Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of a junction box, and more specifically, to a junction box for a photovoltaic component. Background Art

[0002] Junction box refers to a device used to connect wires and cables in electrical equipment. Junction box can provide a safe environment to connect wires and cables to protect the wire connection points from external environment damage, such as moisture, dust, etc., so as to ensure the stability and long-term reliability of the connection points and reduce the failure rate.

[0003] The junction box includes a box cover and a shell with an opening at the top. The box cover and the shell are fixedly connected by bolts. A through hole for the power supply line to pass through is opened on the side of the shell. The ends of two or more wires are inserted into the through holes on different sides and gathered in the shell, and then electrically connected in the shell. The connection method is usually to wrap the two wires together and then wrap them with insulating tape. However, this connection method requires reserving a certain length of wire ends in the shell, pulling the wire ends out of the shell for connection, and then reinserting them into the shell after the connection is made. As a result, more cables are gathered in the shell, which not only causes magnetic interference, but also heats up at the joints, which poses a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0007] Preferably, the wiring device further comprises a fuse, and the first wiring post and the second wiring post are electrically connected via the fuse.

[0008] Preferably, the thickness of the substrate is greater than the depth formed by two adjacent card strips.

[0009] Preferably, a through hole is formed at the top of the terminal post, a threaded hole communicating with the through hole is formed at the upper end surface of the terminal post, and a locking screw is threadedly connected in the threaded hole.

[0010] Preferably, the length of the locking screw is smaller than the depth of the threaded hole, and the depth of the threaded hole is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the through hole.
