Terminal plates (30) are juxtaposed on a base plate (11) for electrically connecting positive and negative electrodes of a solar battery module (90) to cables (80) for external connection. A rectifying device (50) spans between adjacent terminal plates (30). Each rectifying device (50) has a bypass diode (52) and a metal clip (53) resiliently holds the bypass diode (52). A heat discharging sheet (40) is attached to the lower surface of the clip (53) for discharging heat generated by the bypass diode (52). Heat discharged from a heat discharging surface (40A) of the heat discharging sheet (40) is received by a heat receiving surface (90A) of the solar battery module (90) via a through hole (11B) formed in the base plate (11) and is discharged efficiently from the solar battery module (90).
A terminal box for an electric or electronic device in which terminal plates (30) for electrically connecting positive and negative electrodes of an electric or electronic module are arranged on a base plate (11), and at least one rectifying device (50) for bypass at the time of an inverse load spans between two corresponding terminal plates (30), wherein at least one heat discharging element (40) is attached to the rectifying device (50) for discharging heat generated by the rectifying device (50).
A method of assembling a terminal box for an electric or electronic device, comprising:
