Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to connector technology, in particular to an anti-loosening photovoltaic connector and a cable assembly thereof. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaics are connected by cables, but the middle of the cables needs to be connected to achieve longer distance transmission.

However, after long-term use, the elasticity of the strand spring is often reduced, and the squeezed negative metal part becomes loose, resulting in excessive resistance at the contact point. After power is turned on, it continues to heat up and eventually burns the connector, or even causes a fire. Utility Model Content

The limiting plates 7 are symmetrically arranged, and a mounting opening 8 is formed in the middle of the limiting plates 7. The mounting opening 8 is used to limit the first connection terminal 2 and the second connection terminal 3 so that they can be limited in the middle of the symmetrically arranged blocking member 5. A through hole 9 is provided in the middle of the blocking plate 6, and the through hole 9 is used for the cable 10 to pass through, so as to keep the cable 10 fixed to the first connection terminal 2 and the second connection terminal 3.

[0028] The first connection terminal 2 is composed of a first column 11 and a first contact body 12, and a plurality of strip grooves 13 are provided on the first column 11.
