A busbar includes a battery connecting portion and a wire connecting portion as a circuit body connecting portion. The battery connecting portion connects electrodes of two batteries to each other. The wire connecting portion is continued to the battery connecting portion, and connected directly with an electric wire so as to overlap a core wire of an electric wire thereon. The wire connecting portion includes a welding portion which the core wire of the electric wire is welded to, and a bridge portion connecting the welding portion and the battery connecting portion. A cross-sectional area of the bridge portion along an intersecting direction intersecting a direction of connecting the welding portion and the battery connecting portion is formed to be smaller than a cross-sectional area of the welding portion along the intersecting direction.
1. A busbar, comprising:
a battery connecting portion connecting electrodes of two batteries to each other; and
a circuit body connecting portion continued to the battery connecting portion and connected directly to a circuit body by overlapping a conductive core wire of the circuit body on the circuit body connecting portion, wherein the circuit body connecting portion comprises:
a welding portion, at which the conductive core wire of the circuit body is welded; and
a bridge portion connecting the welding portion and the battery connecting portion,
wherein a cross-section area of the bridge portion along an intersecting direction intersecting a direction of connecting the welding portion and the battery connecting portion is configured to be smaller than a cross-section area of the welding portion along the intersecting direction,
wherein the welding portion comprises a projection, which projects from a surface of the welding portion, and the conductive core wire of the circuit body is overlapped on and welded on the projection.
2. The busbar according to claim 1 , wherein the battery connecting portion comprises:
a plurality of plate portions overlapped to each other and having a hole passing the electrode of the battery; and
a second bridge portion joining the plate portions to each other.
