The junction box housing of a junction box is provided with a strip portion containing portion which contains a lateral edge of a strip portion where a terminal connecting portion of a flexible printed circuit is contained in the inside and a terminal containing hole arranged at the outside of the strip-shaped portion containing portion which contains a first connecting terminal. Thus, the first connecting terminal and the strip portion can be contained in the junction box housing with the terminal connecting portion bent to show an S-shaped profile so that the junction box main body can be made lightweight and low-profiled to realize downsizing.

Junction box and connector

There is disclosed a junction box including a junction box main body to which an electric component to be connected is attached, a connector portion, formed separately from the junction box main body, for connecting a connector of an outer wiring circuit, and a cable portion which includes a flexible printed circuit with a circuit portion including a conductor pattern formed on an insulating film, and electrically connects the junction box main body to the connector portion. With respect to an attachment position of one of the connector portion and junction box main body, an attachment position of the other can freely be changed.

Junction box, connector, and connecting terminal for use in the box and connector

There is disclosed a junction box including a junction box main body, a connector portion, and a cable portion which connects the junction box main body to the connector portion. Terminal connecting portions are formed to extend from opposite side edges of a strip portion of a flexible printed circuit constituting the cable portion in a short direction of the strip portion, and are connected to first to third connecting terminals. The third connecting terminal is connected to a desired connecting terminal connecting portion of a circuit distribution wiring circuit of a joint connector, electricity is conducted through a plurality of circuit portions in a desired circuit mode, and a wiring design freedom degree is enhanced.
