A press-fit terminal includes a pair of the resilient contacts being swelled outward, and having a deformation space into which the resilient contacts are deformed. The press-fit terminal is electrically connected to a conductive inner wall of a through-hole on a circuit board by pressing the press-fit terminal into the through-hole. The press-fit terminal includes abutting portions on each inner wall of the pair of the resilient contacts. When the abutting portions abut on each other, the abutting portions regulate deformation of the resilient contacts in a narrowing direction to narrow the deformation space. Then inclined walls formed on the abutting portions induce the resilient contacts to slide on the inclined walls in a direction to separate the resilient contacts from each other.

A wiring arrangement of a wiring harness 41 at an underfloor 34 is finished by arranging a connecting member 43 to a position of a through-hole 35, by extending a sheath 48 on the underfloor 34 parallel to the underfloor 34 while the sheath 48 is received in a wire protect member 44, and by fixing a terminal fixing member 45 and the wire protecting member 44 to the underfloor 34. After such a wiring arrangement, the wiring harness 41 is electrically connected to a junction block 31 around the through-hole 35 by mounting a battery 25 or the like.

A connector and a connecting structure of circuit boards therewith is provided, which includes: a first circuit board; a second circuit board orthogonally arranged relative to the first circuit board; a terminal having first and second contact portions for the respective first and second circuit boards; and a housing to accommodate the terminal. An engaging member for attaching the housing to the first circuit board projects from the housing, and the first contact portion projects in a same direction as the engaging member. The engaging member is longitudinally movable at an engaging portion provided on the first circuit board. The engaging member is pivotable. The housing consists of a pair of housings turnable about a hinge, and a second contact portion of the terminal is accommodated between the housings. A groove as a positioning portion for a housing is provided. The housing consists of a fixed-side housing having the engaging member for the first circuit board and a moving-side housing movable relative to the fixed-side housing, and the terminal is accommodated in the moving-side housing. A shaft portion is provided on either one of the fixed-side housing and the moving-side housing, and a shaft engaging portion to movably engage the shaft portion is provided on the other of the fixed-side housing and the moving-side housing. A moving-side housing engaging portion is provided on the first circuit board, and an engaging portion for the moving-side housing engaging portion is provided on the moving-side housing.

A steering shaft support structure of a motor-driven steering assist apparatus is disclosed in which a steering shaft supported to a vehicle body side is connected to an input shaft of the motor-driven steering assist apparatus supported to the vehicle body side, and the steering shaft is supported to a spherical sliding bearing attached to a vehicle body side stay.

The rectifier of an inventive AC generator comprises a first heat sink; first unidirectional conduction elements arranged at intervals on the surface of the first heat sink; a second heat sink provided spaced apart from the first heat sink, second unidirectional conduction elements arranged at intervals on the surface of the second heat sink; and a circuit board having terminals connected to constitute a bridge circuit with regard to the first unidirectional conduction elements and the second unidirectional conduction elements. The first terminals of the first unidirectional conduction elements and the second terminals of the second unidirectional conduction elements are connected contiguously on the same surface of the terminals, respectively, to constitute terminal side joints. Consequently, connection workability is enhanced between the terminals and the first terminals of the first unidirectional conduction elements and the second terminals of the second unidirectional conduction elements.

Guiding convexed and concaved parts provided on inner side surfaces of a female connector housing have inclining surfaces inclining with respect to a direction perpendicular to the inner side surfaces; whereas guided convexed and concaved parts provided on outer side surfaces of a male connector housing have inclining surfaces facing the inclining surfaces of the guiding convexed and concaved parts.

The purpose is to decrease the physical size of a brake fluid pressure control apparatus for implementing pressure increasing / decreasing control for the fluid pressure in a wheel cylinder. A brake fluid pressure control apparatus is provided with: a piston pump (5); a pump drive motor (3); an eccentric cam rotated by the motor to activate the piston pump; a pressure-increasing electromagnetic valve (6); and a pressure-decreasing electromagnetic valve (7), in which the piston pump (5), the eccentric cam, the pressure-increasing electromagnetic valve (6), and the pressure-decreasing electromagnetic valve (7) are assembled in a housing (1a). The single piston pump (5) is installed, with the piston pump (5), when mounted on a vehicle, disposed in an upright posture under or above a cam chamber (11) of the housing in which the eccentric cam is housed.
