Both are coupled to the power terminal 82 by a fastening screw 85.
- the connector insertion portion 78 is provided side by side with the power supply terminal box 76 on the rear end surface of the housing 16.
- the connector insertion portion 78 is provided with a concave portion 99 on the rear end surface of the housing 16, and a lead wire hole 100 (see FIG. 8) that communicates the interior of the concave portion 99 with the inside of the housing 16.
