以下に発明を実施するための形態を示す。図１乃至図５に示されていることから理解されるように、本実施形態の速結端子部材１は、電線９１を速結接続するためのものである。この速結端子部材１は、一つの電線９１を電気的に速結接続する速結接続部４と電線９１への接圧を解除する解除部２１とを具備する本体部２０と、導電部材８１との固定機能を発揮する固定機能部１１を備えた固定部１０と、を備え、前記固定部１０が本体部２０に対して電気的に接続された状態で前記本体部２０に一体的に固定されるものである。このため、他の部材を必要とせずに、導電部材８１に対して電気的に接続できる速結端子部材１とすることが可能となる。 A mode for carrying out the invention is shown below. As can be understood from FIGS. 1 to 5, the quick connection terminal member 1 of the present embodiment is for quick connection connection of the electric wire 91. The quick-connect terminal member 1 includes a main body 20 including a quick-connect connection portion 4 for electrically quick-connecting one electric wire 91 and a release portion 21 for releasing contact pressure with the electric wire 91, and a conductive member 81. A fixing portion 10 having a fixing function portion 11 that exerts a fixing function with the above is provided, and the fixing portion 10 is integrally fixed to the main body portion 20 in a state of being electrically connected to the main body portion 20. Is to be done. Therefore, it is possible to provide the quick-connect terminal member 1 that can be electrically connected to the conductive member 81 without the need for other members.

ここで、速結端子部材１を導電部材８１へ取り付ける方法の例について説明する。図１に示す速結端子部材１は、本体部２０の一端側から飛び出すように固定部１０を備えている。この固定部１０は、導電部材８１との固定機能を発揮する固定機能部１１を備えており、図２に示すことから理解されるように、速結端子部材１と導電部材８１とを電気的に接続し固定するために用いられている。図２に示す例では、固定機能部１１である雄ねじ状のねじ部１３が導電部材８１に設けられた穴８２に嵌るようにねじ込まれることで速結端子部材１と導電部材８１が電気的に接続し固定されている。 Here, an example of a method of attaching the quick-connect terminal member 1 to the conductive member 81 will be described. The quick-connect terminal member 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a fixing portion 10 so as to protrude from one end side of the main body portion 20. The fixing portion 10 includes a fixing function portion 11 that exerts a fixing function with the conductive member 81, and as can be understood from FIG. 2, the quick-connect terminal member 1 and the conductive member 81 are electrically connected to each other. It is used to connect and fix to. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the male screw-shaped screw portion 13 which is the fixing function portion 11 is screwed so as to fit into the hole 82 provided in the conductive member 81, so that the quick-connect terminal member 1 and the conductive member 81 are electrically connected. It is connected and fixed.

このようなことを可能とするため、図１に示す例では、固定部１０を頭部１２とねじ部１３を備えるボルトとし、頭部１２が本体部２０に固定されるとともに、ねじ部１３が本体部２０の外部に突出しているように構成されている。このため、圧着端子付き電線を取り付けるために導電部材８１に設けられているねじ孔などに対して速結端子部材１を容易に取り付けることができる。 In order to make such a thing possible, in the example shown in FIG. 1, the fixing portion 10 is a bolt having a head portion 12 and a screw portion 13, the head portion 12 is fixed to the main body portion 20, and the screw portion 13 is fixed. It is configured to protrude to the outside of the main body 20. Therefore, the quick-connect terminal member 1 can be easily attached to the screw holes provided in the conductive member 81 for attaching the electric wire with the crimp terminal.

図１に示す例では、固定部１０の頭部１２の側面が、工具８３で操作可能に本体部２０の外部に位置するように構成されている。このため、工具８３を用いて頭部１２を締め付けることができる。なお、このようなことを可能にするためには、固定部１０の頭部１２の側面の少なくとも一部が、工具８３で操作可能に本体部２０の外部に位置すればよい。 In the example shown in FIG. 1, the side surface of the head portion 12 of the fixing portion 10 is configured to be located outside the main body portion 20 so as to be operable by the tool 83. Therefore, the head 12 can be tightened by using the tool 83. In order to make such a thing possible, at least a part of the side surface of the head portion 12 of the fixing portion 10 may be located outside the main body portion 20 so as to be operable by the tool 83.

