ABSTRACT:
An electrical junction box for use in a vehicle is capable of receiving a plurality of fuses of the type having a body and a pair of blades extending from the body. The junction box includes a body portion with a plurality of parallel slots adapted to receive a fuse blade. A substantially rectangular aperture receives a second fuse blade from one side of the junction box and an electrical connector from the other side. A plurality of resilient locking arms extend from the body portion and are arranged such that pairs of locking arms are located on opposite sides of the lateral opening of the aperture and define fuse mounting locations. Each locking arm has an inner surface from which a pair of parallel guide rails extend to form a fuse receiving channel, and a lock projection extends form the inner surface between the guide rails to secure the fuse within the junction box. A fuse puller is used to remove fuses form their positions between the locking arms.
