Patent ID: 7390198

Claim:
An electric junction box, a casing of which accommodates a branch circuit unit, a multi-function relay unit, and a relay unit arranged sequentially in parallel, wherein said branch circuit unit includes a laminate consisting of bus bars and insulating plates alternating with said bus bars and a first printed-circuit board which is disposed adjacently and parallel to said laminate and has an electric conductor on each of two sides thereof without having electric parts mounted thereon, wherein relay pins are projected toward said multi-function relay unit; said multi-function relay unit has a second printed-circuit board having electric parts mounted thereon and a relay connector mounted on said second printed-circuit board by penetrating said relay connector through an open portion formed on said second printed-circuit board, wherein said relay connector has a first relay terminal for connecting relay pins inserted thereinto from both sides thereof with each other and a second relay terminal for connecting a relay pin inserted thereinto from one side thereof with an electric conductor of said second printed-circuit board, wherein an external connection terminal is projected from said electric conductor of said second printed-circuit board into a connector fit-in portion formed in said casing; said relay unit has a plurality of relays mounted on a third printed-circuit board thereof, wherein a relay pin is connected with an electric conductor of said relay unit connected with said relays and projected toward said multi-function relay unit; and relay pins for connecting said branch circuit unit and said relay unit with each other are connected with said first relay terminal of said multi-function relay unit, wherein one of said relay pins is connected with said second relay terminal and connected with a connector disposed at a wire harness terminal fitted in said connector fit-in portion through said electric conductor of said second printed-circuit board.