また、当該頭部１２における工具８３で操作可能な部位の横幅Ｌ１が、本体部２０の横幅Ｌ２以上となる構成であるのが好ましい。このようにすれば、図３に示すように、ソケットレンチのように略筒状の部分を嵌め合わせて使用する工具８３を、本体部２０側から移動させて頭部１２の側面にアクセスさせることができる。つまり、当該工具８３を用いて導電部材８１に速結端子部材１を締め付け固定することができる。したがって、使用できる工具８３や締め付け方法の幅が広がり、取り付け作業の利便性を高めることができる。 Further, it is preferable that the width L1 of the portion of the head 12 that can be operated by the tool 83 is equal to or more than the width L2 of the main body 20. In this way, as shown in FIG. 3, the tool 83 used by fitting the substantially tubular portion like a socket wrench is moved from the main body 20 side to access the side surface of the head 12. Can be done. That is, the quick-connect terminal member 1 can be tightened and fixed to the conductive member 81 by using the tool 83. Therefore, the range of tools 83 that can be used and the tightening method is widened, and the convenience of the mounting work can be improved.

ところで、図１に示す速結端子部材１の本体部２０の一端側には固定部１０があるが、当該本体部２０の他端側には、解除部２１が摺動可能に備えられている。この解除部２１には電線９１を挿通するための電線挿通部２２を備えている。なお、図４及び図５に示すことから理解されるように、電線挿通部２２がねじ部１３の軸線上に位置するように構成すると、電線挿通部２２に対して、導電部材８１の主面と対向する位置で電線９１を挿入することができる。導電部材８１の主面と対向する部分は、一般的に比較的スペースの確保がしやすいため、このような構成とすると、速結端子部材１に接続される電線９１の引き回しに都合がよい。また、通常、導電部材８１の主面は分電盤８５などの電気電子機器収納用箱の正面側に向くように配置されるため、電線挿通部２２の電線９１の挿入方向が導電部材８１の主面に対して略直交となることにより、電線９１を速結端子部材１に着脱する作業がしやすくなる。 By the way, although there is a fixing portion 10 on one end side of the main body portion 20 of the quick connecting terminal member 1 shown in FIG. 1, a releasing portion 21 is slidably provided on the other end side of the main body portion 20. .. The release portion 21 is provided with an electric wire insertion portion 22 for inserting the electric wire 91. As can be understood from FIGS. 4 and 5, when the electric wire insertion portion 22 is configured to be located on the axis of the threaded portion 13, the main surface of the conductive member 81 with respect to the electric wire insertion portion 22. The electric wire 91 can be inserted at a position facing the above. Since it is generally relatively easy to secure a space in the portion of the conductive member 81 facing the main surface, such a configuration is convenient for routing the electric wire 91 connected to the quick-connect terminal member 1. Further, since the main surface of the conductive member 81 is usually arranged so as to face the front side of the electric / electronic device storage box such as the distribution board 85, the insertion direction of the electric wire 91 of the electric wire insertion portion 22 is the conductive member 81. By being substantially orthogonal to the main surface, it becomes easy to attach / detach the electric wire 91 to / from the quick-connect terminal member 1.

図４及び図５に示すことから理解されるように、この電線挿通部２２から挿入された電線９１は、本体部２０の内部に備えられた導体部２３に接触する。また、導体部２３と電線９１が本体部２０の内側で接触している状態を維持するため、速結端子部材１の本体部２０には、電線９１を導体部２３へ接圧させる接圧ばね２４を備えている。これらが電線９１を電気的に速結接続する速結接続部４を構成する。更には、本体部２０には、接圧ばね２４による接圧を解除することができる解除部２１を備えている。 As can be understood from FIGS. 4 and 5, the electric wire 91 inserted from the electric wire insertion portion 22 comes into contact with the conductor portion 23 provided inside the main body portion 20. Further, in order to maintain the state in which the conductor portion 23 and the electric wire 91 are in contact with each other inside the main body portion 20, a pressure spring for contacting the main body portion 20 of the quick connection terminal member 1 with the electric wire 91 to the conductor portion 23. 24 is provided. These form a quick connection connection portion 4 that electrically and quickly connects the electric wires 91. Further, the main body portion 20 is provided with a release portion 21 capable of releasing the contact pressure by the pressure contact spring 24.

