ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an electric connection box capable of preventing water from entering into the inside from the clearance between a closing area and an upper cover, thereby improving the water tightness. An electric connection box formed is formed of synthetic resin and includes a lower cover. An electric component mounting block housed in the lower cover, and an upper cover interfits with the lower cover. In addition, a guiding groove having an open upper area opened for passing a wire harness is provided in the lower cover, and a closing member is provided on the electric component mounting block for closing the guiding groove in the lower cover. Furthermore, in order to close a clearance between the closing member and the upper cover, a projection is formed either on the closing member or on the upper cover. With this projection, water is prevented from entering into the inner area of the electric connection box.
