I have a spare. They are not kept in the socket but are loose in a
bag. Send me your mailing address off list. I leave tomorrow
for a week, so I hope I see your address before I go.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Just completed a large residential
grid/gen/solar/battery system using a XW6048 inverter.<br><br>
We are using a SunnyBoy inverter at the array and doing an AC coupled
backfeed. To do this we have installed a heavy duty relay in the
output of the SunnyBoy, and are using the aux. relay contacts on the XW
unit to close this relay when battery voltage is at high limit (during no
load power outage to prevent over-charging)<br><br>
Not sure if we lost it during installation, if it shook loose in shipment
and fell out, or was missing to begin with, but to connect to the aux.
contacts in th XW requires a very small green flat 5-pin connector which
is missing.<br><br>
I contacted multiple people at Xantrex and their service center, waded
through their web site, and finally talked to a service tech. He
advised that "he was looking for an extra one of these connectors 6
months ago and still has not received it, as these compoments are made
and assembled in China and they do not stock anything that is considered
an assembly part used in China to build their units."<br><br>
First, I did not realize these inverters were being assembled in China,
and second, who ever heard of not stocking a replacement part just
because its made in China. If that were true, 95% of everything
sold today in US would not be able to order replacement parts.<br><br>
Anybody out their know if there is a Radio Shack type supplier where I
can order a bag of these and get on with the system startup and my
life?<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>
