Claim 0:
1. A conductive module comprising:
a conductive component that includes a flat laminated body of a plurality of flexible electric conductors and a flexible electric insulator and electrically connects the electric conductors to a plurality of battery cells arranged in an array direction;
a thermistor that is provided for a temperature detection target among all battery cells in a state where the thermistor is placed on an electrical connection part of a bifurcated body that is bifurcated from a main body of the conductive component, and is configured to detect the temperature of a battery cell as the temperature detection target;
a housing that houses or/and holds the conductive component;
a heat transfer member configured to transfer heat of the electrical connection part to the thermistor; and
a pressing member separable from the housing and configured to press the electrical connection part, wherein
the conductive component is a flexible printed circuit substrate,
the bifurcated body is a part including the flexible electric insulator, the electrical connection part housing at least one of the plurality of flexible electric conductors for the thermistor, and a coupling part that couples the electrical connection part to the main body, the bifurcated body being bifurcated from the main body separately from any electrical connection member that extends from the main body and is configured to be coupled to electrical connection terminals of the battery cells,
the electrical connection part is a part that connects the thermistor physically and electrically to the at least one of the plurality of flexible electric conductors for the thermistor and allows heat of an outer wall surface of the battery cell to be directly or indirectly transferred from a surface on a side opposite to a placement surface on which the thermistor is placed to the electrical connection part,
the housing includes a path guiding part that guides the coupling part, bifurcated from the main body, to the electrical connection part without causing the coupling part to interfere with another component that is different from a component of the conductive module on the outer wall surface side,
the path guiding part is a cutout part provided to the housing,
the heat transfer member is provided on and in contact with the placement surface side of the electrical connection part to transfer the heat of the electrical connection part to the thermistor, and
the pressing member being configured to press the electrical connection part toward the outer wall surface through the heat transfer member, wherein the electrical connection part is pressed against and in contact with the heat transfer member.
