ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX HAVING SECTION FOR INSPECTING SLIT WIDTH OF FORK-TYPE TUNING TERMINAL, PARTICULARLY FOR IMPROVING RELIABILITY OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN RELAY OR TAB OF FUSE AND THE TUNING TERMINAL

摘要

PURPOSE: An electrical junction box having an inspection section of a slit width of a fork-type tuning terminal is provided to improve the reliability of electrical coupling between a relay or a tab of a fuse and the tuning terminal by accurately inspecting the slit width of the tuning terminal. CONSTITUTION: An electrical junction box includes a fork-type tuning terminal(3) in a terminal-receiving section, a coupler(3b), a slit gauge(4), and an inspection section. The fork-type tuning terminal includes a slit(3a) at the center thereof. The coupler is protruded from an opposed surface of the slit to insert a tab therebetween. The slit gauge is inserted into a rectangular terminal hole formed in an end of the terminal-containing section to inspect a slit width between the self and the coupler. The inspection section inspects the slit width of the fork-type tuning terminal. The inspection section includes a wide hole portion(15a) formed in the rectangular terminal hole at an insertion position of the slit gauge. The wide hole portion is formed by widening a length of a short side of the rectangular terminal hole. The central position of the slit in the fork-type tuning terminal and the central position of the slit gauge coincide with each other. The slit width is precisely inspected even when the fork-like tuning terminal is maximally shifted from the central position in the terminal-containing section.
