ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE CONNECTING MEMBER, PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE CONNECTING MEMBER, AND BATTERY EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE CONNECTING MEMBER AS ELECTRODE

摘要

The present invention provides an electrically conductive connecting member which can be used for a battery having a plus output terminal and a minus output terminal that are composed of different metals from each other and which does not undergo electrolytic corrosion and the reduction in electric resistance and has excellent mechanical strength. This electrically conductive connecting member (1) is used for a battery in which a pair of output terminals are composed of different metals from each other, and comprises an electrode section (a bar-shaped section (10)) which is connected to one of the output terminals and is composed of the same metal as that used for one of the output terminals and a bus bar section (a band-plate-shaped section (11)) which is connected to the electrode section and is composed of the same metal as that used for the other output terminal, wherein the electrode section and the bus bar section are integrated with each other through diffusion bonding.
