    Abstract: A high voltage connector for a vehicle may include a male connector having a truncated conical protuberance-shaped first terminal, and a female connector having a second terminal provided with a truncated conical coupling groove corresponding to the first terminal, wherein an electrical connection between the male connector and the female connector is accomplished as the first terminal is inserted into the coupling groove of the second terminal. When the first terminal and the second terminal are coupled to each other, elastic deformation may be induced which may provide a holding force between the first and second terminals using elastic stress, resulting in improved stability of a high voltage power supply.

    Abstract: The present invention is an in-vehicle equipment attaching device that attaches onboard equipment to a vehicle frame extending in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle by using a linking bracket. The bracket has a first side wall part that is secured to a frame-side wall section, a second side wall part that is installed facing the first side wall part and that is secured to the onboard equipment, and a third side wall part, the bracket forming an approximate U shape or H shape in cross-section such that the vehicle-rearward side thereof forms an open section. The bracket furthermore has first reinforcing ribs that are arranged between the first side wall part and the second side wall part, rear end sections of the ribs protruding further rearward than a rear end section of the second side wall part.