この解除部２１は、本体部２０の筐体２５に対して摺動可能に取り付けられている。また、この解除部２１は、電線９１が挿通される電線挿通部２２の周囲に解除部２１を操作する操作部２６を備えている。この操作部２６を押圧して解除部２１を摺動させることにより、接圧ばね２４を変形させて電線９１への接圧を解除すること又は弱めることが可能となる。なお、電線挿通部２２を取り囲むように操作部２６を形成すると、電線挿通部２２を中心とした３６０度いずれの方向からでも操作部２６を操作することができ、使い勝手が良くなる。また、実施形態では、筐体２５と解除部２１はいずれも、外見が円柱状となるように形成されており、取り付け時の周方向の向きを意識することなく、本体部２０を導電部材８１に固定することができる。 The release portion 21 is slidably attached to the housing 25 of the main body portion 20. Further, the release unit 21 includes an operation unit 26 for operating the release unit 21 around the electric wire insertion unit 22 through which the electric wire 91 is inserted. By pressing the operating portion 26 and sliding the releasing portion 21, the pressure contact spring 24 can be deformed to release or weaken the contact pressure on the electric wire 91. If the operation unit 26 is formed so as to surround the electric wire insertion portion 22, the operation unit 26 can be operated from any direction of 360 degrees centered on the electric wire insertion portion 22, and the usability is improved. Further, in the embodiment, both the housing 25 and the release portion 21 are formed so as to have a columnar appearance, and the main body portion 20 is made of the conductive member 81 without being conscious of the orientation in the circumferential direction at the time of attachment. Can be fixed to.

ここで、実施形態の速結端子部材１に対する電線９１の取り付け方について説明する。速結端子部材１に電線９１を接続しようとする場合、作業者は電線挿通部２２に電線９１を挿入する。作業者にとっては、この作業だけで電線９１を速結端子部材１に接続することができる。なお、電線９１が十分に硬い場合は電線９１を電線挿通部２２に差し込めば電線９１が十分奥まで挿入できるが、例えば寄り線のように電線９１の硬さが十分でない場合は、接圧ばね２４が電線９１の移動の障害となる。この場合、解除部２１を操作して導体部２３と接圧ばね２４の間隔を広げてから電線９１を挿入する。電線９１を挿入し終えたら、解除部２１の操作をやめればよい。 Here, how to attach the electric wire 91 to the quick-connect terminal member 1 of the embodiment will be described. When trying to connect the electric wire 91 to the quick-connect terminal member 1, the operator inserts the electric wire 91 into the electric wire insertion portion 22. For the operator, the electric wire 91 can be connected to the quick connection terminal member 1 only by this work. If the electric wire 91 is sufficiently hard, the electric wire 91 can be inserted all the way by inserting the electric wire 91 into the electric wire insertion portion 22, but if the electric wire 91 is not sufficiently hard, for example, a pressure spring. 24 becomes an obstacle to the movement of the electric wire 91. In this case, the release portion 21 is operated to widen the distance between the conductor portion 23 and the pressure contact spring 24, and then the electric wire 91 is inserted. After inserting the electric wire 91, the operation of the release unit 21 may be stopped.

速結端子部材１の電線挿通部２２に電線９１を挿通する際に本体部２０の内側で変形させられた接圧ばね２４は、弾性力により、変形させられた状態から元に戻ろうとする。この戻ろうとする力に起因して、電線９１が導体部２３に押し付けられることになるとともに、電線９１が速結端子部材１から抜けなくなる。 When the electric wire 91 is inserted into the electric wire insertion portion 22 of the quick-connect terminal member 1, the pressure contact spring 24 deformed inside the main body portion 20 tries to return from the deformed state by the elastic force. Due to this returning force, the electric wire 91 is pressed against the conductor portion 23, and the electric wire 91 cannot be pulled out from the quick-connect terminal member 1.

なお、導体部２３は金属製の固定部１０に対して電気的に接続されているため、導電部材８１と電線９１の間に電気を流すことができる。 Since the conductor portion 23 is electrically connected to the metal fixing portion 10, electricity can flow between the conductive member 81 and the electric wire 91.

