Terminal base of power supply device for electric vehicle

摘要

A terminal base of a power supply device for an electric vehicle has electrical connection terminals on the vehicle body which can be easily connected to electrical connection terminals on a battery pack. The terminal base 29 has a base 292 with an opening 291 for accepting an insulator board 64 on which male-side terminals 63 are held. The opening 291 is provided with a first lower guide 301 and a first upper guide 300, and with a second lower guide 299 and a second upper guide 298. A first edge of the insulator board 64 is clamped by the first lower guide 301 and the first upper guide 300 from the lower and upper sides. A second edge opposed to the first edge of the insulator board 64 is clamped by the second lower guide 299 and the second upper guide 298 from the lower and upper sides. In this manner, the insulator board 64 is supported in a floating state. Preferably, the tip of each male-side terminal 63 is bevelled for preventing the tip from being snagged when connecting the male-side terminals to the female-side terminals.
