  • Patent number: 12691838
    Abstract: A holding portion in which a power supply distribution unit is inserted and held is formed in a case of an electrical connection structure. Here, the power supply distribution unit includes a main body formed so as to have an approximately twice-rotation symmetrical shape with respect to an imaginary line extending in a first direction. A projection is formed on the main body and/or the holding portion, and a groove into which the projection is inserted, and a restriction wall which interferes with the projection when the power source distribution unit is inversely inserted are formed on the holding portion and/or the main body. Further, a projection side inclined surface capable of guiding the projection into the groove by coming into contact with the restriction wall when the power source distribution unit is inserted in a state of a normal position is formed in the projection.
