Abstract

A bolt (42a) is connected to a copper plate (9a) by a first electrode (51a), a second electrode (52a) and a wire (10a) for connecting the first and second electrodes. Similarly, a bolt (42b) is connected to a copper plate (9b) by a first electrode (51b), a second electrode (52b) and a wire (10b) for connecting the first and second electrodes. The wires (10a, 10b) are flexible and made of aluminum, for example. Electrical connection can be kept and the upper bound of absorption of the stress applied between the bolts (42a, 42b) and the copper plates (9a, 9b) can be increased.
