Abstract: An operation input device includes a detection unit configured to sense a detection value changing according to a distance to a detection target object and a controller configured to detect input operation in a case where the detection value is equal to or greater than a first threshold. The controller stands by in a sleep mode in which a power consumption is reduced as compared to a normal standby mode in a case where the detection value is less than a second threshold, which is smaller than the first threshold, as a threshold indicating that the distance between the detection target object and the detection unit is equal to or shorter than a second distance longer than the first distance, and stands by in the normal standby mode in a case where the detection value is equal to or greater than the second threshold.

Abstract: A pressure contact terminal includes a component clip configured to clip an electronic component and be electrically connected with the electronic component, a pressure contact blade to be connected with a wire by pressure contact, and a step connection configured to connect the component clip and the pressure contact blade to each other at different bottom face heights. The step connection of the pressure contact terminal may prevent displacement of the pressure contact blade from being transmitted to the component clip.

Abstract: A substrate holding structure includes a housing having a component housing chamber, a terminal fixed to the housing and having a component clip, and a substrate having a contact clipped by the component clip of the terminal. The substrate is held in the component housing chamber of the housing with the contact clipped by the component clip of the terminal. The substrate held in the component housing chamber has all faces arranged with gaps from the housing.

Abstract: An electric wire pressure-contact structure includes an electric wire holder which retains electric wires, and a housing in which bus bars having pressure-contact blades are housed. Lock sections include locked parts provided to the electric wire holder, and the locking parts provided to the housing. In each retaining groove, the electric wire holder includes: protrusions which bring the electric wire into pressure contact with the pressure-contact blade by pressing the electric wire; and a recess which forms a bent section in the electric wire when the electric wire is pressed by the protrusions. A length between apexes of the protrusions and a bottom of the recess is set to be longer than a gap between the locked part and the locking part in each lock section. The gap is formed when the locked parts are loosely fitted in the locking parts.

Abstract: An electric wire setting method for setting a plurality of electric wires by using a jig in an electric wire holding part includes setting the electric wire holding part on a positioning platform of the jig, inserting the electric wires in gaps between guide protrusion pieces of the jig to guide the electric wires in electric wire retention grooves of the electric wire holding part, and folding a lower portion of the electric wire holding part toward an upper face of an upper holding portion of the electric wire holding part to sandwich the electric wires between the lower portion and the upper portion.

Abstract: A connector connecting structure includes a connector that is electrically connected from outside and a connector receiving portion to which the connector is connected. The connector is made by assembling an electric wire including a conductor and an insulative sheath to an electric wire holder, and exposing the electric wire at a side to be connected to the connector receiving portion. The electric wire holder is provided with a camshaft, which is engageable to a lever to be assembled to the connector receiving portion, on side surfaces. The lever is provided with a cam groove in which the camshaft is slidably engaged and a rotation shaft which is rotatably assembled to the connector receiving portion, and is provided with an operating portion with which the lever is pressed down to assemble the rotation shafts to the connector receiving portion.

Abstract: A lamp assembly to be attached with a reinforcement through an opening formed in a roof panel is provided. A clip to be locked with the reinforcement is provided in the lamp assembly. The clip includes a base portion connected to the housing, an inverted U-shape portion connected to the base portion, a lock connected to the inverted U-shape portion, a projecting piece projected from a lower end of the lock, an extension portion extended further downwards from the projecting piece, and a side projecting piece formed on a side surface of the extension portion at a lower portion. A front projecting piece which faces the side projecting piece with a space provided therebetween is formed on the housing. The side projecting piece comes in contact with the front projecting piece in a state where the clip is locked on a circumferential edge of an opening of the reinforcement.

Abstract: A switch includes a switch knob, a housing, a push pin, and a rubber contact. The switch knob is supported on the housing in a movable manner by pushed. The push pin is pressed in accordance with a push of the switch knob. The rubber contact elastically deforms when the push pin is pressed. A conductive part of the rubber contact is contacted so as to conductively connect a circuit. The circuit is formed by conductors which are a plurality of wire rods provided in parallel. Ends of the wire rods are protruded in a connector opening provided in the housing as male tabs.

Abstract: To provide a connector which can reduce a manufacturing cost of a wire harness, and also can enhance the reliability of the wire harness. A first wire holder H1 adapted to be mounted on a wire harness W11 includes a wire arranging portion 36 for holding a plurality of wires 24a in parallel relation to each other, mounting shaft portions 57 disposed at one side of the wire arranging portion 36 and spaced a distance from the one side of the wire arranging portion 36, and mounting engagement portions 58 disposed at the other side of the wire arranging portion 36 and spaced a distance from the other side of the wire arranging portion 36.

Abstract: An electric cable holder is provided. A housing includes cable receiving grooves provided in parallel with one peripheral wall portion and press contact terminal receiving grooves provided at opposite ends of the cable receiving grooves of the one peripheral wall portion. A cover includes a substrate portion opposite to the one peripheral wall portion and formed with holes communicating with the press contact terminal receiving grooves, a pair of cover portions erected from opposite ends of the substrate portion, and an open preventing portion connecting the cover portions. The housing is provided with an engaging portion engages with the open preventing portion. When press contact terminals are press-contacted with electric cables and received in the press contact terminal receiving grooves while the open preventing portion is engaged with the engaging portion, an engaging receiving portion is disposed between the open preventing portion and the engaging portion.

Abstract: There is provided a press-contact connection apparatus, including: a base part; press-contact terminals which are fixed to the base part; and an electric wire holder which holds a plurality of electric wires to be press-contacted with the respective press-contact terminals. The base part includes a support which supports the electric wire holder rotatably and serves as a fulcrum of a rotation of the electric wire. The electric wire holder includes a rotational shaft which is provided in one end portion of the electric wire holder and supported by the support. The electric wire holder holds the plurality of electric wires to be extended in an axial direction of the rotational shaft, and bends a part of each electric wire in a U-shape so that a bottom portion of the U-shape is arranged closer to the support than a portion bent and extending from an upper end of the U-shape is.
