[0002] Photovoltaic connectors (also known as MC4 connectors; although MC4 is a specific brand name, it has become a generic term for this type of connector) are primarily used for series or parallel connections between solar panels, as well as connections between panels and inverters. The basic structure of a photovoltaic connector typically includes a housing, metal terminals, and sealing rings.

[0003] At present, the metal terminals of photovoltaic connectors are composed of a basic structural combination of a metal terminal body, a cable crimping joint, a spring and a drum spring. The drum spring needs to be installed using an automatic machine during the processing process. The drum spring is easily deformed during the installation process and when the metal terminal is used, which can easily affect the pressure exerted by the drum spring on the pin, resulting in poor contact, poor resistance and even heat generation. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0011] Preferably, the first elastic piece, the second elastic piece and the supporting piece are all distributed in a circular shape with equal intervals around the inner side of the pressurizing sleeve.

[0012] Preferably, the support sheet has a wavy bending structure.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] (1) This device can improve the pressurizing performance of the pressurizing component, while avoiding deformation of the pressurizing component, ensuring close contact between the pressurizing component and the pin when pressurizing to avoid poor contact.

[0015] (2) This device provides a first spring sheet and a second spring sheet with an inwardly recessed arc structure on the inner side of the pressurizing sleeve. The arc-shaped convex parts of the first spring sheet and the second spring sheet can apply pressure to the plug pin by utilizing the characteristics of their shape. At the same time, a support sheet with a wavy bending structure is provided between the first spring sheet and the second spring sheet to support and pressurize the second spring sheet, thereby preventing the second spring sheet from being easily deformed and facilitating the separation of the second spring sheet from the plug-in.
