Abstract:
1. A terminal box for a solar battery module, comprising: a box main body including a base plate and a side plate projecting up from an outer peripheral edge of the base plate, receiving projections projecting from the base plate at positions inwardly of the side plate, a plurality of terminal plates in the box main body and connectable with positive and negative electrodes of the solar battery module, cables for external connection connectable with the terminal plates, a rectifying-device casing detachably mounted in the box main body between the receiving projections of the base plate, at least one rectifying device for spanning between two corresponding terminal plates, wherein the rectifying device includes a rectifying-device main body and a pair of lead pieces, each of the lead pieces having a contact connected to the rectifying device main body, the rectifying-device main body and the contacts of the lead pieces being disposed in the rectifying-device casing, each of the lead pieces further having an extending end disposed externally of the rectifying-device casing and disposed adjacent the respective terminal plates; and a threaded connection member detachably connecting the extending ends of the lead pieces with the respective two terminal plates, wherein, upon exchanging a broken rectifying device, the rectifying device is removed by detaching the extending ends of the lead pieces from the respective two terminal plates and lifting the rectifying-device casing from the receiving projections of the base plate.
