Abstract
An electrical connection box having heat generating electrical parts contained therein includes an upper case, a case body, and a lower case. The case body has a top surface on which numerous concave grooves are formed in a matrix shape, and at least one of the concave grooves receives a cooling device therein in such a manner that a heat absorbing side of the cooling device is positioned inside the electrical connection box and a heat radiating side of the cooling device is located outside of the electrical connection box. Alternatively, the case body may include numerous attaching holes formed in a thickness direction of the case body or in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the case body, and at least one of the attaching holes receives a cooling device therein in such a manner that a heat absorbing side of the cooling device is positioned inside the electrical connection box and a heat radiating side of the cooling device is located outside of the electrical connection box. A position of the cooling device is capable of being changed in accordance with given mounting positions of the heat generating electrical parts.
