Abstract
In a terminal connection structure, a stud bolt is stood and inserted into a hole of a top plate portion of a terminal, and the nut is screwed and fastened to the stud bolt on the top plate, thus connecting the terminal to the stud bolt. A terminal accommodation section is formed by a tubular wall around the stud bolt. It has an opening and ribs at a part of a circumference thereof, and allows the terminal fixed to the stud bolt from above. The opening is formed so as to fit on a belt portion extending from the top plate portion toward a fixing portion of the terminal. The ribs are protruded on the protection wall. The ribs prevent the terminal from being detached upward when the terminal is being temporarily lifted. The ribs are arranged at different heights in a top-bottom direction of the stud bolt.
