A casing including an upper casing member and a lower casing member is provided on the sidewalls with a connector hood for receiving a connector for lateral connection in order to provide an electrical junction box in which a divided connector hood integrated on upper and lower casing members can exert a sufficient holding force on a mating connector. The connector hood includes a first hood section that projects from the sidewall of the upper casing member and a second hood section that projects from the sidewall of the lower casing member. When the first and second hood sections are assembled integrally, they present a square frame configuration. One of the sections is formed into a U-shape in cross section. Each arm of the U-shape is provided on the free end with a holding portion extending inward. The other of the sections is formed into a flat plate to be fitted in the holding portions. Only the hood section provided with the holding portions can hold a mating connector fitted in the connector hood.
