  • Patent number: 9924607
    Abstract: An electronic component unit includes a housing. The housing includes a housing space that houses an electronic component. The housing space is divided into a plurality of divided spaces by a central wall-shaped part protruding from a bottom of the housing space. The bottom defines a lower side of the housing space in the vertical direction. The central wall-shaped part has a connecting portion-fitting part to which a connecting part of an electric wire is fitted. For each of the divided spaces, the bottom has a short side direction tilted surface that is tilted from the central wall-shaped part toward the lower side in the vertical direction in a state where the housing is installed at an installation position, and a drain hole formed at a lower end of the short side direction tilted surface in the vertical direction.

  • Patent number: 9686877
    Abstract: A locking structure between a member to be supported and a supporting body includes an electronic component unit as a member to be supported, an electronic component unit housing part of an electrical connection box as a supporting body, a lock mechanism for upper insertion fitting (an engagement claw and a lock arm) that, when the electronic component unit is fitted to the electronic component unit housing part from an upper-side opening, locks the electronic component unit to the electronic component unit housing part to prevent the electronic component unit from escaping toward the upper-side opening, and a lock mechanism for lower insertion fitting (an engagement claw and a lock arm) that, when the electronic component unit is fitted to the electronic component unit housing part from a lower-side opening, locks the electronic component unit to the electronic component unit housing part to prevent from escaping toward the lower-side opening.

  • Patent number: 9496693
    Abstract: An electronic component unit includes a plate made of a resin material configured to embed metallic bus bars in the resin material and mount electronic components thereon, and a supporting member to which the plate is assembled. The plate has a plurality of exposed ends at which the bus bars are partially exposed on edge surfaces of the plate. The supporting member includes protrusions that are formed on opposed surfaces facing the edge surfaces of the plate such that the protrusions face the edge surfaces of the plate, protrude from the opposed surfaces toward the edge surface sides of the plate, and are each located between the adjacent exposed ends in an arrangement direction of the multiple exposed ends.
