Abstract: Disclosed is an electric junction box in which a pair of cassette blocks is arranged at intervals to each other in a component-attaching direction, capable of downsizing without increase of the number of component. The electric junction box comprises a pair of cassette blocks, configured to attach electric components thereto, arranged at intervals mutually in a component-attaching direction; and a cross-sectionally U-shaped bus bar attached to one cassette block, electrically connected to the electric components, a middle of the bus bar being arranged in a direction perpendicular to the component-attaching direction, both ends of the U-shaped bus bar being arranged in the component-attaching direction, wherein the electric components attached to the other cassette block are opposed to the middle of the bus bar.

Abstract: An arrangement and method for establishing an electrical and mechanical connection between electrically conductive members. The arrangement includes an electrically conductive connecting member, two electrically conductive metallic members disposed opposite each other, flanking the connecting member, and clamping the connecting member therebetween, and a source of laser energy oriented such that an output beam therefrom is incident on an outer surface of one of the metallic members and directed towards the underlying connecting member to establish a weld connection at zones of mutual contact between the connecting member and the respective metallic members. The connecting member includes a cable or the like and the metallic members include contact terminals, busbars or the like.
