² The materials used for metal stamping photovoltaic connection terminals:

Conductor material: mainly silver, copper or copper alloy, stainless steel, aluminum and other due to its excellent electrical conductivity, low resistance, high conductivity and easy processing and molding. Although silver has excellent electrical properties, it is expensive; aluminum has relatively poor electrical conductivity, and there is little demand from customers to choose this material. In order to ensure the conductivity of the product to the greatest extent and also reduce the cost, partial silver plating or gold plating is generally used to maximize the benefits of the product.

Metal stamped photovoltaic connection terminals play a key role in photovoltaic systems and are mainly used to connect and transmit electrical energy. They ensure the normal operation of photovoltaic systems by providing a stable power supply. In addition, precision terminals also have excellent electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, accuracy and stability, allowing them to maintain reliable power transmission under various environmental conditions.

² Processing methods of metal photovoltaic connection terminals

1.Stamping processing

    2.Product Assembly

Assembly is to combine the stamped components according to the design requirements and process flow to form a complete photovoltaic connection terminal. During the assembly process, various sub-components or parts are assembled mainly in accordance with product design and performance requirements, as well as process flow and design requirements, to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection terminals. During the assembly process, crimping pliers, welding equipment or automatic assembly machines will be used to ensure assembly quality and efficiency; after assembly is completed, a comprehensive inspection of the connecting terminals is required, including appearance quality, dimensional accuracy, functional structure, etc. Ensure products meet design requirements and quality standards.

To sum up, the processing methods of hardware photovoltaic connection terminals mainly include hardware stamping processing and assembly. Metal stamping processing is to process metal sheets into the required shape and structure through stamping, drilling, riveting, tapping, welding and other process steps; assembly is to process each stamped component according to the design requirements and process flow Combined to form a complete photovoltaic connection terminal. During the processing process, attention needs to be paid to selecting appropriate components, correct assembly sequence, using appropriate tools and equipment, and checking assembly quality to ensure product stability and reliability.

       ² Product design to manufacturing, stamping processing, inspection and packaging flow chart

       Step 1:  Purchasing materials according to customer drawings and product requirements; cutting and sorting metal plates according to design requirements to ensure that the size and surface quality of the plates meet the requirements of subsequent stamping processing. Choose materials with high electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance and good mechanical strength, such as copper, copper alloy, stainless steel, etc. Fully consider the cost, processability and environmental adaptability of materials to meet the long-term stable operation needs of photovoltaic energy storage systems.

       Step2: According to the shape and size requirements of photovoltaic connection terminals, corresponding stamping molds are designed and manufactured. The design of the mold needs to fully consider the strength and deformation properties of the material, as well as the stress distribution and deformation during the stamping process, to ensure that the stamped terminals have accurate shapes and reliable quality. According to the specific needs of the photovoltaic energy storage system, the size, shape, connection method and other parameters of the connection terminals are customized. Consider the current, voltage, power and other parameters of the system to ensure that the connection terminals can meet the performance requirements of the system. Customized design and manufacturing are carried out according to customers' special needs, such as special materials, special processing methods, etc.

        Step3: Stamping processing is a key link in the manufacturing of connection terminals, and processing accuracy and surface quality should be strictly controlled. During the stamping process, it is necessary to control the embossing depth and suppress the lateral twist of the lead to ensure the accuracy and stability of the terminal shape. Design and implement an appropriate correction stage to suppress the deviation of the lead frame lead position during stamping processing and improve product qualification rate.

        Step4: Deburr the stamped photovoltaic connection terminals to remove possible burrs and sharp edges on the surface, clean them, remove dirt and grease on the surface of the terminals, and ensure the surface quality of the terminals.

        Step5: According to the requirements of the product, surface treatment is performed on the photovoltaic connection terminals, such as galvanizing, silver plating, nickel plating or partial gold plating, etc., to improve the corrosion resistance and aesthetics of the terminals;
