Abstract
An electronic component unit applied to a wire harness includes a power supply terminal connected to a power supply that is mounted on a vehicle and is capable of supplying power at a first voltage, a circuit branch portion that is connected to the power supply terminal to branch power supplied from the power supply into a plurality of power supply systems, and a voltage converter that is provided in at least one of the plurality of power supply systems in the circuit branch portion, and converts a voltage of the power supplied from the power supply into a second voltage lower than the first voltage to output the second voltage.
Claims4
An electronic component unit comprising:
- a power supply terminal connected to a power supply that is mounted on a vehicle and is capable of supplying power at a first voltage;
- a housing that includes a first portion configured to be located on a first surface of the power supply and a second portion configured to extend along a second surface of the power supply that is different from the first surface;
- a circuit branch portion that includes a first portion contained inside the housing and a second portion that is exposed outside of the housing and connected to the power supply terminal to branch power supplied from the power supply into a plurality of power supply systems;
- and
- a voltage converter that is provided in at least one of the plurality of power supply systems in the circuit branch portion, and converts a voltage of the power supplied from the power supply into a second voltage lower than the first voltage to output the second voltage.
A wire harness comprising:
- a first distribution box;
- a second distribution box;
- an electronic component unit provided in a power supply that is mounted on a vehicle and is capable of supplying power at a first voltage to each of the first distribution box and the second distribution box;
- a first power supply wire that supplies power at the first voltage from the first distribution box to a first device mounted on the vehicle, wherein
- the electronic component unit includes:
- a power supply terminal connected to the power supply,
- a circuit branch portion that is connected to the power supply terminal to branch power supplied from the power supply into a plurality of power supply systems, and
- a voltage converter that is provided in at least one of the plurality of power supply systems in the circuit branch portion, and converts a voltage of the power supplied from the power supply into the second voltage lower than the first voltage to output the second voltage, and
- the plurality of power systems includes a second power supply wire that supplies power at the second voltage from the second distribution box to a second device mounted on the vehicle.
