Abstract
A water-proof lower cover is provided on a relay box proper with a fusible link mounted thereon. A guide member having a bottom wall and side walls is formed on the lower cover for guiding a ring terminal inserted by way of a terminal insertion hole of the lower cover. The ring terminal guided by the guide member is electrically connected to a bus bar and the terminal of the fusible link by fastening a bolt to a nut. As a result, the ring terminal inserted into the relay box proper at the portion thereof opposite to the fusible link can be mounted efficiently on the terminal of the fusible link.
