Patent number: 9681569Abstract: Provided is an electrical connection box that achieves downsizing by means of efficient arrangement of electronic components and terminals on a board. An electrical connection box (1) includes a board (21), a terminal holder (22), flat-plate terminals (23), and electronic components (24). The terminal holder (22) is mounted to the board (21). The flat-plate terminal (23) includes a first portion (41), a second portion (42), and a third portion (43). The first portion (41) is connected to the board (21), and extends substantially perpendicularly from the board (21). The second portion (42) is connected to the first portion (41), and extends substantially in parallel with the board (21). The third portion (43) is connected to the second portion (42), is connectable to a connector, and extends substantially perpendicularly to the board (21). The electronic component (24) is arranged between the second portion (42) of the flat-plate terminal (23) and the board (21).Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2014Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignees: FURUKAWA ELECTRIC CO., LTD., FURUKAWA AUTOMOTIVES SYSTEMS INC.Inventors: Toshimichi Kaminishi, Shinichi Jingama, Fumikazu Naimi

Patent number: 9148002Abstract: Provided is an electrical junction box that enables appropriate protection of a bus bar and also enables downsizing. The electrical junction box includes a terminal reception block (11) that accommodates a connection terminal, and a casing (12) that accommodates the terminal reception block (11). The terminal reception block (11) is configured such that a bus bar (19) is inserted into the terminal reception block (11) and an end portion of the bus bar (19) at the side opposite to the direction of insertion protrudes from the terminal reception block (11). The casing (12) includes a protector (20) that is configured to cover the end portion of the bus bar (19) protruding from the terminal reception block (11). Making the terminal reception block (11) accommodated in the casing (12) causes the end portion of the bus bar (19) to be covered with the protector (20).Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2012Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignees: FURUKAWA ELECTRIC CO., LTD., FURUKAWA AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS INC.Inventors: Satoshi Shibata, Fumikazu Naimi, Akihisa Watanabe

Patent number: 8309847Abstract: Drain structure of an electric connection box is provided that is capable of preventing penetration of water with simplicity. According to the drain structure of the electric connection box, since a pair of engaging leg portions of a waterproof lid is engaged in a peripheral part of a communication hole of the drain portion and a lid portion covers the upper part of the water discharging hole, the water that penetrates through to the inside of the electric connection box through the communication hole and water discharging hole of the drain portion can be dammed in use of lid portion of the waterproof lid and can be prevented from gushing into the electric connection box. As a result, since it is possible to prevent the terminal portion of a wire such as a wire harness or the like, which is arranged to run from moistening with the water, penetration of water can be surely prevented.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2008Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Furukawa Electric Co., LtdInventors: Kengo Aburaya, Fumikazu Naimi, Masami Takase
