ABSTRACT:
In an electrical junction box for an automobile vehicle, a casing includes upper and lower casing members. A lock section joints the upper and lower casing members. A vehicle attachment section extends outward from an outer surface of the casing above the lock section. A bracket projecting from a vehicle body is inserted upward into the vehicle attachment section to fix the electrical junction box onto the vehicle body. The electrical junction box comprises a lock protection section including right and left ribs that project from the outer surface of the casing on the opposite sides of the lock section so that the right and left ribs extend to a position higher than the lock section. A distance between the right and left ribs is set to be smaller than a width of the bracket. Then, interference between the bracket and the lock section is prevented upon insertion of the bracket to prevent a casing lock section of an electrical junction box from being damaged when the electrical junction box is secured to a vehicle body.
