Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electrical junction box includes: a circuit board to which an electronic component is connected; and a frame positioned with respect to the circuit board. The frame integrally includes a sub frame that surrounds at least part of a periphery of the electronic component. The sub frame is provided with a holding portion that holds the electronic component in the holding portion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electrical junction box comprising: a circuit board to which an electronic component is connected, wherein the electronic component includes a coil having a wound portion around which a winding wire is wound in an annular shape, and an axis of the wound portion is arranged along the circuit board; and a frame positioned with respect to the circuit board; wherein the frame integrally includes a sub frame that surrounds at least part of a periphery of the electronic component; and the sub frame is provided with a holding portion that holds the electronic component in the holding portion, wherein the holding portion is a support portion that is disposed between the electronic component and the circuit board to support the electronic component from the circuit board side, and the support portion has a curved surface shape along a side surface of the wound portion extending in an axial direction. 2. The electrical junction box according to claim 1 , wherein the holding portion is a groove portion into which a protrusion portion on the electronic component is fitted. 3. The electrical junction box according to claim 2 , wherein the electronic component includes a coil having a wound portion around which a winding wire is wound, a magnetic core, and a bobbin disposed between the coil and the magnetic core, and the protrusion portion is the bobbin that protrudes from the coil and the magnetic core.
