Abstract
An electrical connection box has upper and lower casing and locking components for locking the casings together in an assembled condition. An array of bus bars are mounted upright in the interior space of the casings. At least one of the casings has abutments pressing on the bus bars to maintain the bus bars in position. The bus bars urge the casings apart against the restraint of the locking components.
