Abstract
A thin, lightweight electrical connector box utilizing fewer components due to a construction in which air, instead of insulator boards, is used as the insulating material between the ECU, other electrical components, and an internal circuit contained within the electrical connector box. Externally facing connector modules are sandwiched between a lower case and un upper case. Mounting posts are formed on each end of connector modules to fixedly secure two ends of an ECU baseboard through insertion into opposing holes formed therein. The ECU baseboard is supported by connector modules within the region between the lower case and the upper case.
Claims9
An electrical connector box comprising:
- a lower case and an opposing upper case, said lower case defining a bottom of said electrical connector box and said upper case defining a top of said electrical connector box;
- a plurality of component modules provided between said lower case and said upper case, wherein at least one of said modules faces a side of the connector box;
- a plurality of ECU baseboard mounting posts provided on said modules facing said upper case;
- and
- a plurality of attaching elements provided on an ECU baseboard, said attaching elements configured for connection to respective said mounting posts so that said modules support said ECU baseboard between said lower case and said upper case.
