<p>A structure of connection between a bus bar and a press-connecting branch terminal in an electric connnection box is disclosed wherein a plurality of bus bars constituting a circuit are accommodated within a casing composed of an upper case and a lower case; a housing having tab insertion holes at its bottom is formed on at least one of the upper and lower cases; a branch tab formed on one side portion of a press-connecting branch terminal is extended through the tab insertion hole into the housing to thereby constitute a connector insertion portion; and a desired one of the bus bars is press-fitted in and connected to a U-shaped slot formed in a press-connecting portion formed on the other side portion of the press-connecting terminal. The press-connecting branch terminal includes a base plate portion, opposed press-connecting portions formed on and projecting from one side of the base plate portion and each having a U-shaped slot, and one or more branch tabs formed on and projecting from the other side of the base plate portion. A seat for receiving the base plate portion is formed on an inner side of the bottom of the housing. A press projection is formed on that portion of the inner surface of the case disposed in opposed relation to the seat. Those portions of the press-connecting branch terminal and the bus bar which are press-connected together are fixedly held between the seat and the press projection.</p> |
