  • Patent number: 10547149
    Abstract: A wiring module includes a plurality of conductive plates, and first coupling portions and second coupling portions that are provided on outer peripheral portions of the plurality of conductive plates and have mutually connectable shapes. In this wiring module, the plurality of conductive plates are electrically connected by coupling the first coupling portions and the second coupling portions. Therefore, changing a manner in which the conductive plates are coupled (for example, changing the number of coupled conductive plates, the coupling positions thereof, or the coupling angles thereof) makes it possible to use the wiring module in various layouts depending on the shapes of vehicles.
