A wire harness arranged in a vehicle has an electrical connection box at the terminal thereof. The electrical connection box includes an electronic component block to which a plurality of electronic components are assembled and a casing to be an assembly destination of the electronic component block. The casing has a structure in which an upper opening portion surrounded by an edge of a frame peripheral wall is rotatably moved and covered by a separate upper cover. In the casing, a protrusion is formed on one of the frame peripheral wall or the upper cover. On the other thereof, a protrusion engaging portion is formed with respect to the protrusion. The protrusion is formed so as to be engaged with the protrusion engaging portion in an inserted state. In such protrusion, a projection is integrally formed so as to at least prevent the upper cover from coming off.

A printed circuit board and a method for the production thereof. The printed circuit board can include a shaped part made of an electrically conducting material and can be used to manage the currents and heat volumes that occur in the field of power electronics.

Systems and methods for fine pitch component placement on printed circuit boards are described. In one embodiment, a printed circuit board includes multiple vias and multiple of electrically conductive pads. The multiple vias include at least a first via and a second via. The multiple electrically conductive pads include a first pad and a second pad. The first pad and/or the second pad may include an electrically conductive material such as copper, silver, gold, or another conductive material. In some cases, the first pad and the second pad each have a reduced width portion positioned between and spaced apart from the first via and the second via.

A cartomizer assembly of an electronic cigarette which is formed from automated assembly compatible parts comprises a container assembly including a container and a heater coil surrounding a wick in an airflow space of the container. The entire coil of the heater coil is inside the container and the heater coil is configured to heat liquid on the wick to generate an aerosol mist during a vaporization process.
