Abstract

An electronic component unit and a wire harness are provided with a bus bar plate. The bus bar plate is provided with a metallic bus bar that is built in a resin material, and including a through-hole in which a terminal of a relay mounted on a mounting surface is soldered. The through-hole is provided with a bus bar through-hole which penetrates the bus bar, and a resin material through-hole which penetrates the resin material and is formed to be larger than the bus bar through-hole to expose the surface of the bus bar. When an inner diameter of the bus bar through-hole is defined as r and an inner diameter of the resin material through-hole is defined as R, 1.5r≦R is satisfied.

Claims (32)

1. A bus bar plate comprising:

a metallic bus bar that is built in a resin material and includes a through-hole in which terminals of an electronic component mounted on a mounting surface are soldered, wherein

the through-hole is provided with:

a bus bar through-hole which penetrates the metallic bus bar; and

a resin material through-hole which penetrates the resin material and is larger than the bus bar through-hole to expose the surface of the metallic bus bar;

when an inner diameter of the bus bar through-hole is defined as r and an innermost diameter of the resin material through-hole is defined as R, 1.5r≦R≦3.25r and 1.2 mm≦r≦2.0 mm are satisfied, and

a thickness of the metallic bus bar is 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm.

2. The bus bar plate according to claim 1 , wherein

when the inner diameter of the bus bar through-hole is defined as r and the innermost diameter of the resin material through-hole is defined as R, 1.83r=R is satisfied.

3. The bus bar plate according to claim 1 , wherein

the resin material through-hole is tapered so as to be gradually enlarged as the resin material through-hole approaches the mounting surface.

4. The bus bar plate according to claim 2 , wherein

the resin material through-hole is tapered so as to be gradually enlarged as the resin material through-hole approaches the mounting surface.

5. An electronic component unit comprising:

a bus bar plate provided with a metallic bus bar that is built in a resin material and includes a through-hole in which terminals of an electronic component mounted on a mounting surface are soldered; and

a housing in which the bus bar plate is internally assembled, wherein

the through-hole is provided with:

a bus bar through-hole which penetrates the metallic bus bar; and

a resin material through-hole which penetrates the resin material and is larger than the bus bar through-hole to expose the surface of the metallic bus bar,

when an inner diameter of the bus bar through-hole is defined as r and an innermost diameter of the resin material through-hole is defined as R, 1.5r≦R≦3.25r and 1.2 mm≦r≦2.0 mm are satisfied, and

a thickness of the metallic bus bar is 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm.

6. A wire harness comprising:

an electronic component unit equipped with a bus bar plate provided with a metallic bus bar that is built in a resin material and includes a through-hole in which terminals of an electronic component mounted on a mounting surface are soldered, and a housing in which the bus bar plate is internally assembled; and

an electric wire electrically connected to the electronic component unit, wherein

the through-hole is provided with:

a bus bar through-hole which penetrates the metallic bus bar; and

a resin material through-hole which penetrates the resin material and is larger than the bus bar through-hole to expose the surface of the metallic bus bar, and

when an inner diameter of the bus bar through-hole is defined as r and an innermost diameter of the resin material through-hole is defined as R, 1.5r≦R≦3.25r and 1.2 mm≦r≦2.0 mm are satisfied, and

a thickness of the metallic bus bar is 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm.

7. The bus bar plate according to claim 1 , wherein

when the inner diameter of the bus bar through-hole is defined as r, r=1.2 mm is satisfied, and

a radial width around the terminal of the surface of the bus bar exposed inside the through-hole is 0.3 mm or more and 1.35 mm or less.
