A method of electric wire routing includes: routing an electric wire in an electric wire routing path which is provided in a case and has a concave shape in a cross-sectional view; and covering an upper portion of the electric wire routing path with a cover. A pair of guide pins are inserted into a through hole formed in a bottom portion of the electric wire routing path in the case from below to a position above a side wall portion which forms the electric wire routing path. The electric wire is passed between the guide pins. The cover is assembled to the upper portion of the electric wire routing path while the guide pins are pulled out from the through hole.

A rotating connector includes a movable housing and a steering angle sensor unit. The movable housing includes a cylindrical section through which a steering shaft penetrates and a main gear integrally molded with the movable housing on an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical section along a rotation direction. The steering angle sensor unit includes a fixed-side housing into which the cylindrical section of the movable housing is inserted, a satellite gear which is provided in the fixed-side housing and meshed with the main gear, and a rotation angle detection unit which is provided in the fixed-side housing and detects rotation of the satellite gear.

Rotating connector

A lever switch is provided, in which an arrangement of a push button is fixed with respect to an operation of a rotary ring to realize improvement in operation. A lever switch includes: a first shaft projecting from a base of a control means of a mobile unit; a plurality of push buttons provided at a distal end of the first shaft; a fixing-supporting part which fixes and supports a plurality of the push buttons for preventing a plurality of the push buttons from rotating relatively to the first shaft; and a rotary ring which is provided in the middle of the first shaft and is rotatable separately from a plurality of the push buttons, wherein when the rotary ring is operated, the rotary ring is rotated around the first shaft on a condition that a plurality of the push buttons are fixed and supported being prevented from rotating.

Lever switch

A combination switch which includes a lever member operable to move relative to a stationary portion, and a position detector for detecting a position of the lever member. The position detector includes a magnet and a Hall effect sensor for detecting a strength of a magnetic field of the magnet. The magnet and the Hall effect sensor are configured to have variable relative positions to each other when the lever member moves.

Combination switch

The switch includes a base body side connector and a movable body side connector for connecting electrical circuits provided in a base body side and a movable body side of a motor vehicle. One of the base body side connector and the movable body side connector has a receptacle terminal while the other has a pin tab terminal. The other connector has a terminal cover piece for receiving an electrical contact portion provided in a free end side of the pin tab terminal. The terminal cover piece is slidable in engagement and disengage directions of the terminals. The terminal cover piece is urged by a resilient member parallel to an extended direction of the pin tab terminal. The resilient member is positioned between a flange of the terminal cover piece and a bottom surface of a housing of the movable body side connector.
