Hangchi's Low Profile Side Clamps are side-mounting clamps specifically designed for photovoltaic module mounting systems, aiming to save installation space and optimize airflow beneath the modules. Their ultra-thin design (total height typically less than 25 mm) effectively resists wind uplift forces while minimizing obstruction to the module backsheet. The product is suitable for side mounting of various standard framed modules.

Common Materials
● Die-cast aluminum alloy (e.g., ALSi10Mg): The mainstream choice, using high-precision die-casting to ensure the complex structure is formed in one piece, and treated with anodizing or powder coating for a balance of lightweight and good corrosion resistance.
● Stainless steel (A2/A4-70/80): Used in ultra-high corrosive environments (such as coastal salt spray, chemical plants) or projects with special fire rating requirements.
Core Manufacturing Processes
High-pressure precision die-casting: This is key to forming complex thin-walled structures. A high-pressure die-casting machine injects molten aluminum alloy at high speed into a precision mold, forming a complete structure with internal reinforcing ribs in a single step, directly determining the product's basic strength, lightweight properties, and dimensional accuracy.
T5/T6 heat treatment strengthening: This is crucial for improving material performance. Solution treatment and artificial aging of the die-cast aluminum alloy parts increase their yield strength and hardness (usually by more than 30%), fundamentally compensating for the rigidity potentially lost due to the low-profile design.
CNC precision machining: This is key to ensuring installation compatibility. CNC precision machining is performed on the die-cast parts, especially the grooves and bolt holes that engage with the rails, controlling critical dimensional tolerances within ±0.1mm to ensure precise and secure fitting with the rails and module frames.

Q&A
Q: Can you customize?
A: Yes. While the standard range is 25-50mm, customization mainly depends on the thickness of the component's frame. Other factors such as size and material can also be adjusted.
Q: What surface treatments are available?
A: Mainly anodizing, electrophoresis, and passivation, all for rust prevention and adaptability to different environments.
