Abstract
A centralized power distribution unit for a vehicular thin brushless motor includes a plurality of bus bars, an insulating holder that holds the bus bars to form a predetermined gap between the bus bars, and a resin insulating layer that covers the bus bars. Each of the bus bars has a terminal portion to be connected to a power source, such as a battery, and a tab to be connected to a winding of a stator. The bus bars are disposed correspondingly with phases of the motor. A plurality of holding grooves are formed in the insulating holder. The bus bars, which are pre-bent in a thickness direction to be shaped into a substantially annular shape, are respectively accommodated in the holding grooves. The pre-bending is preferably carried out by a bending machine.
