An electric connecting apparatus provides electrical connection of two electric components by fitting a plurality of male terminals into mating female terminals. If the male terminals have different lengths, for example, the male terminals are fitted into the female terminals in an order of a longer one to a shorter one. In this case, the inserting force that is needed for the entire array of male terminals at the time the two electric components are connected together does not reach a peak at one time, but the inserting forces for the individual male terminals reach peaks one after another. This can permit the two electric components to be connected together with a less labor.

This invention proposes a control device for an electric source supply, providing a function which prevents battery death of a vehicle. A lamp main relay turns a lamp main relay,off in case an ignition switch,is off and also when a door state is not changed over time T,which is predetermined with a timer Tm,, and cuts off an electric source supply to an interior dome lamp,, door lamps,of D-seat, P-seat, R-seat in order to prevent battery death. Further, a door/interior dome lamp control part,turns the interior dome lamp,and the door lamps in response to opened-doors off when doors are not closed more than time T,which is predetermined with timer means Tm,in order to prevent battery death. A warning signal may be generated before the control for preventing battery death or during the control mode for preventing battery death.

An overhead power transmission line formed by stranding at least one outwardly projecting strand at the outermost layer of an overhead power transmission line formed by a plurality of strands. At least the outwardly projecting portion of the outwardly projecting strand is composed of an organic material. The outwardly projecting strand has a projection height H within a range defined as 1.5 mm&lE;H&lE;7.0 mm. By setting the projection height H of the outwardly projecting strand equal to or larger than 1.5 mm, the wind noise characteristic can be conspicuously improved. Further, by setting H&lE;7.0 mm, the outwardly projecting strand comprised by an organic material is made easily crushable, so the gripping portions of spacers, dampers, and other parts which have been conventionally used can be used as they are.
