Abstract:
1. A connection structure, comprising: a grounding member including a ground contact surface; a first female screw hole formed on the grounding member; a second female screw hole formed on the grounding member; a receiving hole formed on the grounding member; a ground terminal fitting; a plate-like terminal main body formed on the ground terminal fitting and capable of coming into surface contact with the ground contact surface; a lock cantilevered from an outer periphery of the terminal main body, formed with a step configured to be locked with the step contact with an opening edge of the receiving hole by inserting a projecting end of the lock into the receiving; a first mounting hole formed on the terminal main body and corresponding to the first female screw hole by locking the lock to the receiving hole; and a second mounting hole formed on the terminal main body and corresponding to the second female screw hole by locking the lock to the receiving; wherein: the ground terminal fitting is mounted in surface contact with the grounding member by inserting a first bolt through the first mounting hole, screwing into the first bolt into the first female screw hole, inserting a second bolt through the second mounting hole and screwing the second bolt into the second female screw hole; a rotational force in a direction to bring the step into contact with the opening edge of the receiving hole is applied to the terminal main body when the first bolt is tightened; and the terminal main body includes at least one butting portion protruding from a side edge of the lock extending along a projecting direction and configured to prevent following rotation of the terminal main body by contacting an area of the ground contact surface near an opening area of the receiving hole when the first bolt is tightened.
