Abstract: A male connector to be connected to a female connector provided at a housing accommodating a vehicle-mounted electrical device includes a contact point to be connected to a contact of the female connector, a cable connected to the contact point, and a shield shell covering the contact point. A fixing structure for the male connector includes a bolt for fixing the shield shell to the housing, on the contact point side, and a clamp for fixing the cable to the housing, on the cable side. The fixed state of the cable established by the clamp is such a state as to allow for more movement of an object to be fixed than does the fixed state of the shield shell established by the bolt.

Abstract: A connector connection structure includes: a female connector on a housing accommodating a dynamo-electric machine mounted in a vehicle; and a male connector shaped so as to be fitted into the female connector by inserting it with a force not smaller than a predetermined amount. The male connector includes a contact joinable with a contact of the female connector to be electrically connected, and a rod-like lever connected with the male connector via a fulcrum. The lever generates the force not smaller than a predetermined amount by applying, with its one end's position being restricted, a rotation force to the other end. The housing includes a protrusion for restricting the position of the one end.

Abstract: A vehicle-connector routing structure is provided with which routing can be made through a narrow space. The vehicle-connector routing structure includes a chassis having an engine compartment and a tunnel continuing from the engine compartment, motors provided in the tunnel, and vehicle connectors connected to the motors. The vehicle connectors include bus bars extending at least from the motors to the engine compartment through the tunnel. One bus bar extends to an inverter. The other bus bar is connected to a flexible electric wire.
