Abstract:
An electric component unit comprising:an insulating casing formed with a through-hole through which a connection conductor is inserted at an end thereof into said insulating casing;a terminal fitment arranged in said insulating casing so as to interposedly hold the end of the connection conductor inserted through said through-hole into said insulating casing; andan electric component arranged in said insulating casing and electrically connected to the terminal fitment;said terminal fitment including a conductor holding section for holding the end of the connection conductor;said conductor holding section including a body portion formed with a conductor end inserting hole through which the end of the connection conductor is inserted and four holding elements each having a base integrally connected to an edge of said conductor end inserting hole and arranged in a manner to be spaced from each other at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction thereof;said holding elements each including a distal portion arranged so as to be inclined in a direction of insertion of the connection conductor through said conductor end inserting hole when the end of the connection conductor inserted forces it in the direction of insertion of the connection conductor and so as to bite into the end of the connection conductor when drawing force is applied to the connection conductor;two of said holding elements being so arranged that said distal portions thereof are opposite to each other with the end of the connection conductor being interposed therebetween and contacted with the end of the connection conductor;the remaining two of said holding elements being so arranged that said distal portions thereof are positioned forwardly or rearwardly in a longitudinal direction of the connection conductor based on a position at which said two holding elements are contacted with the end of the connection conductor while being contacted with the end of the connection conductor and interposing the end of the connection conductor therebetween.
