A terminal box for a solar battery module, a rectifying-device unit and a method of assembling a terminal box

摘要

An object of the present invention is to ensure good heat discharging characteristics.

<Paragraphs id="pa02" num="0002" xmlns:base="http://www.sipo.gov.cn/XMLSchema/base">A terminal box for a solar battery module is provided with a plurality of terminal plates 30 juxtaposed on a base plate 11 and connectable with positive and negative electrodes of the solar battery module, cables for external connection connectable with the terminal plates 30, and rectifying-device units 50 each of which spans between two corresponding terminal plates 30. Each rectifying-device unit 50 includes a bypass diode 52 connectable with the two corresponding terminal plates 30 to prevent an inverse current, and a metal-made clip 53 for resiliently holding the bypass diode 52. The clip 53 is held in contact with a heat discharging plate 55 of the bypass diode 52 to discharge heat generated by the bypass diode 52.
