Abstract
An electric junction box assembly includes an outer case and a top cover including an electrically conductive patch mounted to the outer case. An inner case is disposed in the outer case and includes an upper cover having a pair of slits spaced apart from each other and disposed beneath the electrically conductive patch. A first terminal and a second terminal are disposed in the inner case and spaced part from each other. Both of the first terminal and the second terminal have a projection portion extending into the pair of slits and contacting the electrically conductive path so as to complete an electric connection, wherein the electric connection is disconnected by removing the top cover.