図６及び図７に示すことから理解されるように、この例においては、側面視でＬ字状の導体部２３と、一端が鋭角状に屈曲された接圧ばね２４が、本体部２０の内部に収められている。また、接圧ばね２４と導体部２３は接触しており、仮に、電線９１と導体部２３が電気的に接続された状態とならなくても、電線９１と接圧ばね２４が電気的に接続された状態となれば、電線９１と導電部材８１の間に電気を流すことができる。 As can be understood from FIGS. 6 and 7, in this example, the L-shaped conductor portion 23 and the pressure contact spring 24 having one end bent at an acute angle are formed on the main body portion 20. It is housed inside. Further, the pressure contact spring 24 and the conductor portion 23 are in contact with each other, and even if the electric wire 91 and the conductor portion 23 are not electrically connected, the electric wire 91 and the pressure contact spring 24 are electrically connected. In this state, electricity can flow between the electric wire 91 and the conductive member 81.

ところで、図１に示す本体部２０においては、図６及び図７に示すことから理解されるように、二つの本体構成部品３１を組み合わせることで筒状の筐体２５を構成する。筐体２５及び解除部２１は通電しにくいものとして構成されているが、実施形態の筐体２５及び解除部２１は、ともに樹脂製である。 By the way, in the main body 20 shown in FIG. 1, as can be understood from FIGS. 6 and 7, the tubular housing 25 is formed by combining the two main body components 31. Although the housing 25 and the release portion 21 are configured to be difficult to energize, the housing 25 and the release portion 21 of the embodiment are both made of resin.

この例では、固定部１０を構成するボルトの頭部１２において、固定機能部１１である雄ねじ状のねじ部１３が突出する側と反対側に突出するねじ部位１５を備えており、このねじ部位１５を本体部２０に設けられたねじ孔３２と螺合させることで、本体部２０と固定部１０を一体的にしている。実施形態においては、このねじ部位１５は、本体構成部品３１の一つや、接圧ばね２４、導体部２３などに設けられた挿通孔２７に挿通するようにしてねじ孔３２と螺合している。 In this example, the head portion 12 of the bolt constituting the fixing portion 10 is provided with a screw portion 15 in which the male screw-shaped screw portion 13 which is the fixing function portion 11 protrudes to the opposite side to the protruding side. By screwing 15 into a screw hole 32 provided in the main body 20, the main body 20 and the fixing portion 10 are integrated. In the embodiment, the screw portion 15 is screwed into the screw hole 32 so as to be inserted into an insertion hole 27 provided in one of the main body components 31, the pressure contact spring 24, the conductor portion 23, or the like. ..

なお、この例では、ボルトの頭部１２の上面にねじ部位１５を突出形成し、本体部２０にねじ孔３２を形成しているが、ボルトと本体部２０が一体となるアッセンブリー化された部品として導電部材８１に固定できるのであれば、他の構成であっても良い。例えば、上記とは逆に、ボルト頭部１２の上面にねじ孔を形成し、本体部２０にねじ部位を突出形成しても良い。 In this example, the screw portion 15 is formed to protrude on the upper surface of the head portion 12 of the bolt, and the screw hole 32 is formed in the main body portion 20, but the bolt and the main body portion 20 are integrated into an assembled component. As long as it can be fixed to the conductive member 81, other configurations may be used. For example, contrary to the above, a screw hole may be formed on the upper surface of the bolt head 12, and a screw portion may be formed so as to protrude from the main body 20.

次に、実施形態の速結端子部材１に対する電線９１の取り外しについて説明する。電線９１を速結端子部材１から取り外す場合には、解除部２１を操作して、接圧ばね２４から電線９１に掛けられる力を解除若しくは弱め、電線９１を引っ張ればよい。図２に示す例の解除部２１は、本体部２０側に延びる解除片５１を備えている。この解除部２１に備えられた操作部２６を押圧して解除片５１を接圧ばね２４に押し付けることで、接圧ばね２４を変形させる。より詳しくは、接圧ばね２４が電線９１を押圧する力を解除若しくは弱めるように変形させるため、接圧ばね２４の一端と導体部２３の距離が広がるように変形させる。 Next, the removal of the electric wire 91 with respect to the quick-connect terminal member 1 of the embodiment will be described. When the electric wire 91 is removed from the quick-connect terminal member 1, the release portion 21 may be operated to release or weaken the force applied to the electric wire 91 from the pressure contact spring 24, and the electric wire 91 may be pulled. The release portion 21 of the example shown in FIG. 2 includes a release piece 51 extending toward the main body portion 20. The pressure contact spring 24 is deformed by pressing the operation unit 26 provided on the release portion 21 and pressing the release piece 51 against the pressure contact spring 24. More specifically, in order to deform the pressure spring 24 so as to release or weaken the force pressing the electric wire 91, the pressure spring 24 is deformed so that the distance between one end of the pressure spring 24 and the conductor portion 23 is widened.

