Esdec Universal Mid Clamp with Bonding Black: Versatile & Safe Panel Clamping

Achieve secure mechanical fixing and integrated electrical bonding for your solar panels with the Esdec Universal Mid Clamp in black. This versatile clamp is designed to hold adjacent panels firmly onto compatible Esdec mounting structures, such as the FlatFix Fusion Base Profile or potentially ClickFit Evo rails (verify system compatibility). Crucially, it incorporates bonding technology, contributing to the essential electrical safety grounding of the array – vital for system protection and helping you reliably generate power to manage your energy costs now and in the future (April 8th, 2025).

Universal Fit with Integrated Bonding

This clamp offers significant advantages for installers:

• Panel Height Versatility: The 'universal' design typically accommodates a wide range of standard solar panel frame heights (e.g., 30mm to 50mm), reducing the need for multiple clamp sizes on a job. Always confirm the exact range via the product datasheet.
• Built-in Bonding: Features teeth or elements designed to penetrate the panel frame's anodised layer upon tightening, creating electrical continuity between panel frames and the mounting structure (e.g., the Base Profile). This simplifies the grounding process. Also available without the black coating: Universal Mid Clamp with Bonding.
• Aesthetic Match: The black finish ensures a sleek look when used with black-framed panels and other black components like the FlatFix End Clamp or ClickFit Evo End Caps.

Secure Mechanical Fixing

Beyond bonding, this mid clamp provides a strong mechanical grip between two panels, securing them firmly to the underlying rail or profile. When tightened correctly with the appropriate screw (like the M6x12 black screw where specified), it ensures the panels remain fixed against wind, snow, and thermal expansion forces, as outlined in Esdec's system design documentation.

Durability and System Warranty

Constructed from high-quality aluminium or stainless steel with a durable black coating, this clamp is built for long-term outdoor exposure. As a genuine Esdec component, its use is essential for maintaining the validity of the comprehensive Esdec system warranty, typically extending up to 20 years, offering significant peace of mind.
