摘要

A plastic panel forming part of a motor vehicle is disclosed having a number of embedded conductors for electrically connecting together an electrical connector and an electrical unit. Parts of the electrical connector and the electrical unit are formed as integral parts of the plastic panel. The electrical connector includes terminals connected to the electrical conductors for co-operation with terminals formed as part of a plug used to connect the conductors to other electrical circuits of the motor vehicle. In one embodiment the electrical unit is in the form of a fuse box having electrical terminals held in position by the plastic panel and in pairs for cooperation with a respective fuse.
