A power distribution box assembly may include a housing, a circuit board disposed in the housing, a plurality of electrical components attached to the circuit board, and/or a plurality of electrical traces attached to the circuit board and configured for electrically connecting the plurality of electrical components to at least one of another electrical component of the plurality of electrical components and an electronic control unit. A power distribution box assembly may include a wiring harness connector connected to the housing. In embodiments, a wiring harness connector may include a connector housing and a plurality of connector terminals that may be configured for electrical connection with the plurality of electrical components. A plurality of electrical components may be disposed relative to the circuit board in a manner that minimizes at least one of a number, a length, and a volume of the electrical traces.
