Abstract
A switch box having a connector comprises eaves for covering an upper part of the connector, side water stopping walls for covering both sides of the connector, and an upper water stopping wall rising from a frontal edge of the eaves. When water splashes on the box from above, the water is guided to the side water stopping walls by the upper water stopping wall, whereafter the water flows down along the side water stopping walls. As a result, water flow to the connector can be prevented.
