ABSTRACT:
A bus bar-holding structure includes a bus bar-holding member to which a bus bar including a base portion, a terminal portion and a bent portion formed between the base portion and the terminal portion is attachable, the bus bar-holding member having an insertion hole formed therein, in which the terminal portion of the bus bar is slidably movable in the insertion hole and partially projectable from the bus bar-holding member outwardly, a retaining member retaining a part of the base portion of the bus bar spaced from the bent portion, and a projection amount-limiting portion abutted against an inner side portion of the bent portion of the bus bar. Therefore, the bus bar can be elastically deformed and flexed about the retaining member in a retracting direction of the terminal portion. When the bus bar-holding member is to be insert molded in a housing, the terminal portion which is excessively-projected is forced back by a mold for forming the housing, and is retracted relatively to an amount corresponding to a difference from a proper projection amount.
