A contact device includes a housing having a housing interior, a screw having a screw head and a shaft connected to the screw head, the shaft extending along a screw axis and having a first thread, a screw locking device connecting the screw head to the housing by a force-based and/or an interlocking engagement, and a first contact element for contacting a second contact element of a further contact device. The first contact element and the screw are arranged in the housing interior.

A terminal assembly structure according to one or more embodiments includes: a terminal having a crimp portion configured to crimp and connect to a core wire of an electric wire and a fastening portion configured to be fastened by a fastening member; and a holder having a base configured to mount the terminal when fastening the terminal to the holder. The holder has a plurality of ribs extending in a fastening direction of the fastening member and arranged around the fastening portion of the terminal when the fastening portion is set and positioned onto the base.

The present disclosure provides a circuit assembly that has a novel structure, with which it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a problem caused by an excessive repulsive force of a heat conductive member by controlling the repulsive force of the heat conductive member. A circuit assembly includes: a heat generation component; bus bars that are connected to connecting portions of the heat generation component; an insulating base member that holds the heat generation component and the bus bars; and an elastic heat conductive member that is in thermal contact with the bus bars. The bus bars press the heat conductive member in a mounting direction in which the bus bars are mounted on the base member. As a result of the bus bars abutting against bus bar positioning portions provided on the base member, the positions of the bus bars in the mounting direction are defined.

A rotating electric machine for a vehicle includes a rectifier fixed to an outer side of the frame member and constituting a rectification circuit which rectifies the alternating current generated by the stator; a battery terminal protruding from the rectifier and configured to be connected with a battery cable; an insulating member having a through hole in which the battery terminal is inserted; and a waterproof cap attached to the insulating member so as to cover a connection part of the battery terminal with the battery cable in a waterproof state. The insulating member includes an annular protruding part protruding inward from an inner peripheral surface of the through hole. The protruding part is in contact with an outer peripheral surface of the battery terminal in such a state that the protruding part is elastically deformed.
