  • Patent number: 8701971
    Abstract: A printed board includes a printed board body having a first side, a second side opposing the first side, and a through-hole; a printed conductor disposed on the first side of the printed board body; and a bus bar disposed on the second side of the printed board body, the bus bar including a terminal that extends through the through-hole. The terminal includes a plurality of branched terminal portions at a position corresponding to an interior of the through-hole, and at least one of the branched terminal portions is bent and attached to the printed conductor.

  • Patent number: 8437119
    Abstract: To provide an electrical junction box that can maintain a stable assembly condition between a box main body and a cover member, even if locking mechanisms are not provided on a whole periphery of the electrical junction box. An electrical junction box includes a box main body and a cover member. One of the box main body and the cover member is provided on at least a single of side portions of the one peripheral wall with a locking mechanism. An elastic rib that protrudes from an inner peripheral surface of the one peripheral wall at one of the side portions is pressed onto a fitting projection piece. A side portion is provided with a support wall that is opposed to and spaced apart from the inner peripheral surface. The fitting projection piece is held in a space between the inner peripheral surface and the support wall.

  • Publication number: 20120103649
    Abstract: An electrical junction box configured to position and hold a tapered connecting terminal in a terminal containing section stably without deteriorating a connecting operation. The electrical junction box may include a terminal containing section provided on its inner surfaces with a plurality of outer ribs and side ribs that protrude from the inner surfaces and extend in an inserting direction of a connecting terminal. Protruding dimensions of the outer ribs gradually increases as the outer ribs extend to a distal end side of the connecting terminal. The outer ribs pinch the connecting terminal from both its outer sides in a first direction of a pair of pinching pieces of the connecting terminal while the side ribs pinch the connecting terminal from its both outer sides in a direction perpendicular to the first direction, thereby positioning the connecting terminal in the terminal containing section.

  • Patent number: 7715212
    Abstract: A printed board includes a printed board body and throwaway boards provided on opposite sides of the printed board body through joining portions spaced away from each other in a longitudinal direction. Bores are provided in areas bridging the joining portions and throwaway boards. The bores can receive guide pins on a conveying unit for carrying the printed board to an electronic element mounting apparatus. The joining portions and throwaway boards can be removed from the printed board body after mounting the electronic elements on the printed board. This structure can minimize a width of a throwaway board and reduce total costs without lowering mounting efficiency of electronic elements in an electronic element mounting step.
