Abstract: A terminal to be coupled to a front end portion of an electric wire. The terminal includes a terminal body and a slider. The terminal body includes a holding section holding a core wire of the electric wire. The slider is movable in a front-rear direction between a first position and a second position that is on a front side with respect to the first position while the slider being fitted on a section of the terminal body including the holding section. The slider includes a pressing portion that presses the holding section toward the electric wire when the slider is at the second position. The slider includes a pressure receiving portion that is pushed from a rear side to move the slider from the first position to the second position. The slider includes a support portion that receives a force applied to the pressure receiving portion that is pushed.

Abstract: A wire harness 10 has a sheathing material 21 that is flexible and covers wires 11, a path-regulating member 31 for regulating a path along which the wires 11 are arranged from outside of the sheathing material 21, the path-regulating member 31 having an axial direction parallel to the path along which the wires 11 are arranged, and an intermediate clamp 41. The intermediate clamp 41 has a support portion 51 for supporting the path-regulating member 31, and an attachment portion 61 with a ring-shaped structure for attaching the sheathing material 21. The attachment portion 61 has an insertion portion 62 that enables the sheathing material 21 to be inserted therefrom in a radial direction of the ring-shaped structure. The attachment portion 61 can be changed between an open orientation that enables the sheathing material to be inserted from the insertion portion 62, and a closed orientation that makes the ring-shaped structure into a continuous ring shape.

Abstract: An access restriction device as well as an on-board communication system and a method for communication restriction, which prevent outside leakage of information caused by unauthorized access of malicious programs to an in-car network. The communication between the in-car network of the vehicle and an external device is performed by a security controller. The security controller can perform addition or update of a program involving processing for transmission and reception of the information. The security controller performs processing for restricting access to information of the in-car network performed by program execution according to an access authorization level of each program and an access permission level of each type of information. The security controller restricts the transmission depending on the access authorization level of each program and the access permission level of each type of information in case of transmitting the information to the in-car network by the program execution.

Abstract: Provided is a battery wiring module to be attached to a single cell group in which a plurality of single cells each having a positive electrode section and a negative electrode section are lined up, and to connect the electrode sections. The battery wiring module includes a connecting member configured to connect the electrode sections, and a protector by which the connecting member is held. The protector has a positioning section that is fitted to positioned sections formed in a single cell prior to the connecting member reaching the electrode sections when the battery wiring module is attached to the single cells. The positioning section is provided projecting farther to the single cell side than the connecting member.

Abstract: A vehicle power supply control apparatus is provided including a power supply control unit, a control signal connection circuit unit, a remote operation signal obtaining unit for receiving a remote operation signal, a power supply control unit that is operated during remote operation, relays serving as electrical path opening/closing units, and fuses. An air conditioner and a heater are connected to an electrical path that is opened and closed by the relay. A wiper, a washer and a turn signal relay are connected to an electrical path that is opened and closed by the relay. If the remote operation signal obtaining unit obtains a remote operation signal, the control signal connection circuit unit turns the relay off, and does not switch an electrical current on to the electrical path to which the wiper, the washer, and the turn signal relay are connected.

Abstract: A first current corresponding to the drain-to-source voltage of a power MOSFET can pass through an FET; and a second current corresponding to a constant voltage can pass through an FET; a third current corresponding to the difference determined by subtracting the first current from the second current can pass into threshold setting resistors from the connecting point between FETs. Consequently, divided voltages at the connecting points between the threshold setting resistors varies directly with a voltage corresponding to the difference determined by subtracting the drain-to-source voltage of the power MOSFET from the constant voltage.

Abstract: A current detection device includes a bus bar for current detection. The bus bar for current detection is constituted by a conductor provided with a first portion penetrating through a hollow portion of a magnetic material core in a first direction in which a current passes and plate-shaped second portions each linked to both sides in the first direction with respect to the first portion, the bus bar for current detection formed such that a width of the second portion is greater than a maximum width of the hollow portion of the magnetic material core and a minimum width of a contour of a section in the first portion is greater than a thickness of the second portion.

Abstract: An inrush current higher than a second anomaly threshold current ILfc passes through a power MOSFET 14, when a control signal S1 of low level is applied to a gate driver 28 so that the power MOSFET 14 and the like turn to a conductive state. A first forcing shutoff operation for the power MOSFET 14 is then prevented, because a first anomaly threshold current ILoc is set to an initial level higher than the inrush current. A fuse time counter 73 starts a count-up operation in response to the occurrence of the inrush current, and continues to increment its count value until a load current IL falls below the second anomaly threshold current ILfc. According to the count value, the first anomaly threshold current ILoc is decreased stepwise with time.

Abstract: A halogen-free light-weighted coated electric wire has a conductor and a coating layer covering the outer circumference of the conductor. The coating layer includes an outer layer having a halogen-free resin composition and Shore D hardness of 50 or above and an inner layer having an olefin based flame retardant composition. A total thickness of the coating layer is 0.

The coated electric wire comprises a conductor and a coating layer covering the outer circumference of the conductor, and is characterized in that the coating layer consists of an outer layer having a halogen-free resin composition and Shore D hardness of 50 or above and of an inner layer having an olefin based flame retardant composition, and in that the total thickness of the coating layer is 0.3 mm or less.

Abstract: An optical connector is constituted of a connector housing, a shielding case, and optical elements. The shielding case is split into a case main body section and a heatsink mechanism section, both joined together to constitute housing recesses. While the case main body section and the heatsink mechanism section are joined together, element main body sections are held between them. A non-joint plane of the heatsink mechanism section is housed in a case housing recess of the connector housing in an outwardly exposed state. A corrugated heatsink fin section is formed in the non-joint plane. The housing recesses into which the element main body sections are to be housed are partitioned from each other.

Abstract: An electric connection box includes a cover fitted on a lower side of a body having mounting portions, and the cover is fixedly secured to a vehicle body. A wire harness is extended outwardly from a portion of the body, disposed near to one corner portion thereof, through an escape groove. Plural lock mechanisms, in which a lock piece portion can be elastically fitted into a lock groove, are provided at fitting peripheral surfaces of the body and cover, and are disposed near to four corner portions thereof respectively. One lock mechanism, disposed near to a position where the wire harness is extended outwardly, has a semi-lock structure, and thus has a smaller retaining force than the other lock mechanisms.