ところで、解除部２１により接圧ばね２４を変形させようとすると、解除部２１は接圧ばね２４から反力を受ける。このため、接圧ばね２４を変形させるように解除部２１を移動するには、所定以上の力が必要になる。したがって、意図せずに解除部２１が接圧ばね２４を変形させてしまうことを抑制することができる。 By the way, when the pressure-contact spring 24 is to be deformed by the release portion 21, the release portion 21 receives a reaction force from the pressure-contact spring 24. Therefore, in order to move the release portion 21 so as to deform the pressure contact spring 24, a predetermined force or more is required. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the release portion 21 from unintentionally deforming the pressure contact spring 24.

接圧ばね２４から解除部２１に掛けられる力が弱い場合、別途、バネ材２８など弾性変形できる部材を用いて、解除部２１が接圧ばね２４を変形させるように移動することを抑制しても良い。図２に示す例では、電線挿通部２２の一方側に解除片５１が備えられており、他方側にバネ材２８を配置している。この例では本体部２０に設けた溝部３３にバネ材２８を嵌め込んでおり、そのバネ材２８の一端が解除部２１に設けられた押圧部５２と接触するように構成されている。 When the force applied from the pressure contact spring 24 to the release portion 21 is weak, a separately elastically deformable member such as a spring member 28 is used to prevent the release portion 21 from moving so as to deform the pressure spring 24. Is also good. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the release piece 51 is provided on one side of the electric wire insertion portion 22, and the spring material 28 is arranged on the other side. In this example, the spring material 28 is fitted into the groove 33 provided in the main body 20, and one end of the spring material 28 is configured to come into contact with the pressing portion 52 provided in the release portion 21.

解除部２１は本体部２０に対して移動可能な状態であるが、この解除部２１が本体部２０と分離することを抑制することが必要である。このため、解除部２１に爪部５３を設けるとともに本体部２０には爪部挿入孔３４を設けている。図６から図８に示すことから理解されるように、この例における爪部５３と爪部挿入孔３４はそれぞれ二つ設けられており、それぞれの爪部５３の先端が対応する爪部挿入孔３４の内部で引っかかることができることにより、解除部２１の移動範囲が規制されるように構成されている。 Although the release unit 21 is movable with respect to the main body 20, it is necessary to prevent the release 21 from separating from the main body 20. Therefore, the release portion 21 is provided with the claw portion 53, and the main body portion 20 is provided with the claw portion insertion hole 34. As can be understood from FIGS. 6 to 8, two claws 53 and two claw insertion holes 34 in this example are provided, and the tips of the respective claws 53 correspond to the corresponding claw insertion holes. The movement range of the release portion 21 is regulated by being able to be caught inside the 34.

このように構成された速結端子部材１は、分電盤８５などに使用される。具体的には、図９に示す例のように、分電盤８５の内部に備えられたアースバー８６に速結端子部材１を取り付けることが例示できる。図９に示すように、アースバー８６は例えばＭＣＢ用とＥＬＢ用に分けて形成し、各々が並列した状態で配置される場合があるが、速結端子部材１が一つの電線９１をアースバー８６の穴８２上で速結接続できるので、アースバー８６間の距離に関係なく速結端子部材１を並列するアースバー８６の穴８２に対して自在に配置することができる。なお、このアースバー８６は導電部材８１として機能する。 The quick-connect terminal member 1 configured in this way is used for a distribution board 85 or the like. Specifically, as in the example shown in FIG. 9, it can be exemplified that the quick connection terminal member 1 is attached to the earth bar 86 provided inside the distribution board 85. As shown in FIG. 9, the earth bar 86 is formed separately for, for example, MCB and ELB, and each of them may be arranged in parallel. However, the quick connection terminal member 1 connects one electric wire 91 of the earth bar 86 to the earth bar 86. Since the quick connection can be made on the hole 82, the quick connection terminal member 1 can be freely arranged with respect to the hole 82 of the ground bar 86 in parallel regardless of the distance between the ground bars 86. The earth bar 86 functions as a conductive member 81.

