Abstract:
In the breaker device, a pair of stationary electrodes 20, 21 are arranged on the front and the rear side of the protruding wall 18, that is, the pair of stationary electrodes 20, 21 are collected at one place. Therefore, the pair of stationary electrodes 20, 21 have a space round both the stationary electrodes in common. Accordingly, the size of the breaker device can be reduced. Further, when the radius of curvature of the continuity section 73 connecting the pinching pieces 71, 72 is made large, concentration of stress in the movable electrode 70 can be relieved. Therefore, the pinching forces of both the pinching pieces 71, 72 can be increased. Accordingly, it is possible to ensure a sufficiently high contact pressure between the movable electrode 70 and the stationary electrodes 20, 21.

Abstract:
An electric wire cover (60) is mounted on a lower portion of a housing (31) of a female connector (30). The electric wire cover (60) is accommodated inside a rectangular box-shaped connector-holding part (22) formed on a bottom wall (20A) of a lower cover (20), and an elastic piece (63) is interposed between the female connector (30) and the connector-holding part (22). Thus, the female connector (30) is supported for elastic displacement in a wait state. In consequence of mounting of the lower cover (20) on the body (11), the female connector (30) is connected to a connector connection part (13) of the body (11) of an electrical connection box. Thus in the case where there is a dislocation between the female connector (30) and the connector connection part (13), the female connector (30) shifts along the bottom wall (20A) of the lower cover (20), thus absorbing the dislocation.
Abstract:
An electrical connector housing or automobile junction box is provided that forms internal circuits in a simplified way. The electrical connector housing includes at least one case which is to receive a plurality of circuit blocks, or layers, each of which includes at least one X-directional bus bar layer and at least one Y-directional bus bar layer superposed thereon. The X-directional and Y-directional bus bar layers contain strip-shaped bus bars laminated with insulative film. The strip-shaped bus bars are arranged in parallel at a given interval, respectively in an X direction and in a Y direction perpendicular thereto. The plurality of circuit blocks or layers are then superposed on one another with insulator plates interposed therebetween, such that the bus bars arranged in the X and Y directions form cross points. The cross points are electrically connected to circuits at desired cross points, for example by rivets or pins, so as to form branched circuits. The bus bars in the X and Y directions have folded end portions to form tabs for connection to external circuitry. A power block, current block and splice block may be included and may be individually replaced.

A cable includes a conductive wire, preferably of copper, and an insulating sheath, preferably of synthetic resin, covering the wire. The conductive wire has, for example, a rectangular cross section. The cable can be pressed into a slit of a cramping terminal with an improved operability and a temperature increase of the conductive wire 21 can be suppressed.
Abstract:
An upper casing and a lower casing together form a casing of an electrical connection box. An insulating plate is provided within the casing. A first space is thereby defined within the casing between the insulating plate and the one of the upper and lower casings, and a second space defined within the casing between the insulating plate and the remaining one of the upper and lower casings. A first circuit, formed by bus bars, is disposed in the first space. A second circuit is formed by wires and pressing contact terminals in pressing contact with the wires. Wires of a portion of the second circuit are shifted to the first space, and wires of the remaining portion of the second circuit are disposed within the second space.
Abstract:
An electrical connection box includes an internal circuit in which a several pressing contact terminals are brought into pressing contact with a wire. Input-output terminals of the pressing contact terminals are connected to external circuits. The wire includes an electrically operative portion between one of the pressing contact terminals connected to an external electrical heating element (such as a relay, a fuse, or the like) and another one of the pressing contact terminals. In one example (FIGS. 5 and 6), the electrically operative portion is shifted from a minimal distance path, which takes into account other wires and obstacles, between the one pressing contact terminal and the another pressing contact terminal. This lengthens the wiring path of the wire to a region having a low wiring density which provides additional surface area for heat dissipation. In another examples, (FIGS. 7 and 8) inoperative ends (b, c) of the wire are extend and used to dissipate heat. An inoperative separate wire (W6) can also dissipate heat (FIG. 6). A large contact area (FIGS. 10-18) can dissipate heat and may be formed with splice wires (FIG. 11) and/or a large opening for loosely receiving a wire (FIG. 18).

The internal circuits comprise wires (W1,W2) arranged in at least one stage, and connection terminals (15A-15D;15E;120) which are connected with any of the wires (W1,W2) and which extend to respective receiving portions (17-20;30;18'; 116,117) of the casing (10,11; 111,112) so as to form input/output terminal portions (15c) for the electrical connection with the external circuits. The electrical connection box is formed such that, using one type of connection terminal (15A-15D;15E;120), the distance between the connection point of a connection terminal with a wire (W1,W2) and the corresponding engaging surface (S;116a-118a) is adjusted in accordance with the type of connecting portion (22-25;31;3';23) of the external circuit.
Abstract:
An electrical connection box has upper and lower casings (10, 11) for accommodating circuitry. A surrounding wall (10a) of the upper casing (10) fits inside a surrounding wall (11a) of the lower casing (11). Engaging locking claws (10b, 11b) project from the outer surface of the surrounding wall (10a) of the upper casing (10) and from the inner surface of the surrounding wall (11a) of the lower casing (11). An upper wall of the upper casing (10) is inclined down from a center portion to three peripheral edges. A drainage path (13) is defined by a clearance between the surrounding walls (10a, 11a) of the upper and lower casings (10, 11). A bottom wall of the lower casing (11) has drainage holes (14) at the bottom end of the drainage path (13).
