Abstract
A terminal block in which a plurality of conductive plates (10) connected to device-side busbars provided in a motor are made integral by a connector housing (50) made of synthetic resin includes a plurality of cores (65) in which the conductive plates (10) are made integral to a primary molded portion (61); a metal plate (30) to be attached and fixed to a motor case; and a secondary molded portion (70) integrally forming the plurality of cores (65) held in contact side by side and the metal plate (30). A contact portion (66) is provided between a pair of adjacent cores (65, 65) and the pair of adjacent cores (65, 65) are held in contact via the contact portion (66).
Claims7
A device connector for connection to device-side terminals in a device, comprising:
- a plurality of cores (65;
- 90′) each of which has a conductor (10) and a primary molded portion (61) defining an integral matrix of resin surrounding and supporting part of the respective conductor (10);
- a metal plate (30) to be attached and fixed to the device;
- and
- a secondary molded portion (70) defining an integral matrix of resin surrounding and supporting parts of the metal plate (30) and the cores (65;
- 90′) and holding cores (65;
- 90′) in contact and substantially side by side, wherein a contact portion (66;
- 91′;
- 94;
- 97;
- 100) is provided between a pair of adjacent cores (65;
- 90′) and the pair of adjacent cores (65;
- 90′) are held in contact via the contact portion (66;
- 91′;
- 94;
- 97;
- 100) in two or more directions including an injection direction of molding resin.
