Abstract
An electrical connection box for a vehicle has bus bars providing terminals which stand up close to each other, and an insulation plate through which the terminals project. A case member covering the insulation plate provides housing spaces for the terminals. A partitioning wall of the casing separating the housing spaces contacts the upper end of an upstanding wall of the insulation plate. One of the partitioning walls and the upstanding walls has a recess and the other has a projection received in the recess. This prevents liquid passage from one housing space to the other, and minimizes risk of current leak between terminals.
Claims15
An electrical connection box comprising:
- a plurality of bus bars providing at least two upstanding terminals close to each other,
- an insulation plate overlying said bus bars and having respective apertures through which said terminals project and further having at least one upstanding wall adjacent to said apertures and having an upper end,
- a case member covering said insulation plate and having walls providing respective housing spaces for said terminals including a partitioning wall separating an adjacent pair of said housing spaces,
- wherein said partitioning wall has a lower end in contact with said upper end of said upstanding wall, and one of said lower end of said partitioning wall and said upper end of said upstanding wall has a recess and the other thereof has a projection received in said recess.
A vehicle with an electrical connection box mounted on it comprising:
- a plurality of bus bars providing at least two upstanding terminals close to each other,
- an insulation plate overlying said bus bars and having respective apertures through which said terminals project and further having at least one upstanding wall adjacent said apertures and having an upper end,
- a case member covering said insulation plate and having walls providing respective housing spaces for said terminals including a partitioning wall separating an adjacent pair of said housing spaces,
- wherein said partitioning wall has a lower end in contact with said upper end of said upstanding wall and one of said lower end of said partitioning wall and said upper end of said upstanding wall has a recess and the other thereof has a projection received in said recess.
A robot with an electrical connection box mounted on it comprising:
- a plurality of bus bars providing at least two upstanding terminals close to each other,
- an insulation plate overlying said bus bars and having respective apertures through which said terminals project and further having at least one upstanding wall adjacent said apertures and having an upper end,
- a case member covering said insulation plate and having walls providing respective housing spaces for said terminals including a partitioning wall separating an adjacent pair of said housing spaces,
- wherein said partitioning wall has a lower end in contact with said upper end of said upstanding wall and one of said lower end of said partitioning wall and said upper end of said upstanding wall has a recess and the other thereof has a projection received in said recess.
