Abstract

Disclosed is an electric junction box capable of preventing an electric wire from entering into a second housing and contacting with an electric wire crimped part, and of allowing a bus bar smoothly to insert into a frame. The electric wire includes a frame and a bus bar. The bus bar includes a plate part, a plurality of terminals projecting in parallel with each other from one end of the plate, and an electric wire crimped part projecting from the other end of the plate. The frame includes a first housing accommodating the plate part and the plurality of terminals, and a second housing projecting from an end of the first housing and accommodating the electric wire crimped part. A tubular peripheral wall composing the second housing includes a slit passing the bus bar therethrough upon the bus bar being inserted into the frame.

Claims (12)

1. An electric junction box, comprising:

a bus bar including

a plate part,

a plurality of terminals projecting in parallel with each other from one end of the plate, and

an electric wire crimped part projecting from the other end of the plate; and

a frame accommodating the bus bar and including

a first housing accommodating the plate part and the plurality of terminals, and

a second housing projecting from an end of the first housing and accommodating the electric wire crimped part, the second housing including

a tubular peripheral wall composing the second housing and being provided with a slit passing the bus bar therethrough upon the bus bar being inserted into the frame, and a bite prevention wall upstanding from both sides of the slit in an outward direction of the second housing.

2. The electric junction box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an upstand length of the bite prevention wall from the peripheral wall is arranged larger than an interval between the terminals adjacent to each other.

3. The electric junction box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the terminals include a pair of holders holding a connection mating member therebetween and are formed into tuning fork shape, and wherein an upstand length of the bite prevention wall from the peripheral wall is arranged larger than an interval between the pair of holders.

4. The electric junction box as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the upstand length of the bite prevention wall from the peripheral wall is arranged larger than an interval between the terminals adjacent to each other.
