Abstract: An automotive battery connection system, which includes a substantially cylindrical battery case acting as a terminal for an automotive battery. The battery case includes partitions defining a keyway for cables and a center partition dividing the battery case into two case pockets. A battery positive post is situated within one of the case pockets. A battery negative post is situated in the other of the case pockets. A substantially cylindrical plug is adapted to seat on the partitions of the battery case. The plug comprises a pair of sockets defined within its base, each socket defined within one of the plug pockets shaped identical to the battery positive post and the battery negative post and sized to have the battery positive post and the battery negative post securely seat therein. Therefore, cables terminating within the base of the plug are in conductive communication with the sockets.

Abstract: A battery connector system includes a tray assembly configured to be mounted to a battery module made from a plurality of battery cells. The tray assembly has a tray and a plurality of busbars held by the tray. The tray has a tray connector defining a mating interface being configured to mate with an electrical connector. The electrical connector may be either a wire harness connector or a circuit board connector. The busbars are coupled to the tray and have plates being configured to be electrically connected to corresponding cell tabs of the battery cells. The busbars have fuse terminals positioned in the tray connector. A plurality of fuses are coupled to the fuse terminals. The fuses may be serviceable fuses or resettable fuses. The fuses are connected between the plates of the busbars and the electrical connector.

Abstract: A component-equipped-holder mounting structure having an electric component; a holder holding the electric component; and a holder mounting portion. The electric component includes a housing and a terminal extending therefrom. The holder includes a holder body, a pair of holder arms extending therefrom and configured to position the housing therebetween, the holder arms holding the electric component displaceably such that the electric component is positioned in a longitudinal direction of a mating terminal to be connected to the electric component, and a locking portion protruding from the pair of holder arms and configured to be brought into locking engagement with the housing. The holder mounting portion includes an accommodating portion accommodating therein a mating terminal with the holder slidably inserted into the holder mounting portion.

Abstract: There is provided an electric connection box in which even when a housing of a fuse is fusedly damaged by heat radiation or melting of a fusible element of the fuse, the fusedly-damaged housing can be restrained from adhering to an inner bottom portion of a fuse cavity. The inner bottom portion (11a) of the fuse cavity has a projecting portion (16) formed on an inner bottom face thereof and extending upwardly from the inner bottom face, and an upper face (16c, 16d) of the projecting portion (16) abuts against a lower face (21b) of the housing (21) of the fuse (2), and a gap (15e) is formed between the inner bottom face and the lower face (21b) of the housing (21) because of the projecting portion (16).

Abstract: An electrical component holder contains an electrical component to be connected to an internal circuit of a vehicle-installed electrical junction box. The holder has a casing main body and a lid to be mounted on an upper surface of the casing main body. The casing main body has a box-like configuration that is open at a lower end so that the casing main body can be placed on an electrical component mounting section of the electrical junction box. The casing main body has an upper wall that defines a through-hole that receives and holds a support portion of a terminal member of the electrical component. The support portion of the terminal member is inserted into and secured to the through-hole so that the terminal member projects into a hollow interior of the casing main body. The terminal member is inserted into and secured to a terminal aperture in the electrical component mounting section, under the condition that the casing main body is attached to the electrical component mounting section.

Abstract: A terminal block for connecting electric wires using a removable contact, such as a fuse, with flat pins, includes an insulating body and two conducting elements housed inside the body. Associated with respective terminals for retaining the free end of a respective electric wire, the conducting elements including, at an end opposite to the end for retaining the wire, a resilient clamp which is open on one side for insertion, retention and electric contact with the respective flat pin of the movable contact.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a connector of an electromagnetic clutch for a compressor and a manufacturing method thereof. The method includes the steps of arranging a leading end of a lead wire 62 or 72 of at least one discharge device 60 or remaining magnetic field removing device 70, which configures a surge absorbing circuit, to a terminal 50 installed in a connector 30 configuring a field coil assembly and having a coupling slot 56 formed in one side thereof; plastically deforming at least one slot bridge 57 to fix the lead wire 62 or 72 to the coupling slot 56; and making the connector 30 in a state where the terminal 50 is fixed to an assembly of at least the discharge device 60 or remaining magnetic field removing device 70 by injection molding.

Abstract: A fuse holder assembly for a vehicle generally includes an insulator configured for supporting a circuit lead terminal and insulating the circuit lead terminal from a bus bar. The insulator includes a fuse receiver, wherein the fuse receiver is configured to releasably receive a fuse.

Abstract: An in-line fuse holder, assembly and system for plug in connection to a female fuse.

Abstract: A low-profile fuse (10) includes a tab terminal (15) provided at an end of a fuse element (17), and a protective projection (12) provided in a middle part (11c) of a fuse body (11) for protecting the fuse element (17). Said low-profile fuse (10) is adapted to a housing (50) of a fuse cavity (55). Guides (67A), (67B) is provided on the housing (50) for preventing the low-profile fuse (10) from being inserted obliquely into the housing (50). Said guides (67A), (67B) of the housing (50) are allowed to make contact with the protective projection (12) of the fuse (10). Slopes (67c), (67d), (67e), (67f) are provided on the guides (67A), (67B). The guides (67A), (67B) are taller than the terminal (30) mounted on the housing (50). This fuse cavity is provided in an electric junction box (1).
