Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electrical connection box includes a bus bar, a case to which the bus bar is fixed, a terminal that is connected to the bus bar, a fixing member that fixes a connection portion at which the terminal and the bus bar are connected to each other, and a base member that holds the fixing member. The fixing member and the base member are disposed at a position at which the fixing member and the base member overlap the connection portion of the bus bar, and when the connection portion at which the terminal and the bus bar are connected to each other is fixed, the base member moves in a direction in which the base member comes into contact with the bus bar.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electrical connection box comprising: a bus bar; a case to which the bus bar is fixed; a terminal that is connected to the bus bar; a fixing member that fixes a connection portion at which the terminal and the bus bar are connected to each other; and a base member that holds the fixing member, the base member disposed on a portion of the case and underneath the connection portion; wherein the fixing member and the base member are disposed at a position at which the fixing member and the base member overlap the connection portion of the bus bar, and when the connection portion at which the terminal and the bus bar are connected to each other is fixed, the base member moves in a direction in which the base member comes into contact with the bus bar, wherein an under surface of the base member is spaced apart and free from the portion of the case. 2. The electrical connection box according to claim 1 , wherein the case is a heat dissipation member made of a heat conductive material. 3. The electrical connection box according to claim 1 , wherein an electronic component is connected to the terminal. 4. The electrical connection box according to claim 3 , wherein the electronic component is a coil. 5. The electrical connection box according to claim 1 , wherein a wiring member is connected to the terminal. 6. The electrical connection box according to claim 5 , wherein the wiring member is an electrical wire. 7. The electrical connection box according to claim 2 , wherein an electronic component is connected to the terminal. 8. The electrical connection box according to claim 2 , wherein a wiring member is connected to the terminal.
