Esdec Universal Mid Clamp with Bonding: Versatile Clamping with Integrated Safety

Streamline the installation of your solar panels while ensuring electrical safety with the Esdec Universal Mid Clamp with Bonding. This clamp securely holds adjacent panels together on compatible Esdec mounting structures (like the FlatFix Fusion Base Profile or potentially ClickFit Evo rails - always verify compatibility). Its key advantage is the integrated bonding mechanism, which helps create electrical continuity between panel frames and the mounting structure for effective grounding. A properly grounded system is crucial for safety and reliable long-term energy production, helping you manage energy costs.

Universal Fit Meets Electrical Bonding

This clamp combines two key benefits often sought by installers:

• Wide Panel Compatibility: The 'universal' design is engineered to accommodate a broad range of common solar panel frame heights (typically 30mm to 50mm – confirm specific range via datasheet), reducing the need to stock multiple clamp sizes.
• Integrated Bonding: Incorporates sharp teeth or edges designed to pierce the anodised coating on aluminium panel frames when tightened. This establishes an electrical connection, facilitating the grounding path through the mounting system structure and potentially reducing the need for separate grounding lugs or wires in some configurations (always follow local electrical codes and Esdec guidelines).
• Standard Finish: This version comes in a standard mill finish aluminium, matching uncoloured rails and profiles. It is also available in Black.

Reliable Mechanical Connection

In addition to its bonding feature, this mid clamp provides a strong mechanical connection between panels and the mounting rail/profile below. When installed with the correct Esdec fastener (such as the M6x12 screw where appropriate) and tightened to the specified torque, it ensures panels are held securely against environmental forces.

Esdec Quality and Warranty Assurance

Manufactured from high-quality aluminium or stainless steel to Esdec's rigorous standards, this clamp offers excellent durability and corrosion resistance. Using genuine Esdec components, including bonding clamps where specified, is essential for complying with the system's engineering requirements and maintaining the comprehensive Esdec warranty.
