ABSTRACT:
In order to readily remove a fusible link fastened by a bolt from an electrical junction box, an electrical junction box includes a bus bar made of an electrical conductive metallic plate and that has an input terminal section, a plurality of output terminal sections, narrow fusible portions interposed between the input and output terminal sections. The junction box further includes a fusible link embedding the bus bar in molded resin integrally, a body casing containing the fusible link, and a press fitting terminal coupled to an end of an electrical power source cable. The press fitting terminal is connected to the input terminal section by a bolt. A bolt-joining portion between the input terminal section and the press terminal is disposed on a position higher than an upper surface of the body casing or a position opposite to an cutout provided in the body casing. A bolt-handling space for fastening or releasing a bolt is defined at a position opposite to the bolt-joining portion.
