Abstract
A conductor strip connection device for a junction box of a solar module is disclosed and comprises a contact member and a press-fitting member. The contact member has a contact segment for connecting to a conductor strip and having at least one first engaging element. The press-fitting member has a suppressing part and at least one second engaging element, wherein the suppressing part is configured to cooperate with the contact segment of the contact member for securing the conductor strip, and the second engaging element is configured to engage with the first engaging element of the contact member for assembling the press-fitting member with the contact member.
Claims13
A junction box, comprising:
- a housing having an opening for introducing a plurality of conductor strips thereinto;
- and
- an electrical connection mechanism disposed in a receptacle of said housing and comprising:
- a plurality of conductor strip connection devices separately disposed on an inner surface of said housing for connecting to said conductor strips;
- and
- a current-path arrangement module comprising a plurality of electricity conveying elements and a plurality of electronic components, wherein said electricity conveying elements are connected with said conductor strip connection devices respectively, and each said electronic component is connected with two adjacent electricity conveying elements;
- wherein each of said conductor strip connection devices comprises:
- a contact member having a contact segment and at least one first engaging element;
- and
- a press-fitting member having a suppressing part, a first extending arm, a second extending arm, and at least one second engaging element, wherein said suppressing part is configured to cooperate with said contact segment of said contact member for securing a corresponding conductor strip, said first extending arm and said second extending arm are connected with and extending downwardly from two opposite side edges of said suppressing part, respectively, and said second engaging element is configured to engage with said first engaging element of said contact member for assembling said press-fitting member with said contact member.
