A power distribution box assembly can include a power distribution box housing, a fuse block, and a plurality of eyelet terminals. The fuse block can include a stamped busbar assembly, a plurality of studs, and a housing. The stamped busbar assembly can include a main power supply portion, a plurality of fuse elements, and a plurality of terminal connecting portions coupled to the plurality of fuse elements. Each of the plurality of terminal connecting portions can: (i) extend from its respective fuse element in a terminal direction that is orthogonal to both directions that the main power supply portion and the fuse elements extend.

A connection terminal 9 of a cable 8 is fastened to a right area of a terminal block of a relay box 1, using a bolt 26. At this time, a connection terminal 6 of a power supply cable 5 is not connected to a power supply-side terminal 11 or a relay terminal 15, and power is not supplied from a battery to power seats. Then, a tab 30 provided on the connection terminal 6 of the power supply cable 5 is inserted into the relay terminal 15 from an inlet 19, and the connection terminal 6 and the relay terminal 15 are electrically connected to each other temporarily. Thus, operations of the power seats are checked.

A power relay assembly is provided. A power relay assembly according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention comprises: a support plate having at least one electric element mounted on one surface thereof and including a plastic material having heat dissipation and insulation properties; and at least one bus bar electrically connected to the electric element and partially embedded in the support plate. Due to these features, since heat generated from the bus bar and the electric element is dissipated to the outside through the support plate, it is possible to prevent performance deterioration due to heat and breakage of electronic components.

The invention relates to a circuit board arrangement for electrical separation of leads, comprising a fuse board configured to hold an electrical fuse, wherein the fuse board has electrical leads and openings formed between adjacent electrical leads; and comprising an insulating member configured to receive the fuse board, wherein the insulating member has separators, wherein the separators are configured to insert into the openings and electrically separate the leads

A power relay assembly is provided. A power relay assembly according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention comprises: an upper case having at least one electric element mounted on one surface thereof; a lower case coupled to the upper case; and at least one bus bar electrically connected to the electric element, disposed between the upper case and the lower case, and including a bottom portion that is in surface contact with at least one of the upper case and the lower case, wherein at least one side of the bottom portion contacts a portion made of a plastic material having heat dissipation and insulation properties in the upper case and the lower case.

A relay device includes a first contact, a second contact, a first conductor, a second conductor, a housing, and a heat transfer member. The first contact and the second contact are switchable between a state of being close to each other and a state of being separated from each other. The first contact is electrically coupled at the first conductor. the second contact is electrically coupled at the second conductor. The housing accommodates the first contact, the second contact, the first conductor, and the second conductor. The heat transfer member is higher in thermal conductivity than the housing. The heat transfer member extends from outside the housing to inside the housing and is in contact with one or both of the first conductor and the second conductor.

Provided are approaches for integrating solenoids and fuses within a compact housing. In one approach, a fuse apparatus may include a housing including a main body, a cover coupled to a first side of the main body, and a base coupled to a second side of the main body, wherein the cover and the main body define a fuse cavity, and wherein the base and the main body define a main cavity. The fuse apparatus may further include a plurality of fuses disposed within the fuse cavity, and a plurality of solenoids electrically connected to a printed circuit board (PCB), wherein the plurality of fuses is disposed above the PCB, and wherein the PCB is positioned within the main cavity.
