Abstract: A connecting device for connecting to an electrical connection system of a solar module includes a connector housing to be arranged on an outer surface of the solar module and also at least one conductor component, which is arranged in the connector housing. At least one connection mechanism is provided with connecting device, and formed for connecting to a conductor, which is led out of the solar module, of the electrical connection system of the solar module. The connection mechanism has at least one resilient contact region, which is embodied for contacting the led-out conductor in a contacting position, the connection mechanism also includes at least one engagement portion, which is embodied for engaging a tool in order to move the resilient contact region out of its contacting position. This allows the connector housing to be attached to the connector housing in a largely automated manner and to be connected to a led-out conductor of the connection system.

Abstract: A connecting device that connects to at least one external electrical conductor of a photovoltaic solar module. The connecting device includes a plurality of busbars, a support element, a housing, a diode and a contact. The plurality of busbars are arranged next to one another, while the support element is attached to the plurality of busbars and includes a bottom face to be positioned on the solar module. The housing is positioned over the support element and the plurality of busbars and includes an edge surrounding the support element and the plurality of busbars when the overhousing is positioned on the solar module. The diode fits onto the plurality of busbars and includes diode leads that fit onto one of the plurality of busbars, such that the plurality of busbars are connected together through the diode.

Abstract: An electrical contact element which is suitable for attaching and contacting in metallized bores, for example of a printed-circuit board, is specified; the contact element having a pressing-in region and a connection region, which adjoins the pressing-region via a transitional region; the pressing-in region comprising two layers of a metal sheet; the layers being arranged on each other symmetrically with respect to a plane between the layers, each of the layers having a slot formed between two contact limbs, the layers being curved away from each other, at least in the region of the slot, with the outer sides of the contact limbs diverging.

Abstract: A spring clamp terminal for clamping connection to a conductor, comprises an anti-overstress member for preventing overstressing of the spring section of the terminal. Integral stamping and forming of the anti-overstress member from the spring clip provides a robust, cost-effective and reliable terminal.
