A connector includes: a plate-shaped conductor having a through hole through which a fastening member is inserted; a housing holding the conductor and having an abutment surface; a nut having a screw hole into which the fastening member is screwed, and fixed to the housing along a first direction that is a direction in which the conductor extends; a support member fixed to the housing and restricting the nut from escaping from the housing; and a holding structure holding the nut, wherein the abutment surface is a surface against which a side surface of the nut abuts, such that the screw hole is positioned to be concentric with the through hole, and the holding structure holds the nut in a state where the side surface of the nut abuts against the abutment surface.

A device connector is provided with a terminal block including a resin housing having a tubular portion and three or more terminals, and a connector cover for covering one end side opening of the tubular portion. Connecting portions of the three or more terminals project from a first partial inner peripheral surface toward a second partial inner peripheral surface of the tubular portion. The connector cover includes an inserting portion to be inserted into the tubular portion, a resin cover portion having separation walls and a sealing ring. The plurality of separation walls respectively partition the three or more connecting portions. First ribs project along the first partial inner peripheral surface from each of the plurality of separation walls, and second ribs extend along the second partial inner peripheral surface from each of the plurality of separation walls.

A conductive component structure of rail-type terminal device includes a conductive component disposed in an insulation case body. The conductive component has a first section and a second section connected with the base section. The first section and the second section are respectively formed with a bow portion, a first portion and a second portion. A load arm and an elastic unit assembled with the load arm are disposed on the first section and/or the second section. The elastic unit includes a first elastic section and a second elastic section. The load arm passes through the first elastic section and at least a part of the second elastic section. When the load arm is displaced or moved, the first elastic section and the second elastic section respectively provide tension (or pushback force) and pulling force effect so as to improve the shortcoming of the conventional terminal device.

An electrical post relocation assembly is configured for use with an electrical component of a vehicle. The electrical component includes a first and second components post configured to be coupled to first and second cables, respectively. The electrical post relocation has first and second relocation posts. The first relocation post is formed from a first electrical conductor and has a first end configured to be coupled to the first component post. A second end of the first relocation post is configured to be coupled to the first terminal fitting of the first cable. Similar to the first relocation post, the second relocation post is also formed from an electrical conductor. A first end of the second relocation post is configured to be coupled to the second component post, and a second end of the second relocation post is configured to be coupled to the second terminal.

An example terminal block may include a frame that is to attach to a power supply casing. The frame may be formed from an electrical insulator, and may include a base, exterior walls connected to the base, and a number of interior walls that separate an interior region of the frame into multiple compartments. The example terminal block may include a cover that may be formed from an electrical insulator and may be connected to the frame such that the cover may transition between an open position and a closed position. Each of the compartments may electrically isolate bus bars from one another, where the bus bars extend from within the power supply casing into the frame. The base may include a nut holder in each of the compartments, each of the nut holders having a cavity formed therein that is shaped so as to hold a nut captive.

Aspects of the instant disclosure relate to electronic cigarettes; more particularly, to electronic cigarettes including a power supply portion. In various embodiments, the eCig power supply portion includes a sub-assembly housing substantially containing a battery, an airflow sensor, and controller circuitry. Aspects of the disclosure are further directed to an eCig power supply portion further including a hemicylindrical port and/or electrical contacts aligned along a longitudinal axis of the power supply portion.

A drive device includes: a drive unit including a rotary electric machine and a drive unit case that houses the rotary electric machine; a control unit including a control device configured to control the rotary electric machine; and a connection unit including a connection line that electrically connects the rotary electric machine and the control device. The control unit is disposed at a position facing the outer peripheral surface of the drive unit case. A space portion is provided between the outer peripheral surface of the drive unit case and the control unit. The connection unit is provided such that the connection line electrically connects the rotary electric machine and the control device through the space portion.

A connector 10 disclosed by an embodiment includes a cover (service cover 20) having a cover housing 21 and a cover connector 40, the cover connector 40 being integrally provided to the cover housing 21, and a device-side connector 50 having a receptacle 52, the cover housing 21 being fittable into the receptacle 52, a mating connector 60 configured to close an interlock circuit by being connected to the cover connector 40 being disposed inside the receptacle 52. The cover housing 21 includes preceding guide portions 27 configured to guide the cover connector 40 into a proper posture to be connectable to the mating connector 60 by sliding on an opening edge part 56 of the receptacle 52 prior to the connection of the cover connector 40 and the mating connector 60.

A connector manufacturing method includes: a first insertion process of inserting a conductor held by a housing through an annular seal member; a second insertion process of inserting the conductor through an annular portion of a support member; a pushing-in process of pushing the seal member into a gap between an inner circumferential surface of a recess in the housing and the conductor by pressing the seal member using the annular portion; and an engagement process of making the annular portion support the seal member at a predetermined position by engaging the support member and the housing, wherein the predetermined position is a position before a bottom portion of the recess.

A connector includes: a plate-shaped conductor having a through hole through which a fastening member is inserted; a housing holding the conductor and having an abutment surface; a nut having a screw hole into which the fastening member is screwed, and fixed to the housing along a first direction that is a direction in which the conductor extends; a support member fixed to the housing and restricting the nut from escaping from the housing; and a holding structure holding the nut, wherein the abutment surface is a surface against which a side surface of the nut abuts, such that the screw hole is positioned to be concentric with the through hole, and the holding structure holds the nut in a state where the side surface of the nut abuts against the abutment surface.
