Claim:
An electrical junction box fixed to a component-fixation section in a vehicle, comprising at least one mounting foot, the mounting foot including: an insertion hole into which a fastening bolt upstanding on the component-fixation section is inserted; a ring-shaped rib whose inner surface defines the insertion hole; a plurality of radial ribs radially extending from an outer surface of the ring-shaped rib; and a breakage-inducing portion comprising a throughhole defined by a part of an outer surface of the ring-shaped rib, an outer edge of the mounting foot, and a pair of the plurality of radial ribs between which a displacement trajectory extends, configured to induce a breakage of the mounting foot in a vehicle collision, the breakage-inducing portion extending in the displacement direction in which a box body of the electrical junction box is displaced in the vehicle collision, and residing on a displacement trajectory in which the fastening bolt is displaced in the vehicle collision.
