## Abstract

An electrical junction box includes: a case main body to which a bolt is attached; a terminal of which one end is provided with a bolt insertion portion, of which the other end is provided with a wire connection portion, and of which the center is provided with a bent portion bent at right angle; two electric wires connected to the wire connection portion; and a side cover to which the terminal is attached. When the side cover is mounted on one side surface of the case main body, the bolt is inserted into the bolt insertion portion. The side cover is provided with a wire fixing piece having an arc-like sectional shape and extended along the one electric wire. The two electric wires are wound together with the wire fixing piece by a tape, and fixed to the wire fixing piece.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electrical junction box comprising:
a case main body to which a bolt is attached;
a terminal of which one end is provided with a bolt insertion portion, and the other end is provided with a wire connection portion;
an electric wire connected to the wire connection portion; and
a side cover to which the terminal is attached,
wherein the bolt is inserted into the bolt insertion portion by mounting the side cover on a side surface of the case main body,
wherein the side cover is provided with a wire fixing piece extended along the electric wire, and
wherein a sectional shape of the wire fixing piece is a shape having a space for receiving the electric wire at an opposite side to the bolt insertion portion with respect to a straight line connecting both ends of the wire fixing piece.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electrical junction box as claimed in claim 1,
wherein when two of first electric wires are used, the wire fixing piece abuts on an outer periphery of one of the first electric wires,
wherein when one of second electric wire of which diameter is larger than the first electric wire is used, only both ends of the wire fixing piece abut on an outer periphery of the second electric wire, and
wherein when either of the first and second electric wires is used, a distance from the wire fixing piece to the bolt insertion portion is kept in a position where the bolt is inserted into the bolt insertion portion.
