  • Patent number: 12183480
    Abstract: A conductive connecting member includes a first terminal, a second terminal, and a braided member for electrically connecting the first and second terminals. The braided member is a member formed by braiding a plurality of metal strands each other. The braided member includes a first fixing portion to be fixed and electrically connected to the first terminal, a second fixing portion to be fixed and electrically connected to the second terminal and an intermediate portion serving as a part of the braided member between the first and second fixing portions. The intermediate portion retains its own shape in a natural state where no external force is applied and is deformed to allow a relative movement of the second terminal with respect to the first terminal when an external force for relatively changing a position of the second terminal with respect to the first terminal is applied.

  • Publication number: 20240014581
    Abstract: A terminal block is used in an attitude such that a first end portion of a block main body is positioned lower than the opposite second end portion of the block main body. A through hole is provided in the second end portion of the block main body. The block main body includes a rib that extends in the first direction and that, when viewed in the first direction, has a shape that covers a first end portion side of the through hole. A straight line that is orthogonal to a center axis of the through hole and that extends along the second direction is set as a reference line; and a side surface on the through hole side of the rib includes a spaced-apart surface that is spaced farther apart from the through hole the greater the distance from the reference line.
