Abstract
An electric power distributor is mountable on a motor vehicle for distributing power from a power source installed in the motor vehicle to a plurality of electric load units equipped in the vehicle, and is provided with an input conductive strip having an input terminal at one end thereof, a plurality of output conductive strips each having an output terminal at one end thereof, an insulating holder for holding the input conductive strip and the output conductive strips on the same plane, and a plurality of semiconductor switching elements. The input terminal and the output terminals are projected in the same direction substantially orthogonal to the plane of the insulating holder.

An electric power distributor mountable on a motor vehicle for distributing power from a power source installed in the motor vehicle to a plurality of electric load units equipped in the vehicle, the power distributor comprising:
- an input conductive strip formed with an input terminal at one end thereof;
- a plurality of output conductive strips each formed with an output terminal at one end thereof;
- an insulating holder for holding the input conductive strip and the output conductive strips on the same plane;
- and
- a plurality of semiconductor switching elements each including an input terminal connected to the input conductive strip and an output terminal connected to a corresponding output conductive strip to control on and off of electric current supply between the input conductive strip and the output conductive strip in accordance with an external control signal,
- wherein the input terminal and the output terminals are projected in the same direction substantially orthogonal to the plane of the insulating holder.
