ABSTRACT:
An electrical connection box for an automotive vehicle is provided which reduces costs for parts by allowing only printed circuit boards with necessary electronic control circuits to be selectively mounted. The electrical connection box has a plurality of partition members 3 integrally and projectingly formed on a side surface of a casing 1, i.e. an inner surface of an accommodation space 2 at specified intervals. The respective partition members 3 extend from the upper surface to the lower surface of the casing 1 and the leading ends thereof project sideways. Printed circuit boards 4a, 4b, 4c are inserted into spaces between neighboring partition members 4a, 4b, 4c. On each of the printed circuit boards 4a, 4b, 4c are mounted a variety of electronic devices such as a relay, a diode and a capacitor constituting an electronic control circuit. In such an electrical connection box, only the printed circuit boards 4a, 4b, 4c having the necessary electronic control circuits mounted according to a vehicle type can be selectively accommodated in the accommodation space 2. Therefore, there are no unused electronic control circuits and, a cost for parts can be reduced.
