  • Patent number: 9326409
    Abstract: The electric component includes first and second members 30 and 40, at least one of which being used as an electric conductor. The first member includes a bus bar 31 and a resin member 32 for covering the bar and has a predetermined area where they expose to the exterior. The second member has an exposing portion where the surface of the aluminum wire 44 exposes and the exposing portion faces portions (H1, H3) where the bar 31 exposes to the exterior at the predetermined area. The first and second members are supported by a housing 10 including a resin at least having a part exposing to the exterior. In this electric component, the first member is configured such that the contact angle of the water droplet relative to the surface of the resin member 32 within the predetermined area is smaller than or equal to 70 degrees.
