Abstract: A joint terminal mounting structure for an electric junction box incorporates a junction box body having at least one terminal portion connected to at least one joint terminal; a joint terminal accommodating box having at least one joint terminal accommodating cavity; and a cover adapted to cover the joint terminal accommodating box. Since the present device uses a joint terminal accommodating box, joint terminals can be securely connected with ease, resulting in improved work efficiency and reliable electrical connections. Further, since the present device has a structure in which the cover is incorporated in the joint terminal accommodating box, the projecting height of the cover is suppressed to improve resin moldability, thereby resulting in improved mold life and yield.

Abstract: An electric connection box includes a pair of upper and lower cases connected together to provide a casing, one of the upper and lower cases having an electrically insulating housing. A wiring assembly is accommodated within the casing and includes an electrically insulating plate and a plurality of bus bars mounted on the insulating plate. External connection terminals are electrically connected to the bus bars and have respective contact portions received within the insulating housing. In one example, each of the external connection terminals includes a base portion, a plurality of contact portions formed on one lateral edge of the base portion, and a bus bar-gripping portion formed on the other lateral edge of said base portion. The base portion is fixed to the case, with the contact portions extending into the housing. When the wiring assembly is covered or enclosed by the covers, the bus bar-gripping portion is press-fitted relative to the bus bar.
