Abstract
Three bypass diodes () each comprised of a principal body () with a rectifying function and a connecting piece extending from the principal body is bridged between corresponding two terminal plates (A,B). The principal body () is supported by one terminal plate (A,B), whereas the leading end of a connecting pin () is connected with the other terminal plate (A,B). One of the bypass diode () has a polarity opposite to that of the remaining ones, and one of the terminal plates (A,B) serves as an auxiliary intermediate terminal neither supporting the principal body () of the bypass diode () nor connected with a cable (). Since both cable connecting terminals support the principal bodies () of the bypass diodes (), heat generated by the principal bodies () can be efficiently radiated from the cable connecting terminals (A) to the cables ().
