Patent number: 9484668Abstract: A connector device comprises a connector and a mating connector connectable with each other. The mating connector comprises a mating primary terminal and a mating secondary terminal. The connector comprises a primary terminal, a secondary terminal, an operation member and a push-back mechanism. The operation member changes its state from an initial state to a second state via a second state. When the state of the operation member is changed to the first state, the primary terminal is connected to the mating primary terminal. When the state of the operation member is changed to the second state, the secondary terminal is connected to the mating secondary terminal. When the state of the operation member is changed to the first state, the push-back mechanism applies a push-back force to the operation member to change the state of the operation member back toward the initial state.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2015Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignees: JAPAN AVIATION ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY, LIMITED, HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuji Kamei, Akira Kuwahara, Makoto Kawahara, Ryo Fujii

Patent number: 8993142Abstract: In a battery pack for an electric car, a plurality of battery modules are mounted to be divided between the front and rear of a middle cross member and a main switch and a junction board are disposed in the front and rear of the middle cross member respectively. A bent part of a second high voltage cable, which bends into a U-shape and pass through beneath the middle cross member, is held by a cable holder and fixed to a fixing part. Since only a bus bar disposed in the intermediate part of the first high voltage cable is bent into a U-shape and passed through beneath the middle cross member, not only is a wiring operation of the first high voltage cable easy, but it is also possible to minimize the length of the bus bar to thus enhance the reliability with respect to vibration.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2012Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideaki Sakai, Kosuke Tachikawa, Makoto Kawahara
