Abstract
Terminal plates () are juxtaposed on a base plate () for electrically connecting positive and negative electrodes of a solar battery module () to cables () for external connection. A rectifying device () spans between adjacent terminal plates (). Each rectifying device () has a bypass diode () and a metal clip () resiliently holds the bypass diode (). A heat discharging sheet (40) is attached to the lower surface of the clip () for discharging heat generated by the bypass diode (). Heat discharged from a heat discharging surface (A) of the heat discharging sheet () is received by a heat receiving surface (A) of the solar battery module () via a through hole (B) formed in the base plate () and is discharged efficiently from the solar battery module ().
