Joining structure for junction box and electrical component connector block

Abstract

A connecting structure between a junction box and an electrical component connector block that prevents material failure of the connecting structure. The junction box and connector block, which includes receptacles for components on an upper surface thereof, are adjacently connected by joint structure formed between mutually facing external sidewalls of the junction box and connector block. A hook portion, which is formed as an integral component of the connector block, connects to the upper edge of a sidewall of junction box when the connector block is joined to the junction box. This structure prevents the load applied by the insertion of components into a receptacle of the connector block from being concentrated at a single point, and thus prevents material failure of the connecting structure.
