  • Patent number: 9849795
    Abstract: A vehicle connector that is connected through a cable to a vehicle-mounted power switchboard is attached to an attachment bracket secured to a vehicle body. The attachment bracket includes a first bracket having an attachment portion to which the vehicle connector is attached and a second bracket secured to the vehicle body so as to be positioned further to an inside of the vehicle body than the first bracket. The first bracket and the second bracket form a closed cross section. Thus, the attachment bracket having the closed cross section supports a load that is applied when a connector to be mated with the vehicle connector is inserted into or removed from the vehicle connector.
