Electrical junction box
View Patent ↗Provided is an electrical junction box which prevents a bonder cap from falling out of a bonder cap accommodating part without using a bundling tie. The electrical junction box includes a frame having a bonder cap accommodating part and a terminal-attached wire accommodating part, and a cover. An edge forming an insertion port of the bonder cap accommodating part includes a low pro file portion with the same height as that of an edge of the terminal-attached wire accommodating part and a projecting portion projecting beyond the low profile portion. In a state where the cover is attached to the frame, a distance between the low profile portion and the cover is longer than the full length of the bonder cap, and a distance between the most projected portion of the projecting portion and the cover is shorter than the full length of the bonder cap. The wire bundle outside the bonder cap accommodating part is bent toward the low profile portion.
1. An electrical junction box comprising a frame and a cover attached to the frame,
the frame including:
a bonder cap accommodating part into which a bonder cap is press-fitted, the bonder cap being put over an edge of a wire bundle to protect a portion where core wires of the wires are electrically connected to each other; and
a terminal-attached wire accommodating part into which a terminal-attached wire is inserted,
the cover being attached to the bonder cap accommodating part and the terminal-attached wire accommodating part near insertion ports thereof, wherein
an edge forming the insertion port of the bonder cap accommodating part includes a low profile portion and a projecting portion projecting beyond the low profile portion, and
in a state where the cover is attached to the frame, a distance between the low profile portion and the cover is longer than a full length of the bonder cap, a distance between the most projected portion of the projecting portion and the cover is shorter than the full length of the bonder cap, and the wire bundle is bent toward the low profile portion.
2. The electrical junction box according to claim 1 , wherein
the terminal-attached wire accommodating part is adjacent to the low profile portion, and
the low profile portion has a same height as that of an edge forming the insertion port of the terminal-attached wire accommodating part.
