Abstract

Disclosed is a case for an electric junction box capable of preventing water that hits onto and bounds from a projection from invading into the case. The case for the electric junction box includes a synthetic resin made case main body, an upper cover, and a lower cover. Adjacent to a part where the case main body and the upper cover are joined a bracket for fixing car body that projects from an outer face of the case main body is disposed. The bracket is provided with a plurality of insertion holes for draining water. The plurality of insertion holes is also disposed throughout the bracket. In such the case, the water blown to the bracket falls down, without bounding, through the insertion holes, and thus making it possible to prevent the water from invading into the case.
