing follows the order: the same connector may ship as a loose bag for a harness shop and as a reel for an automated line.

  • Batch code on every carton, matching the production record
  • Buyer label, carton marking and inner packing per order

Test laboratory and inspection equipment

Electrical, mechanical, climatic and ingress-protection equipment used for routine and type testing.

Test families follow IEC 62852 (2014 + AMD1:2020) and EN 62852 for connectors, IEC 62790 for junction boxes, and EN 50618 and IEC 62930 for PV cable. UL 6703 and UL 3730 apply where the certificate scope calls for them.

Ingress protection
Fuse tester for in-line fuse connectors

Fuse tester

Continuity and fuse element check on in-line fuse connectors before packing.

Fuse connector line

Instrument models, measurement ranges and calibration certificates are not listed here. They go out with the equipment list during a factory audit, or with the quotation for a part number, because the laboratory grows as new product families are added.

Where inspection sits in the process

Four checkpoints. Each one leaves a record that stays with the batch.

Checkpoint What is checked Record
Incoming (IQC) Terminal dimensions and coating to IEC 62852 and EN 62852, housing resin grade and colour, seal hardness and dimensions, cable marking and conductor size to EN 50618 and IEC 62930. Incoming lot record linked to the supplier lot
In-process (IPQC) First-off dimensions after a mould change, crimp height and width at the start of a run, seal and latch seating. First-off sheet and crimp setting sheet
Final (FQC) Withstand voltage, insulation resistance, continuity and polarity, contact resistance, pull-out force on samples, appearance against the approved sample. These are the electrical and mechanical test families called up by IEC 62852. Electrical test result per batch
Outgoing (OQC) Quantity, part number and batch label, inner packing, carton marking, documents required by the order. Packing list and shipping label check

Batch traceability and documentation

One code on the carton resolves to four records.

BATCH CODE on every carton and label
01

Moulding run

Resin lot, machine and shift.

02

Crimp setting

Die set, compression height and width.

03

Electrical test

Withstand voltage, continuity and contact resistance result for that run.

04

Order documents

Certificate reference for the part number and the batch test record.

Records are retrieved by batch code during an audit, not by date. Certificate PDFs are supplied with quotation documents rather than published on this site.

Capacity, lead time and what is quoted per part number

Two scopes. One is published here; the other is confirmed per part number.

Published on this page

  • Production stages and the equipment at each one
  • Test laboratory instruments
  • Inspection checkpoints and batch traceability
  • Factory audit policy

Stated in the quotation

  • Monthly capacity for the part number
  • Number of moulds available
  • Sample and production lead time
  • Packing method and unit price

A cable coupler and a multi-leg harness do not use the same machine time or the same mould, so one plant-wide figure would mislead more than it informs. If capacity forms part of a tender requirement, say so in the enquiry and it is confirmed in writing. Request a quotation.

Factory audit questions

The questions buyers, distributors and inspection agencies ask before a plant visit.

Does Treasol accept third-party factory audits?

Yes. Treasol hosts customer audits and third-party inspections at the Dongguan plant, including visits arranged by buying offices and testing agencies. Audit dates are scheduled with the sales contact handling the enquiry.

Which production steps are in-house and which are bought in?

Moulding, crimping, assembly, overmoulding and all electrical and mechanical testing are carried out in-house. Terminals are purchased from stamping and plating suppliers working to Treasol drawings, and every incoming lot is inspected before release to the line.

What test equipment is available in the laboratory?

The laboratory is equipped with a withstand voltage tester, a maximum load current test set, a contact resistance tester, a pull-out force tester, a salt spray chamber, an 85 °C / 85 % RH damp heat chamber, an IP rating test rig and a fuse tester for the in-line fuse connector line.

Can the equipment list and calibration records be shared?

Yes. The equipment list with instrument models and measurement ranges is issued with a quotation or during a factory audit, together with the certificate reference applicable to the part number and the electrical test record for the batch.

What is the monthly production capacity?

Monthly capacity depends on the part number, because a cable coupler and a multi-leg harness use different machine time and different moulds. Capacity, sample lead time and production lead time are stated in the quotation for the item being sourced.

How does a batch trace back to its production records?

Each carton carries a batch code that resolves to the moulding run and resin lot, the crimp die and compression setting, and the electrical test result for that run. Records are retrieved by batch code during an audit.

Which standards cover the tests run in this laboratory?

Connector tests follow IEC 62852 (2014 + AMD1:2020) and EN 62852, with UL 6703 where the certificate scope calls for it. Junction box tests follow IEC 62790 and UL 3730, and PV cable checks follow EN 50618 and IEC 62930. Crimp joints are validated against IEC 62852 Annex E and IPC/WHMA-A-620.

Need the equipment list, or a factory audit?

Send the part number or the product family you are sourcing. We will return the equipment list, the certificate reference and the test records with the quotation. Customer and third-party audits are welcome, and buyers, distributors and inspection agencies are hosted at the plant in Dongguan.
