And it does not help that MC connectors are only one of several types, such as Tyco and others.

Jeff: This is not the first time this has happened. QC problems left us without the bulkhead MC connectors for 2 months some time ago. I've ranted before about requiring specialized hardware. The practice increases costs and restricts supply. I prefer the gold old days where commonly available NMLT and THWN were the only materials required. Top down procedures have made this obsolete, alas... There are third party options now. Have you tried Wieland Electric? Good luck. William Miller At 06:56 PM 3/24/2010, you wrote: We normally keep a good supply of pre-made module MC4 M/F cables in stock, but several recent large projects really lowered our inventory. No problem, I will just call our suppliers and order more. Wrong! Am I the last installer on earth to find out there are no more MC4 connectors? After checking into this I heard something about a "run" on these conenctors due to problems with supplier, but don't really know the story. Does anybody know what is going on - is this a 2 week delay type problem, or are we all going to have multiple $50,000.00 jobs on hold for months while we wait for a handfull of $4 connectors?
