Terminal box for a solar battery module, a rectifying-device unit

摘要

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 ).
