  • Patent number: 10951128
    Abstract: A busbar includes an opening, a first terminal, and a second terminal. The first terminal includes a first terminal piece with a step-like bent shape, in which the first terminal piece is bent from a conductor along a bending line, and a plurality of hole portions formed on the first terminal piece and arrayed in a direction parallel to the bending line. The second terminal includes a second terminal piece with a step-like bent shape, in which the second terminal piece is bent from a conductor along a bending line, and a plurality of hole portions formed on the second terminal piece and arrayed in a direction parallel to the bending line. The busbar balances the current sharing in a current that flows through a plurality of fastening points.
