Abstract:
1. A terminal box for a solar battery module, comprising: a box main body; first and second terminal plates arranged in the box main body, the first terminal plate being connectable with one of positive and negative electrodes of the solar battery module and connectable with one of respective cables for external connection, the second terminal plate being connectable with one of positive and negative electrodes of the solar battery module, each of the first and second terminal plates being formed as a single, unitary strip; a third terminal plate unitarily formed with the second terminal plate via a coupling portion, the third terminal plate not being connected with the solar battery module and being shorter than and parallel to the first and second terminal plates, the third terminal plate having a leading end thereof surrounded by partition walls; at least a first unitary conductor piece formed separately from the terminal plates, the first unitary conductor piece having a terminal-side contact connected with the first terminal plate and a device-side contact extending towards the third terminal plate; and a rectifying-device main body being held between the device-side contact of the first conductor piece and the third terminal plate, the rectifying-device main body being directly connected with the device-side contact of the first unitary conductor piece and the third terminal plate.
