Abstract

A battery module circuit (30) is for use in a module battery (10) having a battery (20) and to be attached to a vehicle. The battery module (10) is to be attached to a vehicle in a predetermined regular attachment state. When the battery module (10) is in a release state, which is released from the regular attachment state, a second conducting path (42) and a second terminal (34) are insolated from each other. The battery module circuit (30) has a structure in which the second conducting path (42) and the second terminal (34) are in electrical conduction by setting the battery module (10) to the regular attachment state. A switch (35) is in the off-state when the second conducting path (42) and the second terminal (34) are isolated from each other. A control unit (36) causes the switch (35) to be in the on-state when the state between the second conducting path (42) and the second terminal (34) is switched from the isolated state to the conducting state.

Abstract

An optical transmitter includes an optical transmission unit, a drive unit, an arithmetic circuit, and a bias supply circuit. The optical transmission unit includes a laser element. The drive unit drives the laser element according to a first transmission signal. The arithmetic circuit generates a second transmission signal. The bias supply circuit superimposes the second transmission signal on a bias current of the laser element. An output of the arithmetic circuit containing the second transmission signal is a digital signal in a rectangular wave form based on a reference clock having a frequency lower than a reference clock frequency of the first transmission signal. The bias supply circuit includes a circuit element for inclining a rising portion and a falling portion of the output of the arithmetic circuit.

Abstract

In the present invention, the area occupied by a peg on a circuit board is reduced. A board connector (A) is provided with: a housing (10); and a metal peg (20) that is attached to an outer wall surface (12) of the housing (10) and is fixed to a circuit board (P) by solder (S). The peg (20) has a narrow space (33) that opens in a slit shape toward the circuit board (P) and allows the molten solder (S) on the circuit board (P) to enter by capillary action. On an surface (41) of the peg (20) that faces the circuit board (P) and an inner surface of the narrow space (33), an alloy layer comprising the solder (S) and the peg (20) is formed, and this alloy layer contributes to improving the fixing strength of the peg (20) with respect to the circuit board (P). The alloy layer in the narrow space (33) extends away from the circuit board (P); therefore, the surface (41) of the peg (20) that faces the circuit board (P) can be kept small in area.
