Abstract
An electrical connection box having a wire guide projecting outwardly from its front and capable of receiving a wire harness. There is at least one opening through the wire guide or through a ring attached thereto which receives a tying band wrapped around the wire harness and the wire guide and extending through the opening. As a result, when the band is tightened, the wire harness is secured to the wire guide. The tying band is a strap with an enlarged head at one end with a hole therethrough. The other end passes around the wire harness and wire guide and through the opening. It then enters the hole and is retained by friction or a combination of a ratchet and a pawl.
