Abstract

An auxiliary device module Z includes an auxiliary device 1 such as a camera 1, a base board 2 provided with the auxiliary device 1, a pressure contact type connector 5a and pressure contact type terminals 5e and a case 3 in which the base board can be mounted. The pressure contact type terminals 5e and a connecting portion 5e′ including electric wires 4a, 4a′ in the case 3 are electrically connected as a connector 5 by mounting the base board 2 on the case 3. Guide portions 6a for guiding the pressure contact type terminals 5e to the connecting portion 5e′ are provided in the connector 5. In this configuration, when fitting the base board 2 into the case 3, electrically connecting can be done simultaneously and securely.

Claims

1. An auxiliary device module comprising:

an auxiliary device;

a base board provided with said auxiliary device and terminals; and

a case in which said base board is mounted, wherein said terminals of the base board and a connecting portion in said case are electrically connected as a connector by mounting said base board on the case, wherein a guide portion for guiding the terminals to the connecting portion is provided in said connector.

2. The auxiliary device module according to claim 1, wherein said terminals are pressure contact type terminals, wherein said connecting portion has electric wires, wherein a pressure contact type connector provided with said pressure contact type terminals is mounted on said base board, wherein said case is provided with a connector housing having said electric wires therein, wherein said connector is formed by press-fitting said base board into said case to connect said pressure contact type terminals with said electric wires by pressure, wherein said guide portion is formed with a plurality of openings, wherein at least one of said pressure contact type terminals, guided through She openings, is connected by pressure with a plurality of the electric wires corresponding to the terminals.

3. The auxiliary device module according to claim 1, wherein a camera module is built with a car-mount type camera as said auxiliary device.
