Abstract: A connection device for charging an electric vehicle includes a main unit on which a charging socket is arranged for plugging in a charging cable for connecting to the electric vehicle or to which the charging cable is connected directly. The connection device includes an additional connection with a separate additional housing on which an additional charging socket for a further charging cable is arranged or to which the further charging cable is connected directly.

Abstract: A connection assembly for a photovoltaic module includes at least one cell assembly which is externally contactable to at least two contacts. The connection assembly includes at least one bypass diode, which is arranged externally of the at least one cell assembly and connected in parallel to the at least one cell assembly. The connection assembly is characterized in that the connection assembly has at least one plug receptacle into which the bypass diode can be plugged in with plug contacts. A photovoltaic module with such a connection assembly is also provided.

Abstract: A photovoltaic module includes at least two cell assemblies externally contactable at connecting contacts, which are arranged linearly at the rear side of the photovoltaic module in groups of two connecting contacts which are allocated to the cell assemblies. One connection socket is arranged on a rear side of the photovoltaic module, this connection socket having a housing which has at least one rear opening for passing the connecting contact through, wherein the housing covers all connecting contacts of the photovoltaic module. In a connection socket for such a photovoltaic module, the housing has an elongated shape, wherein all connecting contacts are arranged in a line along a longitudinal direction of the housing.
