Further, since the bus bar main body 42 is sandwiched by the pair of clamp plates 78, the bus bar 40 can be easily attached to the holding member 70.

Further, since the fuse side fastening portion 61 of the fuse 60 is fastened to the 2 nd main body side fastening portion 53, an electric wire for connecting the 2 nd terminal main body portion and the fuse in the related art is not required, and the number of components and the number of assembly man-hours can be reduced.

Further, since the fuse side fastening portion 61 of the fuse 60 is rotatably fastened to the 2 nd main body side fastening portion 53, the wiring direction of the electric wire connected to the 2 nd electric wire fastening portion 63 of the fuse 60 can be set to a direction other than the rear direction.

Further, the bus bar 40 can be held by the holding member 70.

Further, the fuse 60 can be held by the holding member 70.

< other embodiments >

The technology disclosed in the present specification is not limited to the embodiments described above and illustrated in the drawings, and includes, for example, the following various embodiments.

(1) In the present embodiment, the 1 st terminal 30 is used for grounding and the 2 nd terminal 50 is used for power supply, but the opposite is possible.

(2) In the present embodiment, the hexagonal fusion nut 110 is fixed to the 1 st main body side fastening portion 33 and the 2 nd main body side fastening portion 53 by fusion, but a general nut that is not fixed by fusion may be used.

(3) In the present embodiment, the 1 st terminal 30 and the 2 nd terminal 50 are terminals for quick charging, but may be terminals for normal charging.

(4) In the present embodiment, the bus bar 40 of the 1 st terminal 30 is extended rightward from the 1 st main body side fastening portion 33, but the 1 st terminal main body may be rotated or the bus bar side fastening portion may be rotated to direct the bus bar in another direction (for example, obliquely downward). Similarly, the fuse of the 2 nd terminal may be oriented obliquely downward. In this case, the protruding portion of the holding member may also protrude obliquely downward.

(5) In the present embodiment, the bus bar 40 of the 1 st terminal 30 and the fuse 60 of the 2 nd terminal 50 held by the holding member 70 are configured to extend rightward, but the holding member 70 may be attached to the quick charging unit 14 by rotating it 180 degrees, so that the bus bar of the 1 st terminal and the fuse of the 2 nd terminal held by the holding member extend leftward. The wires connected to the bus bar and the fuse can thus be routed to the left.
