The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0018] Example Reference Figure 1-8 This embodiment of the present invention provides a connector for photovoltaic cables, including a connection module 100, comprising an elastic sleeve 101, a tightening member 102 adapted to be installed on one side of the elastic sleeve 101, a tightening member base 103 adapted to be installed on the other side of the elastic sleeve 101, a male connector housing 104 rotatably connected to the side wall end of the tightening member base 103, and a female connector housing 105 fixedly connected to the side wall end of the male connector housing 104; and a reinforcement module 200, comprising an upper cover 201 snapped onto one side of the male connector housing 104, and a lower cover 202 snapped onto the other side of the male connector housing 104, wherein the side walls of the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 are provided with matching slots, and the other ends of the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 are fitted onto the outside of the female connector housing 105.

[0019] The tightening member 102 is fixed to the tightening member base 103 by screws, and the elastic kit 101 is pressed to fix the cable. The male connector housing 104 is rotated and fixed to the tightening member base 103. The female connector housing 105 is fixed to the male connector housing 104 by a buckle. Finally, the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 are used to reinforce the whole.

[0020] Specifically, the connection module 100 also includes an insulating sleeve 106 fixedly installed on the side wall of the cable, and the insulating sleeve 106 has a cable mounting hole at its center.

[0021] The cable passes through the tightening member 102 and the tightening member base 103, and the insulating sleeve 106 fixes the cable.

[0022] Furthermore, the connection module 100 also includes a connector plug 107 fixed inside the center of the male housing 104, with the cable core passing through the tightening base 103 and inserted into the center of the side wall of the connector plug 107.

[0023] The cable core is tightly inserted into the connector plug 107, waiting to be connected to the connector socket 109.

[0024] Preferably, the connecting module 100 further includes an elastic buckle 108 that is inserted into the side wall of the male connector housing 104, and the elastic buckle 108 is evenly distributed in the reserved groove at the end of the male connector housing 104.
