<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce man-hours for cabling and manufacturing processes by reducing the number of components for connecting auxiliary machines together. <P>SOLUTION: An auxiliary machine comprises an auxiliary machine body 11 comprising a resin mold member, an electric wire 12 whose one end is directly connected to the auxiliary machine body 11, and a connector 13 connected to the other end of the electric wire. The connector 13 houses a crimping terminal 15 which is crimped to a conductor 14 of the electric wire 12 inside a housing 20 comprising the resin mold member. The connector 13 is provided with a coalescence mechanism comprising a recessed part 16 and a protruding part 17 so that it is coalesced with other connector 13 to constitute a single connector. Thus, no component such as a crimping terminal or a connector for connecting the auxiliary machine 10 to the electric wire 12 is required, resulting in the reduced number of components. The man-hour for cabling is reduced since the auxiliary machine 10 is not required to be connected to the electric wire 12. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
