Abstract: A holder assembly includes long terminals and a holder that includes long grooves in which the terminals are installed. Each of the long grooves is positioned between sidewalls which stand on both sides of the long groove. Each of the sidewalls includes engagement lock arms at a plurality of places arranged in a longitudinal direction of the long groove. Engagement claws are formed on each of the engagement lock arms.

Abstract: A metal member which is fixed to a through hole provided in a resin product, includes: a side surface which faces an inner surface of the through hole when the metal member is fixed to the though hole, the side surface comprising: a first part which is provided in the vicinity of an end part of the side surface; and a second part which has an outside diameter larger than that of the first part and which has concave and convex thereon.

Abstract: A lock mechanism of a connector includes a connector body portion, a hood portion and a lock arm. The connecting portion of the lock arm is integrally connected to the hood portion at the first side, the extending portion extends from the connecting portion to the depressing portion in a first direction of fitting the mating connector into the connector body portion, and the depressing portion is arranged at a second side which is away from the mating connector than the first side in the first direction. A first slit is formed in the end wall of the hood portion, and has a width larger than a width of an interconnecting portion which connect the connecting portion of the lock arm to the hood portion, so that the first slit applies elastic deformability, corresponding to the width of the first slit, to a part of the hood portion including the interconnecting portion.

Abstract: An auxiliary device module Z includes: an auxiliary device 1; a base board 2 mounted on the auxiliary device 1 which has terminals 5e; and a case 3 in which the base board 2 can be mounted. Fitting the base board 2 into the case 3, the terminals 5e of the base board 2 and electric wires 4 of a connecting portion 5e? in the case 3 are connected electrically to form a connector 5. Positioning portions 6 for guiding the terminals 5e are provided in the connecting portion 5e?. Thereby, when assembling the auxiliary device module Z, connecting electrically the terminal 5e with the electric wires 4 can be done simultaneously, accurately and easily.

Abstract: A shielding terminal for a coaxial cable includes a first clamping portion, a second clamping portion and a junction portion. The first clamping portion clamps an insulative sheath of the coaxial cable. The second clamping portion clamps a exposed conductive braid portion of the coaxial cable. The junction portion is formed integrally between the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion. The junction portion extends around an outer periphery of the coaxial cable in which a winding angle of the junction portion with respect to the coaxial cable is not less than 180 degrees, and in which the winding angle of the junction portion is smaller than winding angles of the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion with respect to the coaxial cable respectively.

Abstract: An auxiliary machine module includes auxiliary machine a base plate equipped with the auxiliary machine; a case in which the base plate is mounted, and a connector tool for electrically connecting the base plate and the case. In this configuration, the number of components provided on the periphery of the auxiliary machine module, and the module can be reduced in size and weight in a simple structure. An inconvenience occurring in a conventional assembling operation can be also overcome.
