Ground connection fitting and ground connection device using same

摘要

It is aimed to provide a ground connection fitting capable of enhancing the reliability of connection of a ground wire to ground sections and a ground connection device using the same. A first ground connection fitting (1) connects a ground wire (E1) to a first bolt (B1) and a second bolt (B2), which a plurality of ground sections provided on a wall surface of a vehicle. The first ground connection fitting (1) includes a wire connecting portion formed by a wire-side terminal portion (4) to be mounted on an end of the ground wire (E1), and a ground-side terminal portion (5) formed with a first bolt connection hole (6) connectable to the first bolt (B1) and a second bolt connection hole (7) connectable to the second bolt (B2).

主权项

1. A ground connection device for collectively connecting ground wires to first and second ground sections provided on a wall surface in a vehicle and spaced from one another along an arrangement direction, comprising:
a first ground connection fitting with a first wire connecting portion projecting transverse to the arrangement direction and shaped to be connectable to an end of at least one first ground wire and a first ground-side terminal portion defining a plate extending in the arrangement direction and having opposite upper and lower surfaces, the first ground-side terminal portion including a first ground section connection part connectable to the first ground section and a second ground section connection part connectable to the second ground section and having a step between the first and second ground section connection parts, the first and second ground section connection parts being formed respectively with first and second press-contact portions and first and second coupling portions; a second ground connection fitting with a second wire connecting portion shaped to be connectable to an end of at least one second ground wire different from the first ground wire and a second ground-side terminal portion including a first ground section connection part that is pressed by the first press-contact portion into contact with the first coupling portion at the lower surface of the first ground-side terminal portion for simultaneous connection of the first ground section connection parts of the first and second ground connection fittings to the first ground section; and a third ground connection fitting with a third wire connecting portion shaped to be connectable to an end of at least one third ground wire different from the first and second ground wires and a third ground-side terminal portion including a second ground section connection part that is pressed by the second press-contact portion into contact with the second coupling portion at the upper surface of the first ground-side terminal portion for simultaneous connection of the second ground section connection parts of the first and third ground connection fittings to the second ground section, wherein the lower surface of a part of the first ground-side terminal portion located below the third ground-side terminal portion is at the same height as a lower surface of the second ground-side terminal portion.