ここまで、速結端子部材１の一つの例を基に説明したが、速結端子部材１は、図１に示すような態様に限る必要は無い。例えば、図１０に示すことから理解されるように、接圧ばね２４における電線９１と接する側の端部に電線９１を拘束可能な切り欠き部２９を設けても良い。このようにすると、電線９１が撚り線の場合でも使用しやすくなる。 Up to this point, the description has been made based on one example of the quick-connecting terminal member 1, but the quick-connecting terminal member 1 does not have to be limited to the mode shown in FIG. For example, as can be understood from FIG. 10, a notch 29 capable of restraining the electric wire 91 may be provided at the end of the pressure contact spring 24 on the side in contact with the electric wire 91. In this way, even when the electric wire 91 is a stranded wire, it becomes easy to use.

また、固定部１０の固定機能部１１をねじ状ではなく、弾性変形可能な部位とすることも可能である。図１１に示す例では、弾性変形可能な爪部位６１を複数設けた構成としており、導電部材８１に設けた穴に爪部位６１を挿入させた際に爪部位６１同士が接近するように移動し、この爪部位６１が所定の箇所まで差し込まれると、当該爪部位６１同士が元の位置側に移動する。 Further, the fixing function portion 11 of the fixing portion 10 may be a portion that can be elastically deformed instead of being screw-shaped. In the example shown in FIG. 11, a plurality of elastically deformable claw portions 61 are provided, and when the claw portions 61 are inserted into the holes provided in the conductive member 81, the claw portions 61 move so as to approach each other. When the claw portion 61 is inserted to a predetermined location, the claw portions 61 move to the original position side.

速結端子部材１の取り付け例も、種々考えられ、例えば、図１２に示すことから理解されるように、固定部１０となるボルトの頭部１２と導電部材８１の間に圧着端子を備えた電線を挟み込むようにしても良い。このようにすれば、速結端子部材１が圧着端子を固定することにも利用でき、一つの速結端子部材１で、複数の電線を導電部材８１に電気的に接続することができるので、省スペースで電線の接続を行うことができる。 Various mounting examples of the quick-connect terminal member 1 are also conceivable. For example, as can be understood from FIG. 12, a crimp terminal is provided between the head portion 12 of the bolt serving as the fixing portion 10 and the conductive member 81. The electric wire may be sandwiched. In this way, the quick-connecting terminal member 1 can also be used to fix the crimp terminal, and one quick-connecting terminal member 1 can electrically connect a plurality of electric wires to the conductive member 81. Wires can be connected in a small space.

例えば、図１３に示すように複数のアースバー８６が電気電子機器収納用箱に備えられ、複数のアースバー８６が共通化用電線９３で繋がれ、そのうちの特定のアースバー８６につながった一本の出線用電線９４が電気電子機器収納用箱の外部と電気的に接続する場合、共通化用電線９３と出線用電線９４に圧着端子を形成し、固定部１０となるボルトの頭部１２と導電部材８１の間に共通化用電線９３と出線用電線９４に形成した圧着端子を挟み込むようにしても良い。なお、実施形態では、速結端子部材１の電線挿通部２２には分電盤８５内に設けられた開閉器からのアース接続用の電線が挿通され、速結接続される。このようにすれば、速結端子部材１が圧着端子を固定することにも利用でき、一つの速結端子部材１で、複数の電線を導電部材８１に電気的に接続することができるので、省スペースで電線の接続を行うことができる。 For example, as shown in FIG. 13, a plurality of earth bars 86 are provided in a box for storing electrical and electronic equipment, and a plurality of earth bars 86 are connected by a common electric wire 93, and one of the earth bars 86 is connected to a specific earth bar 86. When the wire wire 94 is electrically connected to the outside of the electric / electronic device storage box, a crimp terminal is formed on the common wire 93 and the wire exit wire 94, and the head portion 12 of the bolt serving as the fixing portion 10 is formed. A crimp terminal formed on the common electric wire 93 and the wire output electric wire 94 may be sandwiched between the conductive members 81. In the embodiment, an electric wire for ground connection from a switch provided in the distribution board 85 is inserted into the electric wire insertion portion 22 of the quick connection terminal member 1 to make a quick connection. In this way, the quick-connecting terminal member 1 can also be used to fix the crimp terminal, and one quick-connecting terminal member 1 can electrically connect a plurality of electric wires to the conductive member 81. Wires can be connected in a small space.
