An electrical connection box includes: a casing that has an opening portion open upwardly, a recessed portion recessed downwardly from an upper edge portion of a side wall; and a slidable cover configured to close the recessed portion. A first thin portion is formed at a side edge portion of the recessed portion of the casing. A second thin portion is formed on the slidable cover. The first thin portion and the second thin portion overlap each other when the slidable cover is fitted into the recessed portion. The first thin portion is includes a chamfered portion where a boundary between an opening edge portion of the first thin portion and the side edge portion is chamfered. A contact portion is configured to be brought into contact with the chamfered portion.

In an electric junction box, both first locking portions and second locking portions are provided in one accommodation portion. The first locking portions are capable of locking an FL holder when the FL holder is inserted from an upper opening toward a lower opening. The second locking portions are capable of locking an FL holder when the FL holder is inserted from the lower opening toward the upper opening. Accordingly, the FL holders can be inserted into the same accommodation portion from the upper opening and the lower opening.

A wiring harness connector cover assembly for a vehicle includes a mounting bracket and a cover. The mounting bracket is configured to be connected to a structural member of a frame of the vehicle. The cover is removably connected to the mounting bracket. The cover includes a front wall, a rear wall, a lower wall and a side wall. The front wall has a first cutout configured to receive a first wiring harness. The rear wall has a second cutout configured to receive a second wiring harness. The lower wall extends between lower edges of the front and rear walls. The side wall extends between side edges of the front, rear and lower walls. The side wall extends upwardly from the lower wall higher than the first and second cutouts.

An automated vehicle includes a vehicle body defining a storage area located rearward of a rearmost vehicle seat in a front-rear direction of the automated vehicle. An interior structure is located in the storage area. The interior structure defines a storage compartment for housing an electronic component of the automated vehicle. The interior structure includes a removable floor panel overlying the storage compartment and a wall panel extended upward from the floor panel in a height direction of the automated vehicle. The storage compartment includes a dedicated space for the electronic component, the dedicated space located forward of a forward edge portion of the floor panel in the front-rear direction and between the wall panel and the rearmost vehicle seat in the front-rear direction.

The objective of the present invention is to provide an electronic control device with which it is possible to improve the flow of hot water, during molding, between openings through which connectors penetrate, in a case of an electronic control device, the size of which has increased as a result of an increase in the level of functionality of the electronic control device, while suppressing deformation of said case. There are at least three connectors. At least three openings through which the connectors are inserted are provided in one plane in a case. A printed circuit board is housed inside the case, and the connectors are electrically connected thereto. The third opening is disposed between the first opening and the second opening. The third opening is disposed in a position furthest from a center C of a plane, in the longitudinal direction of the case.

A guard for a restraints control module includes a corrugated base and right and left corrugated sidewalls. The sidewalls extend above the base and are spaced from a restraints control module secured to the base. The sidewalls diverge from each other in a vertical direction above the base and include alternating furrows and ridges that form the corrugations. The furrows and ridges are connected by rib walls that strengthen the guard against lateral collision forces. A method is disclosed for protecting a restraints control module in a side impact collision. According to the method, in a side impact collision, an object driven into the guard bends the sidewall towards the restraints control module to absorb the impact force applied by the object.

Systems and methods are provided to modularizing a device. In various embodiments, the harness in provided that accommodates many different configurations of the modules. The harness may function as a single element that needs to be replaced and/or connected to accommodate different configurations of modules. The harness may be modular. In various embodiments, unused lines of the harness are capped. In various embodiments, the cap completes a circuit, so that the control system interprets the systems as functioning despite the unused line, whereas the control system may shutdown the system is the unused line is left uncapped. In various embodiments, the harness is used to send control signals to elements of parallel power systems that have high voltage systems that are electronically isolated from one another.

A structure of vehicle electric equipment including a restriction member restricting removal of a bolt for fixing a cover. The restriction member includes first and second portions. The first portion is disposed at a position overlapping with at least a part of a distal end of a connector of an electric cable when seen from an attachment/detachment direction and between the distal end and a portion of the housing opposed to the distal end in the attachment/detachment direction. The second portion is positioned on an axial extension of the bolt fixing the cover. Sum of a gap between the bolt fixing the cover and the second portion and a distance in the attachment/detachment direction between the distal end of the connector in a complete fitting state and the first portion is smaller than a length from an opening of the screw hole to a tip of the bolt.

An electrical junction box can include a case, a substrate connector, and a substrate. The substrate is temporarily fixed and soldered to the substrate connector. The substrate connector and the substrate are stored in the case. The substrate connector includes a pair of shaft-shaped temporary fixing protrusions. Each of the temporary fixing protrusions includes a positioning shaft that positions the substrate and a temporary fixing shaft that prevents the temporary fixing protrusions from coming loose from the substrate. The temporary fixing protrusions can be fitted into fitting holes in the substrate.

A fire alerting apparatus for a vehicle, includes: a temperature sensing device configured to detect a temperature of a bus bar of a high-voltage junction box; and performing a warning by determining at least one of a fire warning state, an overtemperature state, or a vehicle inspection state in accordance with a temperature detection result of the temperature sensing device.
