Bus bar mounting assembly

Abstract

The present invention is intended to provide a novel assembly for properly or accurately mounting the terminal portion of the bus bar on the terminal-accommodating portion of a body for an electric junction box without doing any harm to an electrical conduit(s) which is disposed within the electric junction box. An assembly for mounting a bus bar () to a body () for an electric junction box, comprises a hole () disposed in the bus bar (), and having a burr () created during the hole punching process; and a projection () formed in the body (), and suited for being press-fit into the hole (), wherein the projection () extends beyond the burr after being press-fit into the hole (). In this configuration, the hole () may serve as a basis for position determination of each terminal portion () of the bus bar (), and the projection () may serve as a basis for position determination of each terminal-accommodating portion () of the body (). A pair of the holes () may be spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of the bus bar (), and a pair of the projections () may be correspondingly formed in the body () so as to be press-fit into the holes (). The projection () may have a plurality of press-fit ribs () extending outwardly from a peripheral surface thereof, and being approximately triangular in traverse cross-section.
