Abstract
An electrical junction box for a vehicle has a connector module providing connection to an electrical connector, a fuse module providing connection to a plurality of fuses, and a relay module providing connection to a plurality of relays. The connector module has a plurality of insulation substrates stacked one on another to form a layered assembly having a pair of main faces and a plurality of sides, and bus bars on the insulation substrates providing first welding tabs which are aligned with one another in at least one linear row adjacent one of the sides of the layered assembly. The fuse module has one or more insulation substrates and bus bars providing projecting second welding tabs confronting the welding tabs of the connector module. The relay module has an insulation substrate and bus bars providing third welding tabs also confronting the welding tabs of the connector module. The second and third welding tabs are welded to the first tabs to effect connection of the circuits.
