Abstract
In a combination plate terminal assembly (shown in FIGS. 1A and 2), each of a pair of base plate portions (7, 8) of one combination plate terminal (2) is provided with one elongated protrusion (11, 12) located substantially intermediately between a pair of retaining portions (9, 10), i.e., located adjacent to a though hole (6) or located adjacent to the retaining portions (9, 10). In a combination plate terminal assembly (shown in FIGS. 3A and 4), retaining portions (9, 32, 19, 33) have different lengths in directions substantially parallel to extending directions of wire connecting portions, and protrusions (38, 39, 40, 41) are disposed parallel to phantom lines (M, N) which respectively connect fulcrums (21, 34) and fulcrums (22, 35) located at the root portions of the retaining portions (9, 32).
Claims12
A combination plate terminal assembly, comprising:
- a first combination plate terminal including:
- a first wire connecting portion, to which an end portion of a first electric wire is connectable;
- a first through hole, through which a tightening bolt is insertable;
- a pair of first retaining portions, between which the first through hole is located, extending in a direction substantially parallel to an extending direction of the first wire connecting portion;
- a pair of first base plate portions, between which the first through hole is located, extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the first wire connecting portion;
- and
- at least one first elongated protrusion disposed on one of the first base plate portions;
- and
- a second combination plate terminal, with which the first combination plate terminal is engageable,
- wherein the at least one first elongated protrusion extends parallel to a first phantom line connecting first fulcrums formed between the first base plate portions and the second combination plate terminal when the first combination plate terminal and the second combination plate terminal are engaged with each other.
