Abstract: A relay-connecting member (16) has relay terminals (32), each of which is fit-connected to an output electrode (28) and a male tab (30) of an output terminal (14). With this structure, by simply inserting the output electrode (28) and the male tab (30) of the output terminal (14) into the relay-connecting member (16), it is possible to easily electrically connect the output electrode (28) and the male tab (30) of the output terminal (14) through the relay terminal (32).

Abstract: In a pair of mutually connectable terminals, one terminal is provided with a joint having a spherical surface formed on the outer circumferential surface, and the other terminal is provided with a hole into which the joint can be fitted. At least one of the joint and the hole is formed in a plate member which can be displaced elastically in the fitting direction of the joint and the hole. When the pair of terminals and are connected, the joint touches the circumferential edge of the hole to displace the plate member elastically. When the joint is fitted in the hole, the plate member is reset elastically and holds the spherical surface of the joint under such a state as the spherical surface is pressed against the edge of the hole.

Abstract: A shielded connector includes: a shield member having a braided wire that encloses a bundle of a plurality of wires; a shield shell formed by bending a metal plate member into a cylindrical shape and coupling circumferential end edges of the metal plate member; a caulk ring disposed on an outer circumference of the shield shell to hold and fix the shield member between the shield shell by caulking; and an underlay ring that receives caulking force to be applied to the shield shell from an outer circumferential side of the shield shell when the caulking is performed, the underlay ring being disposed on an inner circumference of the shield shell at a position corresponding to the caulk ring.

Abstract: A female connector (10) accommodating a female terminal fitting (17) has a sealing member (26) displaying a function of sealing the gap between a female connector housing (11) of the female connector (10) and a male connector housing (31) of a male connector (30). The sealing member (26) has a sealing part (27) made of a rubber material; and a rear part 28, made of a highly rigid synthetic resinous material, fixed to the sealing part (27). The rear part (28) has a locking portion (28a) which engages an engaging hole (14a) of the female connector housing (11); and a reinforcing portion (28b), fixed to an entire periphery of a rear end of the sealing part (27) formed integrally with the locking portion (28a). The sealing part (27) and the rear part (28) are fixed to each other by using a two-color molding method.

Abstract: A shielding connector has a female and male housings (30; 60), each of which has an inner housing (31, 61) that accommodates terminal fittings (20; 25). Metal shells (50, 80) are mounted on the peripheries of the inner housings (31, 61) and electromagnetically shield the female and male terminal fittings (20; 25) when the housings (30; 60) are connected. The metal shells (50; 80) are configured to achieve secure mounting, effective shielding and a small cross section. A detector (90) is provided to ensure complete connection and is configured to prevent inadvertent separation of the housings (30; 60).

Abstract: A bus bar module (10) includes a bus bar (11) made of a metal material integrally molded into an insulating layer (12) made from resin. The bus bar module (10) also includes a distortion absorptive section (15) for absorbing distortion resulting from difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between the bus bar (11) and the insulating layer (12). Thus, the insulating layer (12) can stretch out by a difference in expanded dimension between the insulating layer (12) and the bus bar (11) at thermal expansion. In this way, the distortion resulting from the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between the bus bar (11) and the insulating layer (12) can be absorbed, and crack occurrence in the insulating layer (12) can be prevented.

Abstract: A connector is provided with a short longitudinal direction. The connector includes a housing (11) with a cavity (13). an electric wire (45) extends to a position rearwardly of the cavity (13), and is bent downwardly. A cover (30) then is pressed against the housing (11), with the electric wire (45) sandwiched between sealing members (50), (51) made of a jelly-like material. As a result, the sealing member (51) penetrates into the gap between confronting portions on of the housing (11) and the cover (30). The sealing members (50), (51) also are pressed against both sides of the electric wire (45). As a result, the periphery of the electric wire (45) is filled with the cover-side sealing members (50), (51).
