Abstract:
A ground connection structure includes a stud bolt (11) standing on a ground surface (10A), and a non-circular rotation stopping portion (12) is formed on a base part of the stud bolt (11). A ground terminal fitting (20) is to be connected conductively to the ground surface (10). The ground terminal fitting (20) has a non-circular rotation stopping hole (25) that is fit to the rotation stopping portion (12) with relative rotation restricted. Resilient contact pieces (27) extend in an axial direction of the stud bolt (11) from an edge of the rotation stopping hole (25). A nut (15) is screwed onto the stud bolt (11) and causes the resilient contact pieces (27) to be deflected resiliently between the nut (15) and the ground surface (10).
