  • Patent number: 10611321
    Abstract: Provided is a wiring module for which the shape of a through hole formed in a wall of a vehicle can be set independent of the cross section of a conductor plate. The wiring module penetrates a wall provided in a vehicle. The wiring module includes a pair of conductor plates and a conductive fastening member. The pair of conductor plates are disposed opposite to each other via the wall. The fastening member penetrates the wall to be conductively connected to the pair of conductor plates, and fastens the pair of conductor plates to the wall.

  • Publication number: 20190054870
    Abstract: Provided is an in-vehicle power supply device that is less susceptible to the occurrence of sneak current between a main battery and a sub-battery that supply power externally. The in-vehicle power supply device includes a main battery for in-vehicle use, a sub-battery for in-vehicle use, a switch, a main power supply path, a sub-power supply path, a relay, and wiring. The switch has a first end connected to the main battery and the main power supply path, and a second end connected to the sub-battery. The relay has a first contact connected to a sub-power supply path, and a second contact connected to the second end. The first contact and the second contact form a pair. The wiring is a connection path that connects the first end and the first contact, and supplies power from the main battery to the sub-power supply path.
