Patent ID: 7931488

Claim:
A connection and junction box ( 1 ) for a photovoltaic solar module ( 24 ) having flexible flat conductor bands ( 28 ) protruding from a surface of the solar module, wherein the connection and junction box ( 1 ) has an insertion mouth ( 26 ) at a side facing the solar module in mounted state, for at least one flexible flat conductor band ( 28 ) of the solar module ( 24 ), and comprises a housing ( 2 ) for attaching on the solar module ( 24 ), and a connection device for the flexible flat conductor band ( 28 ), positioned in the housing, wherein the connection device ( 20 ) has a first contacting device ( 44 ) with an electrical contact clamp ( 22 ), which defines an open mounting state, in which the flat conductor band ( 28 ) is insertable into the connection device ( 20 ) in a catch area ( 30 ) of the contact clamp ( 22 ), and which contact clamp ( 22 ) defines a closed contacting state, in which the flat conductor band is electrically contacted in the contact clamp ( 22 ), and wherein the connection and junction box ( 1 ) comprises an actuation element ( 18 ) for closing the contact clamp ( 22 ) for establishing an electrical contact with the flat conductor band ( 28 ).
