The number of terminal plates may be appropriately determined according to the wiring mode such as the number of photovoltaic modules to be connected and the presence or absence of a diode. Further, as a connection structure of the external connection cable, the cable is connected to a cable terminal plate having the same configuration as the terminal plate and electrically connected to the terminal plate in the same manner as the above-described electrode, or the cable is connected. A crimp connection to the terminal piece and a screw connection of the terminal piece to the terminal plate may be employed. The latter means has a high connection strength because of crimping and screwing, and is extremely unlikely to come off even if a tensile force acts on the cable. However, even in the former method, the tensile strength of the connection portion can be increased by press-fitting the bite into the insulating coating (see FIG. 9).
