This application relates to a method of preparing a composite material for an electric wiring connector. In one embodiment, the method includes preparing a powder mixture including (i) a metal powder composed of aluminum or aluminum alloy particles and magnesium particles and (ii) a polymer powder. The method may also include sintering the powder mixture to produce a composite material for the electric wiring connector using a spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. This application also relates to a composite material for an electric wiring connector prepared through the method described above. This application further relates to a method of manufacturing an electric wiring connector, the method including forming a housing of the electric wiring connector with the composite material. This application further relates to an electric wiring connector manufactured by the method.

An electronic circuit module includes: a substrate on which a wiring pattern having an electrode portion is formed; a cable having an external insulator and a conductor portion, at least a distal end side of the external insulator being removed to expose a conductor, an exposed portion of the conductor being defined as the conductor portion; and an electronic component having terminals at least on two opposed faces of the electronic component. At least one of the terminals of the electronic component is directly connected to the conductor portion, and is configured to be electrically connected to the electrode portion through the conductor portion.

A terminal fitting is provided with a tubular connecting portion and a deflectable and deformable resilient contact portion arranged in the connecting portion. The connecting portion includes a bead extending in a front-rear direction and projecting inward toward a contact point of the resilient contact portion on a base wall portion facing the contact point. An outer surface of the base wall portion includes recesses recessed inwardly in both front and rear end parts of the bead, and a shorting terminal facing portion located outwardly of bottoms of the recesses between the both front and rear end parts of the bead.

A meter collar is an adapter that may be inserted between a meter socket box and the meter. The meter collar may include a housing that is provided with first contacts to facilitate a mechanical and electrical connection with utility-side contacts of the meter socket box and second contacts to facilitate a mechanical and electrical connection with customer-side contacts of the meter socket box.

Between a housing and a position ensuring member, provided are: a first locking mechanism that locks move of the position ensuring member at a standby position in an ensuring-operation direction toward a fitting assured position when a lever member is not at a completely fitted position; and a second locking mechanism that locks move of the position ensuring member at the fitting ensured position in an ensuring-release direction that is a reverse direction of the ensuring-operation direction when the lever member is at the completely fitted position. Between the lever member and the position ensuring member, provided is a locking release mechanism that releases a locked state of the position ensuring member with the first locking mechanism when the lever member comes at the completely fitted position.

In an electrical device, a terminal block includes a mounting hole portion formed so as to be opened in a bottom surface and a mounting bore which is formed so as to be opened in a top surface, and connects the mounting hole portion and an outside of the top surface to each other, the swing-side interlock connector includes a swing-side housing which is mounted inside the mounting hole portion, and protrudes from the mounting bore, a cover is placed on the top surface of the terminal block by fitting a fitting hole to a protruding portion (31a) of the swing-side housing protruding from the mounting bore, and a gap portion which is formed around the protruding portion (31a), and connects the mounting hole portion and the outside of the top surface to each other is covered with the cover as viewed from the side of the housing opening portion.
