A junction box used for making electrical connections to a photovoltaic panel. The junction box has two chambers including a first chamber and a second chamber and a wall common to and separating both chambers. The wall may be adapted to have an electrical connection therethrough. The two lids are adapted to seal respectively the two chambers. The two lids are on opposite sides of the junction box relative to the photovoltaic panel. The two lids may be attachable using different sealing processes to a different level of hermeticity. The first chamber may be adapted to receive a circuit board for electrical power conversion. The junction box may include supports for mounting a printed circuit board in the first chamber. The second chamber is configured for electrical connection to the photovoltaic panel. A metal heat sink may be bonded inside the first chamber.

There is provided a case of an electric apparatus and the manufacturing method therefor in which a sealing material, the portion of which at the depth is cured without being heated, is utilized at the junction portion of two or more case members. The case of the electric apparatus has a gap forming portion that form a gap in a junction portion where two or more case members for containing an electric apparatus are joined to each other and a sealing material filled into the gap between the gap forming portion; the sealing material is a two-liquid-mixed addition-reaction-curable sealing material that has a normal-temperature curability and includes a platinum catalyst.

Hermetically sealed electronic devices and methods for fabricating the hermetically sealed electronic devices are provided. The devices include a solder sealed vacuum housing. The solder seal is formed using a solder wick having an external solder reservoir. When the reservoir is filled with molten solder, the solder is drawn via capillary action into a precisely defined narrow gap between two components of the housing where it forms an airtight and vacuum-tight seal.
