A ground wire connection structure for a motor includes: a frame that has electrical conductivity; a flange that is integrated with the frame on one axial end surface of the frame and has electrical conductivity; a protrusion that is protruded outward from a flange surface of the flange and has a through hole; and a conductive pin that has a press-fit portion press-fitted and fixed into the through hole, a diameter-increased head portion, and a solder cup protruded from the head portion to allow an exposed tip end of a ground wire to be inserted and joined into the inside.

A contact pad is provided. The contact pad may be a strip-shaped component and forms at least one opening. A circuit device is also provided. The circuit device has a circuit board, at least one contact pad as mentioned above, and a cable. The contact pad is mounted on the circuit board as a connecting spot. The cable has at least one wire. The wire is mounted on the contact pad and covers the opening of the contact pad. An interval is formed in the opening and between the circuit board and the wire. With such structure, a capacitance formed between the wire and the circuit board may be the smallest and the impedance value may be the largest. Besides, the capacitance value can be adjusted via changing the material inside the interval or an area of the contact pad or the opening.

A solderable component comprises a body portion configured to be mounted on a board and an auxiliary portion extending from the body portion. The body portion has at least two solderable portions. The at least two solderable portions include two predetermined solderable portions. The auxiliary portion has one abutment portion and a coupling portion. The abutment portion and lower ends of the two predetermined solderable portions define a board-attachment plane which is an imaginary plane. The coupling portion couples the abutment portion and the body portion to each other. A boundary between the coupling portion and the body portion is apart from the abutment portion in a plane in parallel to the board-attachment plane. The coupling portion is separable from the body portion at the boundary between the coupling portion and the body portion.

A harness component (1) includes a plurality of terminals (2), a housing (3) and a plurality of electric wires (4). The plurality of terminals (2) each have a rod-shaped rod terminal portion (21) connected to a circuit board (11), and a bent terminal portion (22) formed by bending a conductive plate. The housing (3) has a plurality of through-holes (31) and a plurality of terminal storage holes (32). The rod terminal portions (21) of the respective terminals (2) pass through the through-holes (31). The bent terminal portions (22) are arranged in the respective terminal storage holes (32). The terminal storage holes (32) are connected to the through-holes (31) and each have an opening (321) on the side opposite to the corresponding through-hole (31). Each of the electric wires (4) is inserted into the terminal storage hole (32) from the corresponding openings (321). Each of the electric wires (4) is fastened to the corresponding bent terminal portion (22).

An apparatus and method for fastening dissimilar materials like steel, plastic and aluminum. A resistance welding fastener having multiple layers may be used with or without a sealant. The fastener may be used to form an aluminum covered steel laminate via a hemming pattern of attachment. The fastener may have a solid shaft or have an extended reach and have features for interacting with the welding electrode. A variety of electrode tips may be employed to cooperate with the fastener.

A connection structure comprises a cable and a connection object. The cable includes two wires and an insulation body which covers and binds the two wires. The insulation body includes two coverings which cover the wires, respectively. The connection object comprises a base portion and a pressing member. The base portion has a catch portion and a cable-holding portion. The cable has a held section and a pressed section. The held section is held by the cable-holding portion. The pressed section is sandwiched and pressed between the pressing member and the catch portion in an upper-lower direction (Z-direction). The insulation body of the pressed section includes a coupling strip. The coupling strip couples the two coverings to each other in a lateral direction (Y-direction).

A battery module includes a plurality of pouch-type secondary batteries arranged to be stacked in at least one direction, each secondary battery having an electrode lead, and a bus bar made of an electrically conductive material and bonded to at least two electrode leads of corresponding secondary batteries to electrically connect the corresponding secondary batteries to each other.
