Abstract

In an electrical junction box, an electrical junction box main body is housed in a housing case consisting of an under case member and an upper case member, and a wire harness having its one end connected to the electrical junction box main body is led out to the outside of the housing case. The under case member has a pair of holding arms provided therein, which temporarily hold the wire harness to be led out roughly in a desired lead-out direction, the wire harness being led out from the under case member, in a state where the electrical junction box main body is temporarily housed in the under case member. The upper case member has guide ribs provided therein, which guide the wire harness in the desired lead-out direction, the wire harness being led out roughly in the desired lead-out direction by the pair of holding arms in the under case member, in an assembled state of the under case member and the upper case member.

Claims (11)

1. An electrical junction box comprising:

a housing case including an under case member and an upper case member; and

an electrical junction box main body housed in the housing case;

wherein a wire harness having one end connected to the electrical junction box main body is led out to outside of the housing case,

one of the under and upper case members has a harness temporary holding part which temporarily holds the wire harness to be led out roughly in a desired lead-out direction in a state where the electrical junction box main body is temporarily housed in the one of the under and upper case members, the wire harness being led out from the one of the under and upper case members, and

wherein the other one of the under and upper case members has a harness lead-out direction guiding part which guides the wire harness in the desired lead-out direction in an assembled state of the under and upper case members, the wire harness being led out roughly in the desired lead-out direction by the harness temporary holding part in the one of the under and upper case members.

2. The electrical junction box according to claim 1 , wherein the harness temporary holding part includes a pair of holding arms having drop preventing claws which are bent inward, and the harness temporary holding part temporarily holds the wire harness by setting the wire harness in between the pair of holding arms with elastic deformation of the pair of holding arms.

3. The electrical junction box according to claim 2 , wherein the other one of the under and the upper case members has a harness cover part which covers the pair of holding arms in the assembled state of the under and upper case members.

4. The electrical junction box according to claim 3 , wherein the harness lead-out direction guiding part is guide ribs provided upright on an inner surface of the harness cover part.

5. The electrical junction box according to claim 1 , wherein the other one of the under and the upper case members has a harness cover part which covers the temporary harness holding part in the assembled state of the under and upper case members.

6. The electrical junction box according to claim 1 , wherein the harness lead-out direction guiding part is guide ribs provided upright on an inner surface of a harness cover part.
