Abstract:
1. A connection terminal that can interconnect a terminal of a bus bar and an output cable and that is provided with a terminal main body, wherein a first end of the terminal main body has an insertion connecting portion into which the terminal of the bus bar can be inserted, and a second end has a cable press-fitting portion to which a core wire of the output cable that is to be connected to the terminal main body is press-fitted, the insertion connecting portion includes a holding portion that is substantially in a shape of a quadrangular cylinder integrally formed on the first end of the terminal main body, and an elastic contact piece that is extended into the holding portion, the elastic contact piece is extended from a first side of the holding portion at the first end of the terminal main body, folded hack toward the second end, and bent so as to be in contact with an inner face of a second side of the holding portion, the second side of the holding portion being opposite the first side of the holding portion, and, thus, is provided with an elastic repulsive force, a bent portion of a face of the elastic contact piece has a protrusion portion, the face of the elastic contact piece opposing the inner face of the second side of the holding portion, and the protrusion portion is provided so as to project more outward than the inner face of the second side of the holding portion, and the terminal of the bus bar is forcibly introduced into between the elastic contact piece and the holding portion using the elastic repulsive force of the elastic contact piece, and the terminal of the bus bar and the output cable are electrically connected to each other via the elastic contact piece.
