A fuse-equipped hermetic terminal includes: a housing provided with a hollow portion and a pair of through holes located with the hollow portion being interposed therebetween; a conductive pin extending through the housing via the pair of through holes and the hollow portion; and a pair of insulating sealing materials that each hermetically seal a gap between the conductive pin and a corresponding one of the pair of through holes. Each of the conductive pins includes an inner pin, an outer pin, and a fuse element that bridges between the inner pin and the outer pin and that is located in the hollow portion.

Included are a battery terminal connected to a battery post erected on a first surface of a battery, a battery connection unit provided with an electronic component connected to the battery terminal and to which ends of electric wires are connected, and a accommodating member that accommodates the battery terminal and the battery connection unit. The accommodating member has a through-hole through which the battery post is inserted, a terminal accommodating chamber in which a free end side of the battery post inserted through the through-hole is arranged and which accommodates the battery terminal connected to the free end side, and a butting portion that is projected from a periphery of the through-hole toward the first surface of the battery and made abut on the first surface.

A fuse unit includes a bus bar and a housing. The bus bar includes a power source-side connection section, an output-side connection section, and a fusible body. A terminal configured to be connected to the output-side connection section includes a bent section and protrusion sections. The housing includes a terminal accommodation section for accommodating the output-side connection. The accommodation space is enclosed with side walls standing upright on both sides of the output-side connection section in an insertion direction of the terminal and on a deep side thereof in the insertion direction of the terminal. The terminal accommodation section includes terminal insertion start-side movement restricting walls and a height-direction and terminal insertion start-side movement restricting wall.

Example implementations relate to a power connector. For example, an implementation of a power connector includes a circuit board contact to insert into a circuit board, a pluggable power input contact to removably plug into a power distribution system of an electronic system external to the circuit board, and a conductive body connecting the pluggable power input contact and the circuit board contact. The conductive body may be narrowed to a fusible region between the pluggable power input contact and the circuit board contact.

A conductive spring plate fixing element is used to limit a live wire spring plate and a live wire conductive plate from contacting with each other, as well as a neutral wire spring plate and a neutral wire conductive plate from contacting with each other. The width of the limited part of the live wire spring plate is T1, the width of the limited part of the neutral wire spring plate is T2, and the live wire spring plate is separated from the neutral wire spring plate by an insulation distance L. The conductive spring plate fixing element includes a first limiting end and a second limiting end; whereas, the distance between the first limiting end and the second limiting end, M, is equal to T1+T2+L.

A charging and discharging system includes a vehicle, a cable, and a charging and discharging device. The vehicle includes an electric storage device, a first fuse, and an inlet. The cable includes a connector, a second fuse, and a power line. The charging and discharging device is configured to convert AC power supplied from a commercial AC power source into DC power and to supply the DC power to the electric storage device via the cable in a charging mode. The charging and discharging device is configured to convert DC power supplied from the electric storage device via the cable into AC power and to supply the AC power to a load in a discharging mode. The first fuse is configured to be melted and cut earlier than the second fuse when the power line causes a short circuit in the discharging mode.
