Abstract
An installation flange of a terminal along with a sealing member is pressed between a connection opening and an independent member engaged with the connection opening. The connection opening may be part of the terminal, and is provided on a part of a container. Consequently, the installation flange is fixed, and the connection opening is sealed. The terminal with an iron flange can be attached to an aluminum container without increasing the weight.
