Abstract

A power supply device includes outer case, a battery block housed in this outer case and including at least one or more secondary batteries; a circuit board connected to the battery block; and power supply connector connected to output lead that outputs an output current from the battery block. Power supply connector is attached in a floating state to fixed surface of outer case. Furthermore, the circuit board is disposed in parallel to a first direction orthogonal to fixed surface between fixed surface and the battery block. Output lead is disposed in wiring space provided in a lower side or an upper side of the circuit board, and connected to the battery block.

Claims (16)

1. A power supply device comprising:

an outer case;

a battery block housed in the outer case and including at least one or more secondary batteries;

a circuit board connected to the battery block; and

a power supply connector connected to an output lead that outputs an output current from the battery block,

wherein the power supply connector is attached in a floating state to a fixed surface of the outer case,

the circuit board is disposed in parallel to a first direction orthogonal to the fixed surface, between the fixed surface and the battery block,

the output lead is disposed in wiring space provided in a lower side or an upper side of the circuit board, and connected to the battery block, and

the output lead includes a first region extending from the power supply connector toward the battery block, and a battery block side of the first region is coupled to the battery block via at least one of a protective element and the circuit board.

2. The power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the output lead is wired, extending in the first direction, in the wiring space.

3. The power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the output lead is a lead wire having a conductive portion whose cross-sectional area is 3 mm 2 or more.

4. The power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the protective element is a fuse connected to the output lead, wherein a connection point of the first region and the fuse is disposed nearer to the battery block than to the fixed surface.

5. The power supply device according to claim 1 , further comprising a current detection resistor connected to the output lead, wherein a connection point of the first region and the current detection resistor is disposed nearer to the battery block than to the fixed surface.

6. The power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein a semiconductor switching element for turning on and off the output current is mounted on the circuit board.

7. The power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the power supply connector is attached to the fixed surface, capable of floating upward and downward.

8. The power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the power supply connector is linked to a power line of a server rack in a state in which the power supply device is set in the server rack.
