A connecting box with a printed circuit board is described which has electrical components electrically connected to conductor rails of the connecting box. The printed circuit board is preferably held in the connecting box by an adhesive layer. Simple assembly and disassembly of the components is possible as a result of the use of the printed circuit board. In addition, the heat generated in the components can be better dissipated via the printed circuit board.

Connecting box for connecting to a solar panel

The connecting box comprises contact elements which allow automatic contacting and assembling of a solar panel with the connecting box. The solar panel comprises fixed contacts suitable for automatic contacting with the contact elements of the connecting box. The contact elements of the connecting box comprise tapered receiving regions allowing automatic insertion of the fixed contacts of the solar panel into a contact region of the contact elements. Inexpensive production is possible as a result of automatic assembling of the panels with the connecting boxes.

Connecting box for a solar panel and solar panel

The present invention provides a connector for contacting the conductors of a cable. The connector includes a receptacle for receiving the cable and a contacting device which may be placed on the receptacle and which comprises at least one piercing contact for contacting a conductor of the cable. The contacting device is adapted to be placed on the receptacle such that the piercing contact comes to lie in a freely selectable position in the receptacle, in order to contact the conductor of the cable received in the receptacle.
