Abstract

An electrical component device includes an internal conductor, a case and a fitting detection connector. The internal conductor is connected to an electrical component and includes a fastening part configured to be fastened with an external conductor. The case accommodates the electrical component and the internal conductor and has a wall surface formed with a fastening opening for fastening the external conductor to the internal conductor. The fitting detection connector detects that a cover member closing the fastening opening is installed to the fastening opening and includes a receiving connector which is fixed inside the case and a detachable connector which is attached on the cover member. The wall surface extends in the gravity direction. The receiving connector has a receiving surface extending to a vicinity of an inner wall surface of the case and positioned below the fastening part in the gravity direction.

Claims (15)

1. An electrical component device comprising:

an internal conductor, configured to be connected to an electrical component, and including a fastening part configured to be fastened with an external conductor;

a case, configured to accommodate the electrical component and the internal conductor, and having a wall surface formed with a fastening opening for fastening the external conductor to the internal conductor from an outside of the case with a fastening member;

a cover member closing the fastening opening; and

a fitting detection connector, configured to detect that the cover member is installed to the fastening opening, and including a receiving connector which is fixed inside the case and a detachable connector which is attached on the cover member and opposes to the receiving connector so as to be detachable therefrom,

wherein the wall surface formed with the fastening opening extends in the gravity direction, and

wherein the receiving connector has a receiving surface extending to a vicinity of an inner wall surface of the case and positioned below the fastening part in the gravity direction.

2. The electrical component device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the external conductor is held to an external connector which is installed to an opening formed in an upper wall surface of the case.

3. The electrical component device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the receiving surface extends to the vicinity of the inner wall surface which is opposite to the wall surface formed with the fastening opening.

4. The electrical component device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the internal conductor is a busbar.

5. The electrical component device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the fastening opening is formed at a position of the wall surface opposing the fastening part in a direction perpendicular to the gravity direction.
