Abstract
An electric junction box having a simple configuration that can prevent a terminal from being pulled down. In an upper connector attached to a fuse box, terminal holders are provided so as to support relay portions of bus bar terminals from the front. Such a structure provides a simple configuration that can prevent the bus bar terminals from being pulled down when being received into and removed from an opposite connector. The relay portions are clamped between rear end edges of the terminal holders and rear walls of connectors. Such a configuration completely controls movement of the relay portions along the fitting direction to the opposite connector, thus reliably preventing displacement of the bus bar terminals.
Claims20
An electric junction box comprising:
- a circuit component including a bus bar board;
- a case housing said circuit component;
- a first housing unit provided in said case, including a receiving portion, configured to engage an opposite connector;
- at least one bus bar terminal including a relay portion and a connecting portion, said bus bar terminal received in said receiving portion such that said relay portion extends in a direction transverse to a receiving direction and said connecting portion extends in a direction substantially parallel to said receiving direction;
- and
- a second housing unit including a terminal holder configured to attach to said first housing unit such that said terminal holder supports said relay portion from a side opposite the receiving direction.
