Abstract
A solar plug connection for photovoltaic systems, having a contact housing and a terminal housing. The terminal housing can be connected to the contact housing and is used to receive at least one solar cable which can be freely assembled and which includes a conductor. The contact housing is equipped with a contact pin for contacting the conductor of a cable to be connected. The contact housing is equipped with a thread that interacts with a thread provided on the terminal housing in order to introduce the contact pin into the conductor of the cable from the front in a defined manner when screwing together the contact housing and the terminal housing.
Claims12
A solar plug connection for photovoltaic installations comprising at least one contact housing and at least one connection housing,
- wherein the connection housing is connectable to the contact housing and serves for receiving at least one freely assemblable cable,
- wherein a contact needle for making contact with the conductor of a cable to be connected is arranged on the contact housing, and in that a thread is arranged on the contact housing, said thread being provided for interacting with a thread provided on the connection housing, in order to introduce the contact needle into the conductor of the cable from a front in a defined manner when screwing together the contact housing and the connection housing;
- wherein an anti-withdrawal securing means comprises a spring device having a plurality of spring tongues, wherein the rear ends of the spring tongues arranged closer to the rear end of the connection housing are situated radially further outward than the front ends of the spring tongues arranged further forward, and wherein the rear ends of the spring tongues are supported on the connection housing toward the rear.
