Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be similar resin molding techniques used in the manufacturing of electronic components and circuit boards.

How does this technology compare to traditional methods of insulating bus bars in resin molded components?

This technology offers a more efficient and effective way of insulating bus bars compared to traditional methods, as it covers the bus bar crank portion with a resin member and potting material.

What are the specific industries that could benefit the most from this technology?

Industries such as automotive, electronics, and power distribution could benefit the most from this technology due to the need for reliable and insulated bus bars in their components.

Original Abstract Submitted

A resin molded component includes a bus bar having conductivity, a conductive member including an insertion hole into which the bus bar is inserted along an axis line direction, a resin member covering the bus bar and insulating the bus bar and the conductive member, and a potting material charged into the insertion hole. The bus bar includes a bend terminal portion positioned at an end portion in the axis line direction, and bent along a terminal bend direction, and a bus bar crank portion positioned inside the insertion hole and extending along a crank direction intersecting with the axis line direction and the terminal bend direction. The resin member includes a resin crank portion positioned inside the insertion hole and covering and insulating the bus bar crank portion. The potting material covers a whole circumference of the resin crank portion when charged into the insertion hole.
