Hermetic Sealed - One Step Process
Why Hermetic Sealed?
One Step Process
What is the meaning of Hermetic Sealed?
Hermetic Sealed is a one step overmolding process.
In a one step process the connector is molded into its final shape and makes a solid
connection with the cable. No screws or extra parts are needed. The overmolding forms a
permanent hermetic sealing around the cable and contact
(fig 1).
Yamaichi has developed this technology for the connectors Y-Sol3, Y-Sol3 T-Junction, Y-Sol4
and for the Thin Film Junction Box. These products come ready-to-plug to the customer.
100% tested for easy and safe assembly.
For worldwide usage, the products are tested and certified by TÜV and UL.

Customer advantages with our cable assemblies
The
Hermetic Sealed technology combines the advantages of cost and quality
- Less installation time required„
because of overmolded cable assemblies
which are pre-assembled and ready-to-plug“.
- Permanent and safe operation of the PV plant. Y-Sol
connectors fulfil the IP68 protection
class. The overmolding process protects the inner parts and contacts.
- Safe power transmission of up to 30A.
- Standard products are available as well as customised solutions.
- Long life time of the complete assembly even under harsh environmental conditions.
- Cross linked cables are used as standard.
Customer advantages with our Thin Film Junction Box
The TF J-Box from Yamaichi is delivered with cables and overmolded connectors.
In addition to the advantages of our cable assemblies, the Hermetic Sealed
TF J-Box has the following features:
- Delivered as a pre-assembled Hermetic Sealed system, complete with cables
and connectors.
- Configuration according to customer requirements.
- Fully overmolded integrated bypass diode. This guarantees safe operation under
different lighting conditions or shadowing.
- The Hermetic Sealed diode is homogenously surrounded by plastic material. Heat generated
by the diode is absorbed. This means reduced stress on the diode and longer life time
(fig 2).

overmolded
fig 2. The bypass diode is overmolded by plastic material.
During shadowing the diode will heat up.This heat is absorbed
and eliminated. The plastic material has a 30 times higher heat
conductivity than air.
