Abstract
A circuit body consisting of two circuit members 11, 12 is provided. In each circuit member, a plurality of bus bars 13 are juxtaposed at regular intervals and carried by resinous holders 14, 15. In producing, the circuit members 11, 12 are mutually overlapped by slide movement of the circuit member 11 on one hand along the circuit member 12 on the other hand. Then, the so-laminated circuit members 11, 12 are fixed to each other by means of resinous molding. The circuit member 11 is provided with an adjusting part 21. When sliding the circuit member 11, the adjusting part 21 comes into prior contact with the circuit member 12, so that respective connecting parts 20 of the bus bars 13 of the circuit member 11 are raised from the circuit member 12.
Claims10
A circuit member comprising:
- a plurality of bus bars made of conductive material, each bus bar having a terminal end and a connecting end;
- at least one holding part for holding the bus bars in their juxtaposed state, the holding part being made of insulating material;
- and
- an adjusting part formed integrally with the bus bars and positioned proximate to the connecting ends of the bus bars, the adjusting part being made of insulating material and having an adjusting face on a first plane substantially parallel to and different from a second plane including the connecting ends of the bus bars.
A circuit body comprising:
- a first circuit member having a plurality of bus bars made of conductive material, each bus bar having a terminal end and a connecting end, and at least one holding part for holding the bus bars in their juxtaposed state, the holding part being made of insulating material;
- a second circuit member having a plurality of bus bars made of conductive material, each bus bar having a terminal end and a connecting end, and at least one holding part made of insulating material for holding the bus bars in their juxtaposed state, the second circuit member being overlaid with the first circuit member by sliding the first and second circuit members relatively to each other;
- and
- molding material surrounding and fixedly holding the so-laminated first and second circuit members;
- wherein the first circuit member further includes an adjusting part which is formed integrally with the bus bars and positioned proximate to connecting ends of the bus bars, the adjusting part being made of insulating material and having an adjusting face on a first plane substantially parallel to and different from a second plane including the connecting ends of the bus bars;
- whereby, when relatively sliding the first and second circuit members to each other, the adjusting part of the first circuit member comes into contact with the second circuit member while taking priority over any other portions of the first circuit member, so that the bus bars of the first circuit member can be maintained apart from the second circuit member during the relative sliding.
