Abstract

An electronic component unit includes a housing which accommodates an electronic component therein, which includes a bottom surface in a vertical direction and a side wall surface, and to which a connection portion with electric wire is provided on the bottom surface. The bottom surface of the housing includes an inclined surface. One side of the inclined surface disposed on a side of the side wall surface is positioned at a lower position in the vertical direction than the other side of the inclined surface disposed on a side of the connection portion.

Claims (17)

1. An electronic component unit, comprising:

a housing which accommodates an electronic component therein, which includes a bottom surface in a vertical direction and a side wall surface, and to which a connection portion with electric wire is provided on the bottom surface, the connection portion extending through the bottom surface,

wherein the bottom surface of the housing includes an inclined surface extending from a first side adjacent the side wall surface to a second side adjacent the connection portion, and

wherein the first side of the inclined surface is positioned at a lower position in the vertical direction than the second side of the inclined surface,

wherein said side wall surface extends in an upwardly vertical direction from the first side of the inclined surface.

2. The electronic component unit according to claim 1 ,

wherein the housing includes a water drainage portion which is a part of the side wall surface protruding lower in the vertical direction than the bottom surface.

3. The electronic component unit according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in the bottom surface, the inclined surface is provided in each of both sides of the connection portion, and

wherein the bottom surface is formed in a section having a shape similar to a chevron, the first side of the each inclined surface becomes a lowermost end position and the second side of the each inclined surface becomes an uppermost end position.

4. The electronic component unit according to claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprising a top cover portion disposed above a bottom portion, having said bottom surface, and forming a space therebetween for retaining a bus bar plate therein.

5. An electronic component unit, comprising:

a housing which accommodates an electronic component therein, which includes a bottom surface in a vertical direction and a side wall surface, and to which a connection portion with electric wire is provided on the bottom surface, the connection portion extending through the bottom surface,

wherein the bottom surface of the housing includes an inclined surface extending from a first side adjacent the side wall surface to a second side adjacent the connection portion, and

wherein the first side of the inclined surface is positioned at a lower position in the vertical direction than the second side of the inclined surface,

wherein the housing further includes a connection portion fitting portion to which the connection portion is fitted, and

wherein the housing includes a reinforcing rib which is formed at a position at a certain interval from the side wall surface and connects the connection portion fitting portion and the inclined surface.
