Abstract
A cover assembly for on-board electric equipment includes a cover body and a connector including a terminal and a connector housing. The cover body includes a ferrous base metal body, and a Zn-based plating layer formed on a surface of the base metal body. The cover body has a through hole formed through the base metal body and the plating layer. The terminal is passed through the through hole and electrically connected to an electric circuit. The connector housing is formed on the cover body so as to surround the terminal. A laser mark is formed on the cover body. The laser mark has a circular shape about the through hole and penetrates the plating layer to the base metal body. The connector housing extends to the base metal body through the plating layer within the laser mark.
