Abstract

A connector for power or braking attached to an electric motor is based on resin molding around a ground pin and a power supply pin. In this connector, an electrical junction between the ground pin and the body of the electric motor or of a brake is disposed in a predetermined position on the inner peripheral side of a sealing portion which seals the interior of the brake or electric motor body from the air.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A structure of a connector for power or braking, the structure attached to an electric motor, the structure comprising a resin molding around at least a ground pin and a power supply pin, wherein
an electrical junction between the ground pin and a body of the electric motor or a brake is disposed in a predetermined position on an inner peripheral side of a sealing portion which seals an interior of the body of the electric motor or the brake from the air,
the electrical junction comprises a convex connection structure,
the convex connection structure is arranged on the connector and projects in an axial direction of the connector toward the body of the electric motor or the brake,
the axial direction is along a lengthwise direction of the ground pin and power supply pin,
at least two convex structures, similar to the convex connection structure and electrically connected to neither the ground pin nor the power supply pin, are further provided on the connector and project in the axial direction of the connector toward the body of the electric motor or the brake,
the connector has a lower flat surface facing a flat surface of the body of the electric motor or the brake, and
the convex connection structure and the at least two convex structures project in the axial direction beyond the lower flat surface of the connector to be pressed against the flat surface of the body of the electric motor or the brake.
