An electrical connection box comprising a box main body that accommodates an electrical component and a connector for connection with an electrical wire that is provided in a protruding manner on an outer surface of the box main body, the electrical connection box being mounted on a vehicle and used for connection of a plurality of on-board loads to an on-board power supply comprises a protector that is provided in a protruding manner along a protrusion direction of the connector and protects the connector.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An electrical connection box being mounted on a vehicle and used for connection of a plurality of on-board loads to an on-board power supply, the electrical connection box comprising: a main body that accommodates an electrical component, a connector for an electrical wire connection that is provided in a protruding manner on an outer surface of the box main body, and a protector that is provided in a protruding manner along a protrusion direction of the connector and protects the connector, wherein the protector is hollow columnar, and wherein the protector has a first wall portion having a side that faces the connector and a second wall portion positioned on a second side of the first wall portion, the second side being opposite to the side of the first wall portion that faces the connector, and the second wall portion being thinner than the first wall portion; and wherein an outer surface of the second wall portion is tapered. 2. An electrical connection box being mounted on a vehicle and used for connection of a plurality of on-board loads to an on-board power supply, the electrical connection box comprising: a main body that accommodates an electrical component, a connector for an electrical wire connection that is provided in a protruding manner on an outer surface of the box main body, and a protector that is provided in a protruding manner along a protrusion direction of the connector and protects the connector, wherein the protector is hollow columnar, and wherein the protector has a first wall portion having a side that faces the connector and a second wall portion positioned on a second side of the first wall portion, the second side being opposite to the side of the first wall portion that faces the connector, the second wall portion being thinner than the first wall portion; the first wall portion being extended along the connector, and the second wall portion is continuous to an extended end of the first wall portion to form an acute angle with respect to the first wall portion.
