Terminal temporary holding structure

1. A terminal temporary holding structure comprising:

a busbar block including an insulating housing and a conductive busbar terminal;

a conductive terminal fitting inserted into the housing and electrically connected to the busbar terminal; and

a cable in which a terminal thereof is connected with the terminal fitting, wherein

the terminal fitting includes:

a cable connecting part connected to the cable;

an electrical contact part configured to be fastened to the busbar terminal by a fastening member and having a flat plate shape which is wider than the cable connecting part; and

a connecting part that connects the electrical contact part and the cable connecting part,

a terminal step part is formed in the terminal fitting at a position at which the connecting part and the electrical contact part are connected to each other,

the housing includes a suppressing part and a drop-in recess,

the drop-in recess accommodates the electrical contact part so that the electrical contact part is dropped along a fastening axis of the fastening member,

the suppressing part is provided so as to be disposed over at least one of the cable connecting part and the cable in a state that the drop-in recess accommodates the electrical contact part, and

an engagement step part configured to engage to the terminal step part is formed in a step of a periphery of the drop-in recess so as to temporarily hold the terminal fitting in cooperation with the suppressing part before the electrical contact part is fastened to the busbar terminal by the fastening member.

2. The terminal temporary holding structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the drop-in recess includes a bottom surface receiving the electrical contact part and a busbar mounting part exposing the busbar terminal from the bottom surface in the state that the drop-in recess accommodates the electrical contact part.

3. The terminal temporary holding structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the step of the drop-in recess restrict movements of the terminal fitting in a terminal inserting direction and a terminal width direction in the state that the drop-in recess accommodates the electrical contact part.

4. The terminal temporary holding structure according to claim 1 , wherein

a guided part is provided in the terminal fitting, and

a guiding part is provided in the housing so as to come in contact with the guided part to guide the terminal fitting into the drop-in recess.
