Patent ID: 7193841

Claim:
A circuit assembly, comprising: a bus bar substrate including: a plurality of bus bars constituting an electrical power circuit; circuit components connected to the electrical power circuit; and a plurality of upright terminals extending from at least one of the plurality of bus bars, a control circuit substrate being disposed substantially in parallel to the bus bar substrate and including: a control circuit for controlling the circuit components; and through-holes into which the plurality of upright terminals are inserted and connected electrically, and a heat-insulating member interposed between the bus bar substrate and the control circuit substrate for performing a heat-insulating function between the substrates, the heat-insulating member including: a body section disposed between the bus bar substrate and the control circuit substrate; and positioning and reinforcing sections for positioning the upright terminals at the positions corresponding to the through-holes and preventing the upright terminals from being deformed between the substrates, respectively.
