Abstract
An electrical connection box for use in a vehicle, particularly a car, has a casing, and a stack of bus bars and insulation plates alternating in a vertical direction. For drainage of water penetrating onto the stack, each insulation plate has a drainage aperture and a drainage wall extending downwardly from its aperture so as to define and surround a drainage passage. At least each of the insulation plates below the upper plate has on its upper surface a flow interruption rib upstanding continuously around its drainage aperture. Water on one bus bar does not connect the bus bar conductively to another bus bar.
