Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A connection terminal includes: an electric wire connection part; a terminal connection part formed in a flat-plate shape; an insertion hole provided in the terminal connection part and connected to a mated member by insertion of a bolt; an erect wall located around the insertion hole and provided integrally with and protrusively from the terminal connection part; and a fracture part provided at the terminal connection part between the erect wall and the insertion hole and configured to separate a part of the terminal connection part from the mated member by a pull force in a state where the bolt is inserted. The fracture part includes: a first slit provided so as to be partially curved along the insertion hole between the erect wall and the insertion hole; and a second slit provided so as to continue to the first slit and to reach the erect wall.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A connection terminal comprising: an electric wire connection part connected to an electric wire, a terminal connection part provided integrally with the electric wire connection part, and formed in a flat-plate shape; an insertion hole provided in the terminal connection part, and connected to a mated member by insertion of a bolt; an erect wall located around the insertion hole, and provided integrally with and protrusively from the terminal connection part; and a fracture part provided at the terminal connection part between the erect wall and the insertion hole, and configured to separate a part of the terminal connection part from the mated member by a pull force in a state where the bolt is inserted, wherein the fracture part includes: a first slit provided so as to be partially curved along the insertion hole between the erect wall and the insertion hole; and a second slit provided so as to continue to the first slit and to reach the erect wall. 2. The connection terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the second slit includes a hole part penetrating through the terminal connection part at a coupling part between the terminal connection part and the erect wall.
