To improve mountability of a current sensor. ÄSolutionÜ A battery-side terminal 2 includes a fastening ring 5 to be fixed to a battery post 1 upon being tightened, and a connecting piece 8 extends from the fastening ring 5. A current sensor 4 includes a sensor portion 4A formed with a slit 14 through which the connecting piece 8 is insertable. The battery-side terminal 2 and the current 4 are transported to a connection site while being assembled into one unit. At the connection site, the connecting piece 8 and the harness-side terminal 3 are aligned and placed one over the other, and are tightened by means of a bolt. Since this tightening operation is performed at a position distanced from a battery, it can be smoothly performed without being hindered.
