Abstract: An electric junction box is disposed in a water penetration region and accommodates bus bars and fuses connected with the bus bars inside a case body. The case body is connected with an upper cover and a lower cover, with the upper cover and the lower cover mounted on the case body. An entire peripheral wall of the upper cover is formed not as a double wall, but the entire peripheral wall of the upper cover is locked to a peripheral wall of the lower cover (or case body), with an inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall in contact with an outer surface of an entire peripheral wall of the lower cover (or case body). In a watertight region including at least the fuses, a rib is projected in a shape of a frame from an inner surface of the upper wall of the upper cover to surround the watertight region.

Abstract: A fuse box includes a lower cover and an upper cover mounted on an intermediate case to form a box. A large-capacity fuse having an input terminal and an output terminal projecting in substantially opposite directions from one side surface of a body of the fuse is accommodated sidelong in the box within the lower cover and the upper cover to make a height of the fuse small. This makes the fuse box compact. The fuse box may be directly mounted on a battery by fixedly mounting it to an upwardly projecting batter post. An input-side bus bar to be accommodated in the box and the input terminal are fixed to each other with a screw, with one end of the input-side bus bar overlapping the input terminal. An output-side bus bar to be accommodated in the box and the output terminal are fixed to each other with a screw, with one end of the output-side bus bar overlapping the output terminal. A connection piece rigidly mounts the fuse box to the battery post.

Abstract: A drainage structure of an electric parts accommodation box includes a drainage port formed on a bottom wall of the box, a cut-out portion that is continuous with the drainage port, a tip of which tapers off to form an acute angle, and a water-leading groove that is continuous with the tip, formed on an outer surface of the bottom wall. With this, a droplet that sticks to the water-leading groove disposed on the outer surface of the bottom wall is brought into contact with a droplet that sticks to the tip of the cut-out portion disposed on an inner surface of the bottom wall to flow out a droplet that sticks to a peripheral edge of the drainage port to the outer surface of the bottom wall. This more effectively drains liquid droplets that would otherwise remain within the box to reduce current leaks caused by such droplets coming into contact with electrical components in the box, such as closely spaced bus bars.
