A plate-shaped primary terminal member (on the electrical contact surface 3a of the conductor 3 connected to the coil end (hereinafter referred to as the winding start end) 6 of the primary coil 5 is exposed to the coil surface. (Hereinafter referred to as a plate-like terminal member) 2 is attached by a fixing bolt 8, and the user-side conductor 1 is connected to the plate-like terminal member 2 by a fixing bolt 9 ′. That is, the primary terminal on the coil winding start side has a configuration in which the plate-like terminal member 2 is fixed to the conductor 3. Further, an auxiliary terminal 4 is provided along with the primary terminal in a direction along the coil axis 40 (Z-axis direction), and the auxiliary terminal 4 together with the conductor 3 stably fixes the plate-like terminal member 2.

Of the above-described conventional techniques, the configuration shown in FIG. 8 uses the plate-like terminal member 2 as the primary terminal on the high voltage side, so that the dimensions of the primary terminal increase and the transformer dimensions tend to increase.

There is also. Further, in the configuration of FIG. 8, the plate-like terminal member 2 is required separately from the conductor 3 as the primary side terminal, and the auxiliary terminal 4 is further required separately from the primary side terminal. The number of parts constituting the portion to which the conductor is connected increases, and these assembling operations are also required. As a result, this is considered to contribute to the high cost.

The publication does not describe the configuration of the primary side terminal or the securing of the insulation distance from the iron-significant component. Further, the technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-204350 is intended to reduce the size and weight of a transformer by reducing the thickness of the resin layer on the front surface of the resin layer where the coil tap terminals are arranged. In this publication, the configuration of the primary terminal and the configuration of the resin portion around it are not described.
