Abstract:
A bus bar module comprising an elongate bus bar made of a conductive metallic material and having opposite first and second ends; and a resin insulating layer integrally molded around the bus bar, wherebythe resin insulating layer comprises a first section extending from a location in proximity to the first end of the elongate bus bar to a location between the first and second ends of the elongate bus bar, the resin insulating layer further comprising a second section extending from a location in proximity to the second end of the elongate bus bar to a location in proximity to the first section of the resin insulating layer, a distortion absorptive gap being provided between the first and second sections of the resin insulating layer for allowing a distortion to be absorbed that results from a difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the bus bar and the insulating layer.
