Abstract
A junction block is composed of an upper casing accommodating a bus bar distribution board and a lower casing forming an integral connector housing for accommodating a mating connector. The bus bar has integral tabs extending rectangularly to the bus bar and into the connector housing through respective holes formed in the bottom wall of the connector housing. There is provided a deflecting barrier member in the shape of an elongate rectangular bar adjacent an opening which has necessarily been formed in the bottom wall of the connector housing as finished by plastic moulding. In case any water or water drops should creep into the connector housing via the opening in its bottom wall, they are prevented from reaching the tab base zone by the deflecting barrier member which serves to conduct creeping water or water drops downwardly or in the discharge direction. Hence, it will be avoided to cause short circuits or leakage currents to occur between the adjoining bus bars or terminals of the connector.
