Abstract: A connector connection structure includes: a female connector on a housing accommodating a dynamo-electric machine mounted in a vehicle; and a male connector shaped so as to be fitted into the female connector by inserting it with a force not smaller than a predetermined amount. The male connector includes a contact joinable with a contact of the female connector to be electrically connected, and a rod-like lever connected with the male connector via a fulcrum. The lever generates the force not smaller than a predetermined amount by applying, with its one end's position being restricted, a rotation force to the other end. The housing includes a protrusion for restricting the position of the one end.

Abstract: A male connector to be connected to a female connector provided at a housing accommodating a vehicle-mounted electrical device includes a contact point to be connected to a contact of the female connector, a cable connected to the contact point, and a shield shell covering the contact point. A fixing structure for the male connector includes a bolt for fixing the shield shell to the housing, on the contact point side, and a clamp for fixing the cable to the housing, on the cable side. The fixed state of the cable established by the clamp is such a state as to allow for more movement of an object to be fixed than does the fixed state of the shield shell established by the bolt.

Abstract: A cable (150) for supplying electric power to a motor is electrically connected to an inner conductor (125) of a terminal block (120) via a contact (124) by a mating structure of a male connector (200) and a female connector (108). A connecting member (130) for electrically connecting the inner conductor (125) and a motor winding (116) includes a fixed terminal (132) and a movable terminal (135). The fixed terminal (132) is electrically connected to the inner conductor (125) by a fixing member (140) and has a portion formed to extend along a terminal (117) at the tip of the motor winding (116). The movable terminal (135) is elastically deformable in accordance with the position of the terminal (117) and arranged to hold the terminal interposed between itself and the fixed terminal (132). As a result, a motor module can be assembled to the terminal block (120) integrally formed with a housing (100), while component tolerance is effectively absorbed by the connecting member (130).

The busbars are arranged into groups respectively including the U, V and W three-phases for connection to each of the three-phase loads, with respect to the terminal fitting portion. A wire connecting inverter with a plurality of there phase loads can be arranged with respect to each of three phase loads with small space.

Abstract: A feed cable to a motor is electrically connected to an internal conductor of a terminal block by a contact, by a mating structure of a male connector and a female connector. To the tip of varnish-treated motor winding, a flexible bus bar that is a flexible member is connected. By electrically connecting the motor winding to the internal conductor via the flexible bus bar with high flexibility, the feed cable and the motor winding are electrically connected. The component tolerance can be absorbed by deformation of the flexible bus bar, and the motor module can be fastened to the terminal block unforcedly.

Abstract: In a connector for apparatus, an extension portion extends from a female connecting portion to an opposite side of a wire side terminal. A gap between the apparatus side terminal and an inner circumference of the apparatus side housing is sealed with a seal member which is externally fitted around the extension portion of the apparatus side terminal.

Abstract: Connection and disconnection between an apparatus and an electric wire are made by fitting an electric wire side housing in an apparatus side housing inside a mounting hole or removing the electric wire side housing from the apparatus side housing, so that the need for time-consuming work for tightening or loosening a bolt or work for attaching a cover to a terminal block or detaching the cover from the terminal block as is conventional is eliminated and workability is good. In addition, the apparatus side housing can be fixed into the mounting hole by a stopper and a retainer, so that workability is good as compared with the case of fixing the apparatus side housing by bolt tightening.

Abstract: A connector of the invention includes a housing including a terminal fitting, which is made by resin molding; and a ring-like seal member made of rubber, which bonded by molding around a circumference of the terminal fitting so that sealing is steadily performed between the terminal fitting and the housing. It is not necessary to adjust an amount of sealing material applied to the terminal fitting in case that the sealing material is applied to the terminal fitting.

The shielding member is connected to a shield case of equipment via a shield shell. The shielding member has a diameter-spread portion in which a diameter thereof is spread larger than that of the protecting member at an end portion where the shielding member is projected from the protecting member, and connected to the shield shell at an end edge thereof. The diameter-spread portion is covered by a covering member formed in tube shape.

Abstract: A shielding member is configured by connecting an intermediate shielding member which can collectively enclose regions of a plurality of wires excluding terminal portions in a state where the regions are bundled, to a terminal shielding member which is larger in diameter than the intermediate shielding member, and which can collectively enclose the terminal portions of the wires in a state where the terminal portions are spread apart. The portions of the wires excluding the terminal portions are enclosed by the intermediate shielding member which is relatively thin, and hence the space required for laying the wires can be reduced. Since the terminal portions of the wires are enclosed by the terminal shielding member of a larger diameter, the shielding member can cope with the case where the terminal portions of the wires are laid while being laterally spread.
