Polyphenylene ether for photovoltaic junction box

Polyphenylene ether is a high-performance plastic that is ideally suited for
heat-resistant parts, insulating parts, wear-reducing and abrasion-resistant
parts, transmission parts, as well as parts in the medical and electronics
fields. It can withstand high temperatures, so it is often used to make parts
such as gears, air blades, valves, etc., and can even replace stainless
steel. In addition, polyphenylene ether can be used to make screws, fasteners
and connectors, as well as parts of motor rotors and transformers.
The application of polyphenylene ether in the photovoltaic industry is also
crucial. Solar cells are the core of solar power systems, but a single solar
cell can only produce 0.5-0.6 volts, which is far below the voltage required
for practical use. In order to meet the actual demand, multiple solar panels
must be combined into a solar cell square array via PV connectors to obtain
the required voltage and current. However, PV connectors operate in harsh
environments, where safety and longevity are key issues, so connectors with
high reliability are needed, and polyphenylene ether is the ideal material to
meet this need.
