Abstract
An electrical connector housing includes a first shell mountable on a second shell. The first shell is provided with connector mounts to be fit with connectors, fuse mounts to be fit with fuses and relay mounts to be fit with relays. The electrical connector housing contains a busbar stack which includes a connector circuitry module containing connector-connecting circuits, a fuse circuitry module containing fuse-connecting circuits, and a relay circuitry module containing relay-connecting circuits. In this manner, only the busbars contained in the fuse-connecting circuits and those contained in the relay-connecting circuits can be formed of a copper alloy which is harder than pure copper. As a result, the busbar terminals of the fuse-and relay-connecting circuits can be connected directly to the fuse and the relays, respectively. The electrical connector housing thus configured has a simple structure, and can be constructed without increasing costs.
