Abstract: A power converter includes a mounting substrate, a one-piece-type connector including an input connector and an output connector, the input connector and the output connector being formed in one-piece and arranged side by side; and a case made of an electrically conductive material. The one-piece-type connector includes lead terminals configured to connect the input cable and the output cable to a power converting circuit and an electrically conductive ground connection portion electrically connected to the case through an electrically conductive member. The ground connection portion includes a shield surface arranged to extend along at least a portion of a side surface of the output connector.

Abstract: A connection cable includes a cable-side connector, a cable body, a cover member, and a locking member. The cover member is configured to define a gap between the cable-side connector and the cover member such that a bulb-side connector is fitted to the gap when the cable-side connector is connected to the bulb-side connector. The locking member includes a slide portion arranged to slide along an outer circumferential surface of the cover member. The slide portion is provided with a protrusion extending through the cover member and engaging with a locking hole formed in the bulb-side connector. The slide portion is configured such that, when the slide portion is caused to slide, the protrusion is moved away from the cable-side connector and disengaged from the locking hole.

Abstract: An electromagnetic device and a high-voltage generating device which are thin and improved in the characteristics are provided in which a magnetic core is made of a cylindrical form of a ferrite material having a higher intrinsic resistance. A winding is provided by winding a flat rectangular wire conductor in an edge-wise winding form directly on substantially the entire length of the magnetic core. As any insulator such as a coil bobbin is not needed between the flat rectangular wire conductor and the magnetic core, the winding can be decreased in the overall size or thickness thus contributing to the dimensional reduction of the electromagnetic device. Also, as its flat rectangular wire conductor is wound directly on the magnetic core, the winding can be minimized in the length and thus the overall resistance. Moreover, as there is no gap between the winding and the magnetic core, the self-inductance can be reduced while the size and the number of turns of the winding remain unchanged.
