Abstract
To improve contact stability with respect to structures of terminals of a main body side apparatus and a component-to-be-loaded each having a terminal aiming for electric contact.
To this end, there is provided terminal structures aiming for an electric connection when a battery pack 100 (component-to-be-loaded) is loaded on a video camera 1 (main body side apparatus), wherein the video camera (main body side apparatus) has a main body side terminal 30, and the battery pack has a battery side terminal 120 (component-to-be-loaded terminal) for joining with said main body side terminal; and terminal pieces 31, 31, 31 of said main body side terminal are insert-molded on an upper frame body 13 (mold member) with two guide pieces 32, 32 being integrally provided on the upper frame body to sandwich said terminal piece; and a terminal member 122, 122 are insert-molded on a terminal case 121 (mold member) with guide grooves 123, 123 being formed on the terminal case (mold member) to correspond to said guide pieces; and by engaging said guide pieces with the guide grooves formed in the battery pack (component-to-be-loaded), positioning of the main body side terminal and the battery side terminal (component-to-be-loaded side terminal) is achieved.

15. A structure of terminals for an electric connection between a main body side apparatus and a component-to-be loaded when the a component-to-be loaded is loaded on the main body side apparatus comprising,
a main body side apparatus having a main body side terminal and said component-to-be loaded having a component-to-be loaded side terminal for joining with said main body side terminal; -
terminal pieces of said main body side terminal being insert-molded on a mold member with at least one guide piece integrally provided on the mold member; and
a terminal member of said component-to-be loaded side terminal being insert-molded on a mold member with a guide groove formed on the mold member to correspond to said guide piece;
a protective plate provided to cover the terminal pieces of said main body terminal wherein by engaging said guide piece with said guide groove formed on said component-to-be loaded, positioning of said main body side terminal and said component-to-be loaded side terminal is achieved. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
