A bracket includes a female connector housing, bus bar circuits, pressure welding edges, and a lower cable support rib. The female connector housing has a cable wiring surface on which a plurality of cables are wired. The bus bar circuits are disposed on the cable wiring surface in an exposed state. The pressure welding edges are formed on the bus bar circuits to connect the cables to the bus bar circuits by pressure welding. The lower cable support rib is disposed on the cable wiring surface for supporting the cables not to be contacted to the bus bar circuits except the pressure welding edges.
1. A bracket comprising:
a connector housing having a cable wiring surface onto which a cable is wired;
a bus bar circuit disposed in an exposed state on the cable wiring surface;
a pressure welding edge formed on the bus bar circuit connecting the cable to the bus bar circuit by pressure welding; and
a lower cable support rib disposed on the cable wiring surface supporting the cable such that the cable contacts the pressure welding edge but not the bus bar circuit.
2. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the lower cable support rib is disposed in a vicinity of the bus bar circuit.
3. The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the lower cable support rib is configured so as to be higher than a top surface of the bus bar circuit and lower than a bottom surface of the cable pressure-welded to the pressure welding edges.
4. The bracket according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a cover disposed on the connector housing for covering the cable wiring surface; and
an upper cable support rib disposed on an internal surface of the cover and configured to be high enough to abut a top surface of the cable in a state where the cover is mounted on the connector housing.
5. The bracket according to claim 4 , further comprising:
first cable-end support portions disposed on both ends of the connector housing; and
second cable-end support portions disposed on both ends of the cover supporting the cable to be disposed approximately parallel with the cable wiring surface above the bus bar circuits, in cooperation with the first cable-end support portions.
