Abstract

An electronic component includes a rectangular parallelepiped main body portion and at least one terminal portion which is provided in the main body portion, wherein a housing member includes a first housing chamber which guides and accommodates the main body portion and a second housing chamber which accommodates and holds a terminal fitting, the first housing chamber is formed by surrounding with a frame-shaped wall portion uprightly raised from a bottom portion on every side, the second housing chamber is formed at an outside with the wall portion interposed therebetween, the terminal portion includes a base end and a fitting portion which extends from a protruding front end of the base end along a side surface of the main body portion while being separated from the side surface and is fitted to the terminal fitting.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An assembling structure of an electronic component, comprising:
an electronic component; at least one terminal fitting configured to be fitted to the electronic component; and a housing member configured to accommodate the electronic component and the terminal fitting, wherein the electronic component includes a rectangular parallelepiped main body portion and at least one terminal portion provided in the main body portion, the housing member includes a first housing chamber which guides and accommodates the main body portion and a second housing chamber which accommodates and holds the terminal fitting, the first housing chamber is formed by surrounding with a frame-shaped wall portion uprightly raised from a bottom portion on every side, and the second housing chamber is formed at an outside with the wall portion interposed therebetween, the terminal portion includes a base end and a fitting portion which extends from a protruding front end of the base end along a side surface of the main body portion while being separated from the side surface and is fitted to the terminal fitting, the fitting portion of at least one terminal portion is positioned so that the main body portion contacts the terminal fitting when at least one third of a height dimension of the main body portion is accommodated in the first housing chamber, and the electronic component, the terminal fitting, and the housing member are assembled each other.

2 . The assembling structure of the electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein
the electronic component includes a plurality of terminal portions, the second housing chamber accommodates and holds a plurality of the terminal fittings respectively fitted to the plurality of terminal portions, the fitting portions of the plurality of terminal portions are disposed so that the extension front ends are positioned at the same height position, and the plurality of terminal fittings is positioned at the same height position.

3 . The assembling structure of the electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein
the electronic component includes a plurality of terminal portions, the second housing chamber accommodates and holds the plurality of terminal fittings respectively fitted to the plurality of terminal portions, a part or the entirety of the terminal portions among the plurality of terminal portions are disposed so that the extension front ends are positioned at different height positions, and a part or the entirety of the terminal fittings among the plurality of terminal fittings are positioned at different height positions.

4 . The assembling structure of the electronic component according to claim 2 , wherein
the plurality of terminal portions is provided so that at least one terminal portion is provided in the opposite side surfaces, respectively of the main body portion, and the plurality of terminal fittings includes inclined portions which guide the fitting portions of the terminal portions, and the inclined portions are positioned so as to be inclined in the opposite direction at both sides with the main body portion interposed therebetween.

5 . The assembling structure of the electronic component according to claim 3 , wherein
the plurality of terminal portions is provided so that at least one terminal portion is provided in the opposite side surfaces, respectively of the main body portion, and the plurality of terminal fittings includes inclined portions which guide the fitting portions of the terminal portions, and the inclined portions are positioned so as to be inclined in the opposite direction at both sides with the main body portion interposed therebetween.

6 . An electrical junction box comprising:
the assembling structure of the electronic component according to claim 1 .

7 . An electrical junction box comprising:
the assembling structure of the electronic component according to claim 2 .

8 . An electrical junction box comprising:
the assembling structure of the electronic component according to claim 3 .

9 . An electrical junction box comprising:
the assembling structure of the electronic component according to claim 4 .
