Patent number: 10418737Abstract: A terminal connection component including press-fit terminals and terminal metal-fittings. The press-fit terminals have a plate shape in which a taper is disposed at one tip, and the terminal metal-fittings also have a plate shape in which a fitting section is disposed at one end side. The fitting sections of the terminal metal-fittings have a first hole part and a second hole part from the one end in parallel. The tips of the press-fit terminals are press-fitted and are connected to the fitting sections of the terminal metal-fittings, and a portion between the first hole part and the second hole part of the fitting section, which serves as an elastic deformation section, is elastically deformed in a thickness direction of the press-fit terminal and biases the press-fit terminal so that the press-fit terminals are surely press-fitted to the fitting sections of the terminal metal-fittings.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: NSK LTD.Inventors: Takashi Sunaga, Tadayoshi Osakabe

Patent number: 9184640Abstract: A motor controller and a production method thereof are provided to be capable of lowering the stress applied to joint parts of terminals and a board as much as possible, even if a thermal load or external force is applied to the connector, and in addition, capable of achieving a sufficient coupling strength when arranged in proximity to the electric motor. In the motor controller, there are provided: a first securing section (56a) and a second securing section (56b) configured to secure a connector (50) to the case (20) at an outer circumference of a connector housing (53) of the connector (50); and a positioning section (58) configured to position the connector (50) to the case (20), when the connector (50) is inserted into the connector receiving depression section (22a).Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2014Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: NSK Ltd.Inventors: Masakazu Morimoto, Tadayoshi Osakabe, Osamu Miyoshi

Patent number: 9099800Abstract: There is provided a connector capable of realizing simple assembly and prevention of entering of foreign matter. A connector terminal (56) includes an insertion part (56a) that has a terminal metal fitting to be electrically connected with an external connection terminal, and a pin (56d) fixed to the insertion part (56a) and has a bent shape. The connector terminal (56) is held by a connector housing (55). In this situation, the connector housing (55) has a hole (57) that has a size at which the pin (56a) can penetrate from a tip side, and a guide wall (57d) formed along an outer circumference of the hole (57) and projects in a direction in which the pin (56d) projects from the connector housing (55).Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2013Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: NSK Ltd.Inventors: Masakazu Morimoto, Tadayoshi Osakabe, Osamu Miyoshi
