Abstract:
1. A junction box with an electric circuit formed by laminating a plurality of plates each having a conductive pattern on a surface thereof and connecting the desired conductive patterns to each other by one or more terminals penetrating the laminated plates, the junction box comprising: a plurality of pole structures which is uprightly formed on a bottom surface of the junction box so as to be located at a position not contacting the conductive patterns of the laminated plates and to face a direction of penetrating the plates; and a plurality of insertion holes which is formed in the plates so as to allow the pole structures to be inserted therethrough; wherein each of the plurality of plates has the same shape when viewed in a direction orthogonal to the surface, wherein the plurality of pole structures is formed to have a plurality of different heights, and wherein the plurality of plates is arranged in a predetermined order in such a way that among the plates having insertion holes to allow the pole structures to be inserted therethrough, at least a first plate has the same number of insertion holes as the number of the pole structures such that all pole structures are allowed to insert therethrough; at least a second plate has one less hole than the number of the pole structures such that all the pole structures except the shortest pole structure are allowed to insert therethrough; and at least a third plate has two less holes than the number of the pole structures such that all the pole structures except the shortest and the second shortest pole structures are allowed to insert therethrough.
