Electrical connectors and electrical junction boxes

Abstract

To lower burdens on electric components and reduce a physical size.SOLUTION: An electric connecting tool comprises: an electric component 21 in which two terminals 21a, 21b are projected in the same plane P from a body 21c; an electroconductive member 25 having a main constituent 25a that fixes and electrically connects one terminal 21b and a connector connecting terminal 25b that fits and connects a connector 52 at an end of an electric wire We2 and thereby electrically connects the electric wire; and a load receiving part 28c for receiving a load coming from the fit-and-connect operation of the connector to the connector connecting terminal. The main constituent 25a includes an adjacent part 25d which is extended in a direction orthogonal to the plane P to a position where it is aligned with the main constituent 21c, and the connector connecting terminal 25b is projected from the adjacent part 25d in a direction orthogonal to the plane P and a direction for separating from the main constituent 21c, with the connector 52 fitted and connected in a direction opposite the projecting direction. The load receiving part 28c should be provided as a locking part for locking the main constituent 25a at a position closer to the fit-and-connect operation side than the main constituent 25a.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
