Abstract

Disclosed is an electric junction box dissipating heat generated by a bus bar toward components. The electric junction box 1 includes frame composed of a cassette block to which a plurality of components including a bus bar is attached, and a rack having the cassette block fitted thereinto. The cassette block includes component attachment part, and a connector fitting part into which a connector of a power source line input portion is fitted. The connector is electrically connected to the power source line input portion in the connector fitting part. The electric junction box includes a heat dissipation surrounding wall right above the connector fitting part. The heat dissipation surrounding wall is composed of a part of the cassette block and a part of the rack, inside which a heat dissipation space S is formed that any of the components avoids being attached to.

Claims (9)

1. An electric junction box, comprising:

a frame to which a plurality of components including a bus bar is attached; and

a heat dissipation surrounding wall disposed surrounded with only side walls just above a predetermined portion of the bus bar in the frame,

wherein any of the components avoids being attached to an inside of the heat dissipation surrounding wall so as to dissipate upwardly heat generated from the predetermined portion.

2. The electric junction box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame is provided with a cassette block, and a rack having the cassette block fitted thereinto, and wherein the heat dissipation surrounding wall is composed of a part of the cassette block and a part of the rack.

3. The electric junction box as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the predetermined portion corresponds to a power source input portion of the bus bar.

4. The electric junction box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame is provided with a cassette block, and a rack having the cassette block fitted thereinto, and wherein the heat dissipation surrounding wall is formed integral with the cassette block.

5. The electric junction box as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the predetermined portion corresponds to a power source input portion of the bus bar.

6. The electric junction box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the predetermined portion corresponds to a power source input portion of the bus bar.
