Abstract: A wire harness includes an electrical connection box. The electrical connection box includes a body in which an electronic component is mounted and a lower cover. The lower cover covers a rectangular frame and a vertically lower end portion of the rectangular frame, and includes: a bottom disposed parallel to a panel of a vehicle body, the panel facing the lower cover; an inlet having the smallest distance from the panel; and a channel-forming depression. The channel-forming depression is provided on the vertically lower side than the inlet, formed by bending at least a part of the bottom toward the inside of the lower cover, and formed along a surface of the panel, so as to allow liquid that has entered between the bottom and the panel to flow to the outside.

Abstract: An electrical connection box applied to a wire harness includes a casing and a cover member. The casing is provided with a first member that houses an electronic component and a second member and an insertion port formed on the first member, and an exterior installation unit formed outside the insertion port of the first member with an end of an exterior member of which being arranged in a stacking direction. The cover member has a pair of locking units, and is locked to the exterior installation unit via the pair of locking units and holds an end of the exterior member between the cover member and the first member. The second member includes a pressing wall that interposes an end to be pressed of the cover member between the pressing wall and the first member and that presses the end to be pressed toward the first member side.

Abstract: An electronic component unit includes a housing which accommodates an electronic component therein, which includes a bottom surface in a vertical direction and a side wall surface, and to which a connection portion with electric wire is provided on the bottom surface.
