Abstract

An electric junction box includes a housing configured to accommodate an electronic component and a lid configured to be attached to the housing to cover an opening of the housing. The housing includes a housing body configured to accommodate the electronic component, and a partition wall dividing an inner space of the housing body. The partition wall is provided with a jig pin hole extending along a direction in which the lid is attached to the housing, the jig pin hole being configured such that a pin provided on a workbench is to be inserted into the jig pin hole making the housing fixed to the workbench on which another component is to be attached to the housing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electric junction box comprising:
a housing configured to accommodate an electronic component; and
a lid configured to be attached to the housing to cover an opening of the housing,
wherein the housing comprises: a housing body configured to accommodate the electronic component; and a partition wall dividing an inner space of the housing body, and
wherein the partition wall is provided with a jig pin hole having a depth extending in a direction in which the lid is attached to the housing, the jig pin hole being configured such that a pin provided on a workbench is to be inserted into the jig pin hole affixing the housing to the workbench on which another component is to be attached to the housing.

2. The electric junction box according to claim 1 ,
wherein the other component includes a block to which the electronic component is to be attached, the block being configured to be locked to the housing body, and
wherein the partition wall is provided with a locking portion configured to be engaged with the block.

3. The electric junction box according to claim 2 ,
wherein the jig pin hole and the locking portion are adjacent to each other.

4. The electric junction box according to claim 1 ,
wherein the partition wall is provided with a protruding portion protruding in a thickness direction of the partition wall, the protruding portion extending in the direction in which the lid is attached to the housing, and
wherein the jig pin hole is provided in the protruding portion.

5. The electric junction box according to claim 4 ,
wherein the other component includes a block to which the electronic component is to be attached, the block being configured to be locked to the housing body, and
wherein at least a part of a locking portion, the locking portion being configured to be engaged with the block, is provided in the protruding portion.

6. The electric junction box according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a fitting component to which the electronic component and an electric wire configured to be electrically connected to the electronic component are attached,
wherein the fitting component is fitted to and held by the housing at a position on one side of the block in the direction in which the lid is attached to the housing.

7. The electric junction box according to claim 1 , wherein
the lid includes an upper cover configured to cover one opening of the housing, and a lower cover configured to cover the other opening of the housing, and
the jig pin hole is provided through the partition wall from the one opening of the housing to the other opening of the housing.
