Abstract

A battery module circuit (30) is for use in a module battery (10) having a battery (20) and to be attached to a vehicle. The battery module (10) is to be attached to a vehicle in a predetermined regular attachment state. When the battery module (10) is in a release state, which is released from the regular attachment state, a second conducting path (42) and a second terminal (34) are insolated from each other. The battery module circuit (30) has a structure in which the second conducting path (42) and the second terminal (34) are in electrical conduction by setting the battery module (10) to the regular attachment state. A switch (35) is in the off-state when the second conducting path (42) and the second terminal (34) are isolated from each other. A control unit (36) causes the switch (35) to be in the on-state when the state between the second conducting path (42) and the second terminal (34) is switched from the isolated state to the conducting state.

Abstract

Individual ECUs are mounted on a vehicle and execute processing using power supplied from one of a main power storage device and a sub power storage device. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the processing unit of each individual ECU determines whether the supplying of power from the main power storage device has been interrupted. When it is determined that the supplying of power from the main power storage device has been interrupted, the processing unit of each individual ECU executes a process that corresponds to a degree of deterioration of the sub power storage device out of a plurality of processes.

Abstract

In the present invention, the area occupied by a peg on a circuit board is reduced. A board connector (A) is provided with: a housing (10); and a metal peg (20) that is attached to an outer wall surface (12) of the housing (10) and is fixed to a circuit board (P) by solder (S). The peg (20) has a narrow space (33) that opens in a slit shape toward the circuit board (P) and allows the molten solder (S) on the circuit board (P) to enter by capillary action. On an surface (41) of the peg (20) that faces the circuit board (P) and an inner surface of the narrow space (33), an alloy layer comprising the solder (S) and the peg (20) is formed, and this alloy layer contributes to improving the fixing strength of the peg (20) with respect to the circuit board (P). The alloy layer in the narrow space (33) extends away from the circuit board (P); therefore, the surface (41) of the peg (20) that faces the circuit board (P) can be kept small in area.
