ABSTRACT:
An electrical connection unit which includes a main box, a connector mounted from one side of the main box, and a junction block mounted in the main box from the opposite side. The junction block carries electrical parts such as relays, fuses, etc. There is a connector cavity in the main box into which the connector is placed. There is also a support in the connector cavity upon which the connector rests in its preliminary position. Tightening elements on the junction block and the connector serve to affix these two elements together in their assembled position. There are also cavity grooves on the inner surface of the connector cavity and complementary projections which enter the grooves as the elements are assembled. The Invention provides a means whereby the connection unit can be readily assembled without the necessity of turning it over and without the use of any tools. The tightening means are simple and easy to operate, thus minimizing the cost of the finished product.
