Abstract
A bus bar connector includes a terminal holder having a fastening space into and to which a bus bar terminal, mounted on a bus bar plate, is inserted and fastened, and a terminal lead coupled to a PCB. The terminal holder and the terminal lead are integrally connected to each other such that the bus bar terminal is electrically connected to the printed circuit board. The bus bar terminal is directly connected to the PCB without a fuse or a PCB terminal, leading to reduction in the number of parts, which advantageously simplifies an assembling process, reduces manufacturing costs, miniaturizes an entire unit, and simplifies the shape of the bus bar terminal.
