Abstract

A vehicle-mounted system (1) is provided with an ECU (30) and a switching unit (40). The ECU (30) has a first input unit (32A), a second input unit (32B), a communication unit (34), and a control circuit (31). When power is supplied to the first input unit (32A), the control circuit (31) enters a first state in which it consumes power, and when the control circuit receives an activation signal via the communication unit (34) while in the first state, the control circuit (31) enters a second state in which it consumes more power than in the first state. The communication unit (34) stops a transmission function when power is not being supplied to the second input unit (32B), and operates the transmission function when power is being supplied to the second input unit (32B). The switching unit (40) has a first relay (40A) for switching the state of power supply to the first input unit (32A), and a second relay (40B) for switching the state of power supply to the second input unit (32B).

Abstract

An in-vehicle system (1) includes an ECU (12) installed in a vehicle, and an in-vehicle control device (15) that communicates with the ECU (12). The in-vehicle control device (15) issues an activation instruction to instruct the ECU (12) to transition to an activated state when an activation condition is satisfied. Upon receiving the activation instruction, the ECU (12) transitions from a sleep state to the activated state and transmits an activation completion notification. After issuing the activation instruction, the in-vehicle control device (15) determines that a current supplied to the ECU (12) has become equal to or higher than an activation threshold value, and then, upon receiving the activation completion notification from the ECU (12), determines that the ECU (12) has transitioned to the activated state.

Abstract

Disclosed is a female terminal capable of reducing the likelihood of separation of a clip spring from a contact spring portion without any increase in the number of components. A female terminal 10 comprises a male terminal mounting portion 16 into which a male terminal 12 is inserted to achieve continuity therewith. The male terminal mounting portion 16 includes a male terminal insertion opening 22, contact spring portions 26 opposing each other across a male terminal insertion gap 24, and a clip spring 32 that biases free-end portions 34 toward each other. At least one of the contact spring portions 26 includes an integrally provided engaging protrusion portion 62. The clip spring 32 includes, as an integrated unit: a mounting guide portion 76 which presses the engaging protrusion portion 62 as the clip spring 32 is mounted to the free-end portions 34, the mounting guide portion 76 thereby permitting the clip spring 32 to move forward in the mounting direction; and an engaged portion 78 which engages with the engaging protrusion portion 62 that has separated from the mounting guide portion 76. Engagement between the engaging protrusion portion 62 and the engaged portion 78 prevents displacement of the clip spring 32 in the separating direction from the contact spring portion 26.

Abstract

Disclosed is a female terminal capable of ensuring a gap between a pair of contact spring sections when a male terminal is not inserted, while facilitating the task of attaching a clip spring to the contact spring sections. A female terminal 10 comprises: a male-terminal insertion port 20; contact spring sections 24 disposed so as to be opposite of each other; and a clip spring 34 having a coupling plate section 30 and clamping plate sections 32. When a male terminal 12 is not inserted, the clip spring 34 does not apply a biasing force in a direction toward the contact spring sections 24. The contact spring sections 24 respectively have opposing surfaces 56a, 56b that are opposite of each other. The opposing surfaces 56a, 56b respectively include contact sections 66, 68 projecting toward a male-terminal insertion gap 22, and leading-end extension sections 74 extending from the contact sections 66, 68 toward a projection end. In the direction in which the contact spring sections 24 are opposed of each other, the male-terminal insertion gap 22 between the connection sections 66, 68 is smaller than the plate thickness size of the male terminal 12, and an opposing gap A between the leading-end extension sections 74 is larger than an opposing gap B between the contact sections 66, 68.

Abstract

The present invention suppresses leakage of a magnetic field generated by energization to a coil. This noise filter (A) is provided with: a coil (12) connected to an electric wire (31) constituting an electric circuit (30); and a shielding member (20) containing a magnetic material. The shielding member (20) is cylindrical and is disposed so as to surround the coil (12). In the shielding member (20), a mounting slit (25) that is continuous over the entire length of the shielding member (20) in the axial direction and that has both ends facing both front and rear end edges (20F, 20R) in the axial direction of the shielding member (20) is formed. Since the coil (12) is surrounded by a shielding member (20) containing a magnetic material, leakage of a magnetic field generated by energization to the coil (12) is suppressed.

Abstract

A connector (10) according to the present disclosure is provided with: an insulation-displacement terminal (30) into which an electric wire (W) is press-fitted; a housing (20) into which the insulation-displacement terminal (30) is inserted from a rear side; and an electric wire cover (40) attached to a rear end of the housing (20). The electric wire cover (40) has a pressing part (44A) that, by being attached to the housing (20) from the rear side, pushes the electric wire (W) forward to press-fit the electric wire (W) into the insulation-displacement terminal (30). First, the insulation-displacement terminal (30) is inserted into the housing (20) from the rear side. Next, an electric wire (W) is set behind the insulation-displacement terminal (30), and the electric wire cover (40) is attached to the housing (20) from the rear side. At this time, the pressing part (44A) of the electric wire cover (40) pushes the electric wire (W) forward to press-fit the electric wire (W) into the insulation-displacement terminal (30). Therefore, the electric wire (W) can be press-fitted into the insulation-displacement terminal (30) by attaching the electric wire cover (40) to the housing (20).
